Been away from the forum for a while..
A good friend took some photos of the car for me - so I thought I'd share them here...

Heat dissipation is a problem we face over here (Hong Kong) where, during the summer months, the temperature doesn't drop below 25C during the night with highs between 30-35 during the day - all at almost 100% humidity - in 8 years of owning the car I've seen the ambient temperature over 40C on more...

Hi Jon, Sounds like we will be working in parallel from the other side of the globe... Have you started your oil/water leak repairs yet? What serviceable parts have you decided to stock up on before you do? I flippantly said to my garage here in Hong Kong - just replace all lines/pipe/seals etc... a...

Having checked out the Oil and Water leaks - its obvious that the engine has to come out which means I'll be needing parts...lots of them!!!
Can anyone recommend a supplier for genuine Audi parts please?

Thanks in Advance...

Thanks Ian - I'll check - but we don't have a problem with salt on our roads here so corrosion isn't such a problem. However excess heat is, as it can get up to 35-40 degrees C with 100% humidity which means the car needs a lot of cooling. I note your location as being Stoke and Saudi Arabia - did y...

Thanks Ruedi - I'm meeting the garage tomorrow and I'll relay your experience...

Hi from Hong Kong, Quick question - how many of you guys (and girls?) have had an oil leak which needs the removal of the engine to repair? My 2009 RS6 had it done by Audi in September 2013 at 61k klms and now needs it again at 113k klms which I think is a bit rich.. To be honest - I noticed it abou...

I have a set of Trups headlights in my RS6 - definitely recommend him/them - he also rebuilt my headlights - wires had frayed - probably due to the heat/humidity here in Hong Kong, replaced the drl's which had failed and fitted sequential indicators which work well and aren't to gimmicky unlike some...

RS6 - 2008/9 UK import, currently residing in Hong Kong.
I've owned it since 2012 - and its a keeper I also own a BMW M5 F10 which I am very fond of, but the Audi is still my favourite...
A few photos to share with you guys...

2008/9 RS6 RHD (imported to Hong Kong from the UK). My right hand side DLR's (LED) have failed. This happened about a month ago and I have done some research and it appears the only fix is to purchase a new sealed headlight unit which costs $$$$$'s Has anyone encounter this on their RS6 and found a...

Great garage What was the "annoying oil leak"....not the famous oil seal O ring was it? Not sure, but they did replace the vacuum pump too.... The first time they had the car for a routine service they came back with "the cat's need replacing, sir" at a quoted price of over HK$160K (GBP14,000) ahmm...

Sai Kung... and you?

Thanks classba - RS6 imported from UK in 2012 (715 BHP with a Milltek exhaust, so the private dealer told me - and I believe him too).

Currently off the road with a dickie altenator....having just had the engine out to fix an annoying oil leak, but you have to love it...
