Greeting from the Costa Blanca, Spain

Post by RS65007 » Thu Sep 05, 2013 10:18 am

Hi there Audi enthusiasts,

My name is Eddie Flissaard, I live in Spain and own a RS6 from 2003. I found the RS6 in Germany in 2010 and imported it to Spain myself. The interior has carbon fibre inserts, alcantara roof lining and the seats are Recaro in a black leather/cloth combination. I bought the car knowing it had DRC failure, but that’s been sorted since all four shocks have been changed out. When I bought the car it was 100% stock and I am really happy with my RS6 as it is, but there is always something to improve so shortly after I changed from RNS-D to RNS-E and put in a RS6+ aluminium pedal set, fitted RS6 Titan alloys. I also upgraded the engine and transmission cooling by adding an extra OEM oil cooler to the existing one 8) and fitted Wagner intercoolers. The oil cooler upgrade and the Wagners were a preparation to the latest modification done last April by MRC, Banbury fitting a full Milltek non resonated catback system with 100 cell downpipes, high flow airfilters + stage2 engine and transmission remap. Also a H&R ARB set was fitted at the same time I was there.

I am very happy how the car performs now :thumbs: the DRC still OK, but will check the system pressure soon since last pressure charge was in 2010. I hope the oil cooler upgrade will contribute in a longer life of the engine and transmission. I have no mayor mods planned and hope to enjoy the RS6 for some time, hopefully it stays to only regular maintenance costs :wink:

Congrats with this great forum site a real loaded source of information for the Audi fan.

Thank you all and speak to you soon

Sorry mate, I have no other brothers. The only person I can think of now is my cousin Johan (John) Flissaard from Holland?

I guess it depends on the area where you live, theoritically you may not pollute the street and leave it a mess. It also depends on who will catch you, de Guardia Civil or the Municipality Police and in what mood he/she is :? I have experienced that there were temporary restrictions put up for the use of water in a period of drought, washing your car and watering the garden was prohibited. I usually wash my car at the filling station (not the wash street) utilizing the tap and a bucket, the water will be collected in a waste pit, so no immediate harm to the environment :wink:
