If so, it must be at about 60k miles.

Rule 42
Daytona RS6 C5 Avant. Viper'd, Billies, Waggers, MTM box brain, C6 stoppers, xcarlink, R8 coolant cap (woohoo)
///M3 E46 | XC90 (V8, natch) | Passat GTE | RR Classic V8 flapper

Thanks Dunc. Yup! Judging by the condition (and date stamp), it was the 16yr old factory original.

Didn't quite follow rule 42 - got an extra 22k miles out of it (aka bonus 10 years of use!) Think it was lack of rotation over winter/lockdown that tipped it over the edge.

Gave the 6 a quick maintenance wash, using all the detailing gear I'd acquired over lockdown.
Came out pretty good, IMO.
