No but it is very similar to mine.
As ususal ignorance is blis and it won't have a DSG gearbox !
Paddles yes but not DSG.
I would guess that you need to spend on DRC replacement with KW or similar. £2k max
Mine has just had a new gearbox. I will post about this when I get it back in a day or so but it has taken 3 weeks and warranty direct are involved and a 3k bill from independent after Audi Dealer 6k quote was refused !
Also they don't sound amazing standard so you need an exhaust. CAT back 1k.
They are a bit slow as standard so you need a remap ! 1k ish
Once your there its an amazing car and with a buy price of under 20k what a bargain.

Hi Stevo,
They are very thirsty...you are looking at around 23mpg on a motorway run and 19ish general use down to 16ish if you have a heavy right foot. They are also designed to run on 98+ RON fuel so thats an extra few pound per fillup!!!
They are great beasts though...just depends how much you're gonna use it?? I used to do 20K+ miles a year but I have now resorted to using the train for work when ever I can!!
Wouldnt get rid of the RS though - love it to bits!!!

Hi Stuart, how are things mate, hope you're keeping busy.
Stevo, ask Stuart to help you in anyway he can, he can also view the car with you if it's not too far, this in my opinion is well worth the small charge Stuart would charge.
Stuarts the top RS expert for Audi in Surrey/Hampshire, if anyone knows, he does.

+1
He's got mine at the moment, well worth the 200 mile round trip to drop it off.
I learnt more about my car in 5 mins with Stuart then in the 7-8 months i have owned it...

I take my car (Not an Audi) to Hatfield for service work etc, it's about a 2-2.5 hr round trip even though my nearest main dealer is 4 miles down the road from work and home.
It's worth the extra journey when you know you can trust a mech and get value for money.
Stuart's the man for Surrey and Hampshire
