RS6 C7 2015 Low revs

[Mr Footlong]

Don't understand why cylinder deactivation would annoy anyone. The engine still has a nice but understated richness to it. In fact, from time to time l switch off my music to enjoy that mildly sonorous tone during deactivation. Maybe it's just me..

Is your car stock or modified?

As stated, certain quirks/annoyances with the 4-cylinder mode are accentuated with things like exhaust system modifications. My non-resonated Milltek exhaust system sounds glorious, but when the car on occasion drops to stupidly low revs in a high gear and uses 4-cylinder mode for good measure, it both sounds and feels a bit off.

Woman and I are driving the car the same way we drive beast and we drove the Cayenne and even with the 4-cylinder guff in there, we are getting 14.2 mpg average it seems, so it serves no purpose for us at all.

Mine's stock PE. I use it as my daily. At this present moment l intend to keep it that way. It's a PE and already an 'exclusive' car and might appreciate in value on being a 'virgin' alone...
I also understand why others want to modify theirs. However, l do feel spending over £100k on a car then remove or add things only serves to reduce your potential market when you eventually want to sell. Think about this: even some of the factory options are not everyone 's cup of tea. More so with after market mods, surely? Each to their own, l suppose.
Re: cylinder deactivation - l am sure it's more to do with lower emissions with the claim for efficiency a far-fetched one.....we don't buy these muscle cars for their green credentials.

My car has Miltek none resonated exhaust and I don’t have any annoying issues with cylinder deactivation)

[Mr Footlong]

I never buy a car giving a second thought to the resale value, I buy it based on what I want it to be and to hell with anything else. Life is too shoort for that crap. The cylinder deactivation is noticeable for me regardless of the drone issue, I don't like the pickup time when going from 4 back to 8, so MRC are killing that for me, end of story .

Mine came with the Milltek Non-res initially and you could tell plain as day when the car was in 4-cylinder mode too, but not as pronounced.

[Iain]

For me, my previous 6 had the non res Millie - it was more pronounced, than my current 6 with OEM sports exhaust.

Not noticed any delay with pickup from 4 to 8, though I am driving more gingerly as I await my fine and points when the wooden tops have decided.....
