Water clean is not very good with Audi FSI and TFSI engines because carbon is too hard for water to remove properly. It is much better to clean by hand (take off intake manifold) but takes 4+ hours to do.

Most RS6 have very little carbon anyway. I have just cleaned mine at 96,000 miles (155,000km) and it had only a little carbon.

Shouldnt be an issue as long as your careful around electical connectors, and allow some dry time before starting the car (also do it when engine is warm so it aids the evaporation of excess water)

Top tip never had an issue pressure washing an engine , just leave it running whilst pressure washing so you can hear for any changes to engine noise invade your causing any issues and it helps dry everything out
