    Buying an RS2

    Hi Folks.
    I'm thinking about buying an RS2.
    I've read the threads on what usually goes wrong, but can you guys give me an idea of what these things cost...

    How much for:
    Replacement discs and pads all round
    Replacement suspension
    Replacement coil packs

    Anything else you think is likely to go around 120,000 miles?

    Thanks,
    JohnB

        not always.mine works fine for now,although had some issues.radiator should be changed if it hasnt been recently,perhaps a/c condenser,then maybe all kinds of sensors should be checked and then replaced according to the vagcom as well,eg: )2sensor,WGFV,afterrun pump check,thermostat,radiator sensor,MFTS,ecu temp sender on the back of cylinder head...

          Thanks PapVas, but are these sensors expensive to replace?

            prices depend on item i guess.o2 sensor is 120GBP,WGFV around 50,thermostat less,the MFTS and cylinder head temp sensors are about 70,...give + take
