After a set of c7 concave 20 inch wheels

No rs6 has launch control as they all used torque converters Just as the new m5 has the e63 is a different story as it uses clutches what your doing is brake boosting, if you have ever launched s3 golf r s6 you’ll know that the car isn’t trying to tear away from the brakes it “dumps the clutch” wher...

the terminology is not the easiest i call the final drive running to the front diff a propshaft ha ha

Double oil seal looks good That double oil seal is probably responsible for most 6HP problems. It's a no-brainer to replace it, but watch out, there are two different sizes / heights. Nick There is only one double oil seal size, common to both 6HP26 and 6HP28, don-t be mis-led second this i have do...

Any codes?

all i know is the oil smells like crap, i will need some when reassembling my gearbox
