Pay the man, or find a substitute (A6 4.2?) DIY would be a disaster. But first, where does it leak and how do you know? Lots of places this car leaks Pentofrost, main radiator usually isn't one of them.
Pinpoint leak then go from there. Repair could go from easy to bastard in no time. Good luck.

I had a radiator leak too, They wanted $ 1400.00 or so for a new one at the dealership. Different from A6 plastic/aluminium build. Turns out my RS6 has an old cooper radiator with a pin leak that was fixed for around $ 80 bucks in a radiator shop. worth loking into.
The ac has to be evacuated to do the radiator... Condensir has to be removed.. Front end in service position, etc.

Thanks. I'll probably DIY.
Looking into setup.
Service position is not a concern. I have to learn that one sooner or later.
I figured I could get the leak soldered.

I got a radiator leak aswell. Ordered one from Germany on ebay. Took about a week to ship, well worth the wait.
I'm thinking of changing the intercoolers aswell. I take it Wagner is the brand to go with?
