    bought car with 27K on it, now at 59K. Random stuff...and my preferred tech HATES my car.

    Torque converter immediately followed by full tranny and another torque converter. Two turbos as studs did not come out of one of them during tranny repair.
    1 DV, plus tightening down for boost leak on hoses.
    Tighting of the steering fuild line every winter as it starts to leak.
    New Symphony II due to peeling on switches, same with AC unit (original owner had nails...fine since).
    AC unit 3 more times as it never has seemed to work right in summer on long trips some damper somewhere closes and does not let air out of dash...not sure still if it is fixed.
    Clearing of drain line from AC.
    Timing belt change under warranty.
    Entire front suspension for stabilzer bar (twice) upper and lower control arms.
    1 of the sensors in the exhaust somewhere went, and i think maybe my catillytic converters but not sure if it was this car or my old TT.
    2 CV boots
    One headlight ($200+).
    1 fog light.
    3rd tailight.
    2 under seat light bulbs.
    2 brakelights (free so cheap).
    God knows how many wiper blades.
    Air bag sensors in driver's seat. One in steering wheel.
    On-star 3 times to make it green.
    Rear window switch is currently out...have a feeling it will be more than just the switch.
    1 driver side visor as mirror light was out...entire visor has to be replaced.
    1 new center consul cover (latch gave up).
    1 new glove box as it was rattling like mad for awhile.

    Several oil changes under warranty but now $100 to $180 a shot.

    Brake fluid twice to high temp motul $100 a pop.

    RNSE, XM module $2000
    1 grill $160 (ass backed into it).
    2 RS6 logos on steering wheel now.
    2 sets of rotors, 4 sets of pads ($400ea for front pads $600 installed at dealer, 2 were under warranty), 1 set of racing pads
    2 sets of PS2s at $370ea (w full road hazard coverage)
    1 set of snow tires on my 18s at $1200.
    1 dead pedal from RS6+
    1 set of rubber mats $110
    1 set of OEM logo floormats $700 (f'me).
    1 set of OEM 5 spoke 19" titanium finish wheels $700 ea.
    3 sets of logo valve stem caps as people keep stealing them.

    Ahh and i edit to add 3 RS6 key rings (the paint keeps chipping off) and one Audi $50 little model of the car (in Daytona of course). The model car tends to come before the actual car...R8 already sitting next to the RS6 and TT.



    2003 RS6 Daytona Gray, Silver Interior
    RNSE
    RS6 logo matts (waste of $$$)
    RS6+ OEM 19" Titanium 5 spokes(summer)
    RS6+ Dead Pedal

    Stuck with it forever-depreciation rocks!
