Hi Rupert

Reminds me of the time I drove back from Germany (other side of Frankfurt) to Calais on one tank of fuel in the S6 (didn't change gear for 400+ miles).

Much better than my best - where were you?

Hi Shy Rachel My experience suggests that if you can get to Northampton then APS at Brackley is a nice spin down the A43. Big service should be around £450. They are excellent. Got taken to the cleaners by Audi for the cambelt at about your mileage. Be very careful if using them to get a written quo...

Hi All

Keep seeing this one (Blue RS6 Saloon) on my way to work in the Chalfonts - wondered if its keeper was on the site - meet up for a beer maybe?

Good plate though.

RS6 (Black/Black)

Nice to see you emerge unscathed (and the car of course). I'm with SteveH and have kept a spare which lives in the boot (well fills it really) until we go on holiday (perhaps an Avant would be a better idea after all). Grant has my other spare and I think he's heading the same way - also useful if y...

Is it the retract only mode after being fully extended?

Only solution is to reel in belt, take saw to furniture - much cheaper than Audi parts

On the S6 I had the fuel sensor had a broken wire which would connect until it was about 1/4 full then suddenly report empty - (as usual Audi wanted to dismantle complete car and dashboard etc to look for it while emptying my wallet). I dismantled the sender from the tank (quite tricky until you hav...

Hi Chaps -

APS Brackley (lovely people and competent too) have just done the small service on my one - princely sum of £148.55 . Never ever going back to the dealers (no point they just make things worse and charge you extra for the pain)

Hi Adam Sorry to here about your car and pleased to hear that you walked out, been there myself and not much fun. Should you decide not to go for an Avant - mine is up for sale and meets some of your requirements- mostly Blackness. http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/213393.htm Let me know. Yours Ric...

Dear All My RS6 is now for sale (Quiet sobbing and teeth gritting).

Did mine at 40k / happened to be around 3 years as well. There's a post somewhere about how much it all cost - make sure you know what they think they are doing as the random number generator works for which bits get done and how much it all costs.

Good Luck.

Division Manager for TMD Technologies (Left over bit of EMI) sell Radar kit to other peoples governments. www.tmd.co.uk - always aim to have the fastest bit of kit in the car park - succeeded for the last 10 years (S6/S8/RS6). May be p'ing off my bosses - still stuck with Jags.

Still have one unbuckled (got to have a spare) if you still have any money left.

Hi David

I have PM'd you. As per Lig's message I have previously found the dealers helpful on vehicles history - sometimes get confused about Private plates etc though.

Amersham always used to give out A3/A4s never anything nicer even when it was their fault (see previous posts) for both S8 and RS6 . So how some of you seem to do better beats me - constant source of disapointment and missed sales opportunity on VAG side. rjpatrick 80 2.8E (Sold) S6 1994 (sold) S8 (...

Hi Cfcdoc I have to admit that I'm suprised that others get such poor MPG. I drive 10 miles to work - mixed fast dual carriageway and urban, usually get a real 20 mpg, creeps up to 22 - 24 out of town (90-100) on Mways (overseas obviously;) . Couldn't do more and retain licence. Competent servicing ...
