Re: RS6 Avant-anybody know it?

Just dropped him a PM, seems right for what I'm thinking, needs some work and happy to get on with it. I do think I need to have a facebook with a car like this to get more access to the various groups/parts finding. Hoping in 6 months to get my little ibiza back from the nephew so that for the comm...

Re: RS6 Avant-anybody know it?

That one from eBay has sold :( Just the way it goes I guess, other life issues got in the way of going to see it but the price dropped and somebody bought and took it right away. Still on the hunt so if anybody does know of any please let me know, happy to look at anything including something a litt...

Re: RS6 Avant-anybody know it?

Going to go try to look at it during the week. If the suspension is shot, is there a way to fix the DRC or does it have to be replaced? I'd rather keep it original if I can

Re: RS6 Avant-anybody know it?

I have VCDS so I can plug in and check any error codes first, does the box normally give any before it starts to go or is it all on feel/performance? The car has no MOT so is limited to around farm tracks and max about 30mph due to the suspension bounce. Bigger risk is there is an issue at the top e...

Re: RS6 Avant-anybody know it?

Very luck that I have space to DIY and already have a GTI so can VCDS to a degree. 2k to fix the suspension isn't too bad if it goes get me a solid car. The service history is complete with a gearbox service not too long ago, where and by who is a different story so will see when I go look at it. Bi...

Re: RS6 Avant-anybody know it?

Thanks for the feedback, agreed that it is a little too risky, if it was something I had a proper garage for to house, strip and work on over time then it could be okay but still very risky. Shoppinit - why do you say the ebay one is marginally less risky? Something missing which should have been do...

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 bu...

Press Cars

Currently eyeing up a C6 RS6 and the one I've seen has full service history but it's a print out from Audi (although I don't recall it being on audi headed paper) as the original history was lost, apart from calling each branch to verify this is there anything else people would recommend? On another...

Re: Risk of Theft

Insurance isn't that expensive few hundred more than the current car so doesn't seem to be a big risk. The car itself is very understated anyway, I don't plan on doing any modifications to it to make it louder or standout more so hopefully that should keep it good plus some seat covers to preserve t...

Risk of Theft

Dream car has always been the C6 RS6 & currently looking for one and often thought it'd be no trouble given the understated nature of the car however the more I dig the more I worry myself about the risk of theft. First golf Rs/S3s now it seems to be AMG estates and fast Audi's to be car of choice f...

Re: Prospective ownership questions?

So apart from the oil seal & coolant pipes is there anything else to look out for? Will take a torch and look underneath it for any oil leaks. Those two are the more specific "RS6" issues, other than those the cars are mainly 10+ years old now so they're getting more generic issues like bushes, hos...

Re: Prospective ownership questions?

So apart from the oil seal & coolant pipes is there anything else to look out for? Will take a torch and look underneath it for any oil leaks. I know rust isn't a common problem on these. Also trying to get hold of QuattroDan as I've seen his previous car and wanted more info about it but no respons...
