BLOODLINE BATTLES C8 v C7 v C6

I enjoyed watching this drag race video between C8 v C7 v C6, each with a stage 1 tune and about the same power. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f04Z2yVglJc There was something wrong with the C7, but the C6 put up a fine fight. I suspect it may have had more torque than the others, which may have he...

Re: 8 Speed ZF8hp from C7 RS7 and RS6 retrofit.

I've been looking for other cars that have replaced the 6HP with the 8HP, and there are several instances, but they've typically used an aftermarket transmission control unit, which is disappointing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5hSrXZ18cA https://turbolamik.eu/ More gratifyingly, a few highly t...

Re: C6 RS6 Brake Disc - any cheaper alternatives?

I don't worry about buying pattern brake discs any more. I think manufacturing discs is a problem that's been solved, as long as you buy from a well-established seller that knows they can't get away with selling rubbish. Cheap pads won't do, I generally buy Brembo or Pagid. The problems with brakes ...

Re: C6 RS6 Brake Disc - any cheaper alternatives?

Hi Jacob, and welcome to the forum. What is the condition of the brakes? You say they drastically need changing - is that because they're squealing? Is it just the pads that need changing, or is it definitely the discs as well? If you just need to change pads, you don't necessarily need to change th...

I'm impressed that you've got some people who are willing to take this on, though. I don't think this is something that forms part of anyone's job description.

Re: 8 Speed ZF8hp from C7 RS7 and RS6 retrofit.

The ZF 8HP90A74 plus adapter isn't EXACTLY a bolt on, but it's close. There are a couple of minor fouls on the bell housing adapter, though they really are minor. The transmission rear mounting is different and might have to be fabricated.

Re: 8 Speed ZF8hp from C7 RS7 and RS6 retrofit.

Yes, the Bentley Continental GT and Silver Spur definitely use the ZF 8HP90A74 transmission. Both 4.0 and 6.0 engines use that gearbox, though the torque converters are different It was used on facelift mark one models built between 2012 and 2017. Earlier cars used the 6HP26 like the RS6, and later ...

Re: Thoughts?

First thought is that a better title would help.
Second thought is that, yes, running costs are very high.
Third thought is that depreciation costs are very low, so total cost of ownership isn't that high.
Final thought is use another car as your daily driver.

Re: The cheapest RS6 V10 salvaged at 215,000 miles

Something still doesn't add up about that car. Unfortunately I have some experience repairing turbos, and a few things stick in my mind. Firstly, for all their temperatures and tolerances etc, turbos are very simple, robust and reliable in themselves. When they go wrong, it's usually because somethi...

Re: C6 Wagon vs Sedan Exhaust

I don't know the answer, but I'm sure you can find out by comparing the overall length of the saloon and the Avant.
