A bit off thread but E63 is a viable alternative to rs6 but can you expand on how you find it regarding: 1. Power and low end torque 2. Responsiveness 3. Handling - turn in and also the rear air suspension etc 4. Tranny 5. Build I am not a fan of Mercs but E63 looks good. My favourite alternative f...

Just to round this thread off...service centre finally agrees that torque converter is faulty and its booked in for replacement. However I also took the opportunity to take stock, and the RS6 has cost me NZ$25,000 in service and repairs (about 12,000 quid at current exchange rates) over the past 15 ...

P.S. the real question is, are your boys gonna get their poo together for the Ashes series? Mooch - Q_Cars is located on Australia's East Island, also known as "eNZud"... they don't play in the Ashes, they are, however, very apt at thrashing the Unglish in the rugby. I'm Aussie and I fancy us doing...

Excellent news on the ATF - I forgot to post before that my ATF was about 1 litre down which was topped up but the fault codes kept coming back. I had similar fuel trim fault codes after I had the MAFs replaced but the air box was not sat in the seals properly so unmetered air was leaking in and th...

Update - and potentially good news :D I took the car into my service shop in Auckland for diagnosis. The car was also throwing 17537 (Fuel trim system too rich, bank 1 and bank 2). I was fully prepared for the bad news of a new TC required. Instead, they found the ATF level was too low by 2L. They t...

Good thread and the characteristics you experience are EXACTLY what happened to me, and I did the same logging, the same clear DTC and same behaviour when booting it - great minds think alike! I also thought is this just a sleepy solenoid that the TCU gives up on and then stops sending the message ...

I think this is where it's useful to see graphical data. We need to see what the input / output rpms are doing when the signal for the TC to close is applied. I vaguely remember the thread you talk about, although I think your link is incorrect. Rather than the TC not closing and that provoking the...

Gidday up there in Pomgolia! I posted this over on RS6.com, sorry for the long post, but hope it might generate some ideas... The RS6 threw the dreaded 17125 code a few weeks back, although it is intermittent. I was (am) mentally preparing myself for jumping onto the the "new torque converter, new t...

I had same problem recently. Turned out to be water pump. Cost approx $1500 aust incl labour. Sorry for bad news +1 on this side of the ditch...I had very similar symptoms, and it was the auxiliary coolant pump (that kicks in after the engine is shut down and cycles coolant to avoid hotspots formin...
