Little update on this. Found the reason faults still there.............lad never replaced the mount and just did the NS one. He told my mate who owns the garage it had been done but turns out never did it as he said the engine would need to come out so just binned it off. I know this isnt the case ...

I saw that. What he was looking for out of a car is not what the C5 was designed for, though it can carve up corners well - for a front heavy wagon with a few improvements to suspension, brake pads and some high performance modern tyres. Even without the mods, e.g. bone stock (but fully working) it ...

Got into the scuttle box on the weekend. Replaced the orifice tube/screen and 3 seals that I could access. Check out that orifice tube! I don't think it's the smoking gun, potentially it's that way as a result of the system overheating and scorching itself after repeatedly being topped up (repeatedl...

They have a thin aluminium band around the outside, I used a small screwdriver to deform it and bend it inwards. Making sure not to score the bore it sits in. To put the new ones in requires some patience as you need to try and get them to sit squarely before pressing them in. Then use your favouri...

2 of the breather hoses had for what ever reason been replaced with some aftermarket silicone hose, which was of course leaking....new ones are on order. I'd had some codes for lean mixtures. The 2 seals between the mafs and the inlet were well past their best so have replaced them too. Had to get ...

Thanks gents. I'll quickly confirm the engagement on HI then get the leak test done, fix the leak and replace the strainer, regas then cross fingers .

I know I know, but we're all masochists at heart given we own these things. I figure I'll tempt Murphy knowing full well what I'm in for, as opposed to tip toeing around in counter clockwise circles while throwing salt over my shoulder

You’d want AC for demisting so I think it’s normal that it’s on when the heating is on max. Hmmm interesting point, thanks Shopp (as always). I'll log the high pressure value and the clutch engagement during HVAC operation and see what happens. I'm crossing my fingers that if I have to replace the ...

Took the six out to stretch its legs/blow out the cobwebs yesterday and as I usually do when I return home I left it idling it with the heater on HI to help cool things off. After a few minutes I came back and could smell something burning. It wasn't the smell of oil, coolant or trans fluid, or brak...

I can honestly say that the Rs6 has been one of the most reliable cars I have ever owned.

You deserve some sort of prize! Not only daily'ing them but for the coin thrown at it to do so

I have often wondered about locking myself out. As : If I am sat in the drivers seat and parked up. The doors will automatically lock. So I open the drivers window slightly which stops the automatic locking. Same at the car wash. Before I exit I will open a window slightly. I have also been known t...

Good stuff Ron.

That’s where I’ve got my charger connector. Cable isn’t long enough to reach round the back and I don’t like reversing into my drive.

Good thinking

Just finished watching it. Awesome job! How are your cam tensioners behaving after the detective work you did in the previous rs6 video?

Thanks, it does seem like a tricky job.

Wow, busy! In your opinion would it be feasible to create moulds of the front grille surrounds, upper and lower? Then produce carbon fibre versions?
