Re: Used C6 RS6 as a daily driver?

From my experience (3x engine in/out) In the UK at a specialist like Unit20, MRC etc etc it'd be near £3k for the engine and GB to be removed/refitted - then there those sneaky extras costs involved of "well the engines now out and we found XYZ needs doing" or "Whilst the engine is out, at this mile...

Re: Used C6 RS6 as a daily driver?

In my 9 years of ownership, it was a daily driver on a 50 mile commute for about 3 years, then I moved abroad for 4 years and drove it once/twice a year, and now I've been back now for 2 years its a "once a week" car, as my commute is <3 miles each way (waste of an RS6 for that). In those 3 years of...

Re: RS6 C8 2021 Gearbox oil change and sport dyff

On previous ZF gearboxes the two diffs (1 and 4 in your image) use a single diff oil reservoir whilst the gearbox core (items 2 & 3) again uses its own centre reservoir. As to the fluids themselves I've not seen a ZF 8HP gearbox myself so I can only go off what the general internet has said so take ...

Re: BLOODLINE BATTLES C8 v C7 v C6

I'm surprised that none of these cars have an MRC map TBH, they've been proven time and time again to be the best RS6 mappers in the UK. As for the races, well I'd also like to see the dyno for the C6 just to the torque figures because the first 1-2 seconds of each rolling race and drag race didn't ...

Re: IanH's C6 RS6 - 955hp & 1200nm - Updated 09 Feb '24

A few smaller things - Fitted the new throttle body a while back and all is good there, popped into MRC Tuning in Banbury during a weekend trip back to Stoke for an oil change (Fuchs Titan Race Pro-S 5w30). When we filled in my service book we realised it'd been over a year since the last service so...

Bleeding the ABS pump with Bosch ESP 8.0 - A Guide

Hi All, This is a guide for those like me who end up in this situation of having to bleed the ABS pump, not those just doing a normal brake bleed. However this procedure below will also bleed your calipers and do a full fluid change at the same time anyway (approx 3L of fluid). I was changing my bra...

Re: Turbo inlet seal part number help

Just for clarity - this is the gasket that fits on the inlet side of the 90' turbo "inlet/elbow" rather than the rubber O-Ring which fits on the outlet side, between the turbo inlet/elbow and the front of the turbo. https://i.imgur.com/lybV5FL.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/kDfScNr.jpeg Unfortunately noth...

The battery still had a year and a bit to go on it's 5-year warranty but who (except my father) keeps receipts that long?
I keep mine in a small plastic bag (the type banks used for coins) and put it under the battery strap. I'm due a new battery later this year based off age, oh Joy!

Re: Misfire saga

Low batteries on these things throw up all manner of "not a real fault" issues, even if you recharge them via driving for an hour or so they still seem to throw random stuff without a full "out of the car" recharge or a replacement battery (depending on its age). Laptop - I'm still lucky, my VCDS la...

Well I had to have a little play didn't I! Like someone using a fidget spinner, as I watched a film last night I was absent mindedly working the valve back and forth and after about an hour I noticed that the valve was opening just a tiny more and more as time went on (like another 1-2 degrees after...

Re: No rpm

I'd be looking at the wiring by now if changing the sensor hasn't fixed it. Sadly, physically checking the wiring is a massive pain to do and is quite labour intensive as you have to open up various looms between the ECU and sensor to see if there's any damage. With it being mostly effected by heat ...
