As promised here is the picture of the bolt that caused all the problems :shock: :shock: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2223/5742205733_4756287df1.jpg Anyone identify this sort of bolt ? its interesting as it has a taper on the first part of the bolt. Anyway back on the road, thanks to the forum and...

Have sent a PM to him , looks like its for an RS6 plus - although I wouldn't be fussy (!!!) - although i have no way of collecting it even if it is still available !!! so would have to try and get it picked up via courier or something. Here's hoping but in the meantime has anyone else have anything ...

Had a bit of nightmare today. Driving this morning to work in Telford - pick up a 4 inch bolt in the tyre :shock: :shock: (ill upload a picture later when I get a chance.

Just fitted Disc's and pads all round, from DSGwagen -great deal :jump_clap: , however I'm do feel a little miffed. Did this as when I went to Audi they told me Discs worn badly, pads worn badly, and a badly chaffed flexible brake line. Immediately after the service and check (and I do mean immediat...

Guys, Got mine (RS6 - 2003, 88K miles) checked over at Audi recently (last week), :audibash: and as usual (!) a fairly long string of things that will need attention/ urgent attention etc. - however one really will need attention (other I already knew about such as pads worn to 70% - does this reall...

Hi guys done lots of searches but not really getting why I want on this. Has anyone ever done a rear disc and pad fitting guide as mine need doing and I'm not paying a garage/stealer to do it if it's pretty straight forward. I've done other cars before now but would just like a little guide if poss...

I suppose it depends on how confident you are in car electrics, I thought long and hard and then did it myself (RNS-D to RNS-E in a C5 RS6) I would stongly recommend that :- You use the Kufatec adapters they are great (don't forget to get the telephone mute option - even if you dont think you will n...
