Amar! Hasn't your 6 only done 11k miles Walk in Audi and tell them you want it replaced for nothing as they are supposed to out last steel disc's with a claimed life of upto 95k miles thats a massive difference. Tell them they have to prove there hasn't been a defect in the manufacturing process and can they explaine why thay had such a massive life span.
My Granny could get a clutch to last longer in her Metro (just)

They tried killing you, no way thats really bad. Doesn't say that in the advert for them.
I've been telling the folk down the social club about it, and they are not happy at all, they've taken to the streets

Looks like a bunch of committed petrol heads down your social club Dez. They look like they are really sharing Amar's pain!

I LOL'd

Think Amar's mileage is somewhat higher than that - wouldn't surprise me if he's done 11k in it since buying it though!

Ceramics do the job when you're running big power like Amar is - I suspect Audi would take about 2 seconds before laughing off the idea of warranty replacement, but if you don't ask you don't get.....

I guess the argument boils down to whether the ceramic discs have lasted x times longer than sets of steel discs given the abuse from 200mph that the car is capable of, compared to a stock one?

Car has done 52k miles now, Audi reckon they *could* last up to 186k miles...

Audi have replaced ceramics for out of warranty RS6's in the past, even though they knew that particular car was tuned. It's a long and lengthy process, I'm on holiday at the moment and just cannot be bothered.

Dezzy - Loved that.
