I am sending this from western Canada - I currently drive a 2004 S4, and I am in the process of buying a 2004 RS6.
I read the great stories on this car and the horror stories.
The car I am looking at had the DRC replaced, the cam belt has been done and the brakes/rotors.

The mileage is under 80K (kms)

I did read yesterday about the temperature levels, that could indicate problems with the torque converters.

Other posts indicate the transmissions are weak, what do I look for, or is it inevitable that it will need replacing?

Thank you
