I am going to spring for an extended warranty on my RS6 that was delivered before Christmas. I am concerned about DRC, trans, turbo, or similar failures that I've seen listed on RS6.com.

I have a couple of quotes, and wanted to get some feedback on what you may have seen out there, recommended warranty companies, costs, coverages, and similar.

Here are the two I am considering, and leaning towards the exclusionary bumper-to-bumper to cover DRC failure:

You can never have too much coverage with the RS6. Get the big one.

Did you call the Bruce M guy from Audiworld.com? If not, check there.

Overall, those prices dont look too bad for a car with 70+k miles.

I've used mine several times.

fuel sensor.. .$1000

Broken AC button.. $200

Something else.. forgot, but i remember it was $500

torque converter just went out... ouch that's gonna set them back a bit!

New n75 valve and boost sensor (before they realized it was the TC)..$500

I'd say get the longest lasting one you can!
