Audi RS6 reliability

I have never had such an unreliable car. In the 3 years of ownership it has had the suspension replaced twice, the cam belts, part of wiring loom, brake discs, four new tyres, and has had satnav, warning lights and countless other small things fixed.

Airbag

There is no key on the RS6 as airbag disconnection was optional. My dealer tells me there is a retrorfit solution for £500 inc labour but they wont fidle with the wiring which is often sugegsted as a way round it. It seeems to me that the omission of an airbag switch on what is essentially a high pe...

Disconnect airbag

How can I turn the passenger airbag off in my 2004 RS6? Yes, I know it's not a great idea but I need to carry a baby in the front seat for a few weeks.. Audi don't recommend it and won't tell you how to do it- yet the sell cars with systems that can be turned off!

Hats off to Camberley Audi

I think I may have found a dealer who knows about RS6s. Having had my car in for a gearbox fault at Finchely Road and Yeovil Audi only to hear they could not locate a fault, Camberley diagnosed faulty solenoids in the gearbox and have replaced them. The car is perfect now.

Faulty gearbox

My RS6 is about to go into the workshop for the third time to cure a noisey gearbox. It clunks at low speed when engines is cold and make a sound I can only describe as like a circular saw cutting through timber. All the dealers I take to car to find no fault and take no action. Has anyone had simil...

jerky gearbox

Shortly after purchasing my RS6 it developed a jerky gearbox which frequently triggered a power down in the engine. I got this fixed by audi who discovered a leaking gearbox gasket, but the problem is still there. It's not quite as jerky but it's now started whining. Anyone else suffered this proble...
