Hi guys and gals, I'm met with a tricky decision to sell my RS6. I'm now working in the USA alot and don't drive it only done about 1000miles in the last year. Just had cam belt changed and unfortunately just after it broke a cam chain tensioner pad. I don't have the time to fix it before heading ba...

Fluid is new and green, cleaned filter and bled system on the ramp. Have to keep digging, maybe a collapsed pipe
Cheers

should add not losing fluid and no bubbling in the reservoir

Any one had issues with there power steering, on mine i have had a whine for quite a while which turned into a lack of assistance on the steering. I had the front of the car last night and changed the pump and still have a lack of assistance and still whining. wondering if anyone has had a collapsed...

cheers guys, top advise! i'll grab some snow socks to chuck in the boot in case of emergency. otherwise i'll be having fun in the snow..

calling all people that have driven to the alps in there rs6's. Off on a snowboarding trip at the end of the month, how do they perform in the snow, do you take snow socks/chains as a precaution or run a winter tyre? normally been in defenders etc and not bothered with them.
cheers tom

So took the diff out last night and stripped it, thankfully had 37/9 ratio, pinion bearing was really seized so getting the wrong reading when working it out from spinning pinion x times to 1 rev of output. New diff in and all good!
Nice one for the help, much appreciated

Ok so the only code I can find is ggw followed by 6 numbers. On both diffs. Some googling seems to suggest this is 3.19 ratio which is what I have.
Anyone know about this code?

thanks I'll have a look for the code, strange that mine measures as a 3.2:1 though.

thanks, have you got the codes and relevant ratios to hand? done endless searching but not come up with anything.

both have jkp stamped on them

what is this FON??
is it the code on the alloy part of the bottom of the diff, if so both have the code but different ratios.

hi all, recently bought an rs6 avant 2004 and love it. however the pinion bearing in my rear has taken a turn for the worse. i picked up a second hand diff yesterday, went to fit today but i have different ratios. anyone know if there are different ratios fitted to the rs6. i have a 3.2 in my car an...
