Any one got a c5 rs6 that doesn't run? Engine issue/box issue that they're willing to sell as a full car. Estate preferred.
Can collect from anywhere in the UK
I have a running project for sale if you are still looking?

Re: Tappet noise and treatments?

I’ve been looking into this for a while. Our engines use a larger rocker arm which then has a roller bearing integrated into it. It also has 2 smaller lifters which you can remove. Not that many other Audis have this sort of configuration. The lifter themselves aren’t that bad to remove, but you ne...

Re: Tappet noise and treatments?

Ok. Gotcha. So not individual tappets but grouped into a wide holder. Weird. So you only really hear it above 3000rpm? Must be pretty loud then. Still worth checking the cam dephasers for wear on the tensioner pads. Grouped in two seperate banks with 4 lifters either side is how I read it. I will a...

Re: Tappet noise and treatments?

I trust him completely, he's been working on it and keeping it going for 7 years . P6 Performance up near Aberdeen, knows his way around Audis etc and builds his own B5 S4's etc I will be typing it out wrong :-) Here's a snippet of the message from him..... I stripped down and removed the camshaft c...

Re: RS6 Avant-anybody know it?

Looking at an RS6, very cheap as it has no service history, from the photos it looks very straight but I need to go see it in the flesh. Always wanted one and I can spanner and engineer so I'm not afraid of working on it and already planned to do a full engine service if I get it. The "dealer" (I b...

Re: Tappet noise and treatments?

I have a noise from my 2003 RS6 Avant and the guy who looks after my car has said it's a bad hydraulic lifter, only thing being without stripping down the engine he cannot tell if it's from the exhaust side rockers arms or the inlet rocker arms. He's also told me he can only source one of the two, w...

Re: Sticky for pics/vids RS6 C5

A wee update as it's been a while. Still getting bits and bobs done on her, car started to get a vibration under load so we suspect either the inner cv boots or the prop shaft bearing, it's also thrown up a couple of faults on the gearbox. 'F125 switch implausible signal Intermittant' which in turn ...

Re: 830bhp 1100nm

Sounds like a jet fighter!

Probably used 1/2 a tank on the dyno alone :biggrin3:

Also didn't realise moving the rs6 badge gives me 10bhp.............I'm on it :bigblink:

Wagner Intercoolers and sundries

On the scrounge again for a set of Wagner Intercoolers and all sundries for my c5 RS6. Nearly new and in excellent condition please. I'll try this before having to fork out full whack for a new set. Every penny saved = more toys and goodies for her in the long run and my marriage lasting a little lo...
