New RS6 owner in Devon advise please.
Evening All.
Had my RS6 for about 6 months now and I bloody love it. The odd oil leak, parking sensor and tyre pressure issue but that being said it's been super well behaved.
I've fitted a Milltek and it's epic. Just found some Decat milltek pipes online but I'm wondering if I need a remap once fitted? She's been well looked after by previous owners with new gearbox and coilovers fitted not long ago but it's up at 160k and I'm worried if I remap it I'm opening the doors to bigger problems........
It's always had the cold start rattle but only 1 in 5 times does it make a noticeable noise but 1 in 20 or so times it's really quite loud and a turn off then back on always sorts it. I'm looking to get this sorted but not sure the best way ahead. Is there anyone local to me that has done it themselves/how much did it cost?
Cheers
Cameron.

Give Audi Taunton a bell, and ask for Stuart..

Doesn’t the engine need pulling to replace downpipes?
Re: New RS6 owner in Devon advise please.
This! IIRC, Stuart was THE expert on these when he was @ Camberley.

You will need a remap as the Lamda sensors will through an EML with no cats.

Thanks all. I will try and get in touch with Stuart.
Any recomendations for what remap to go for?

MRC Tuning every time - and a nice run up to Banbury to get it done, with plenty of beans on the way back!!
