Re: Issues with Audi RS6 2023 (15.000 KM)

I think you need to lower your expectations a little. Having owned an A6 2.0Tfsi and a C8 RS6 I can assure you that 95% of the car is the same. The entire dash for example is identical... Well apart from the RS on the wheel and the quattro logo. The quality is therefore representative of a £45k A6. ...

Re: Audi Extended Warranty

I would (and will) go Audi, I think its a grand or so and much easier to argue with a dealer when you have the in house offering.

I wouldn't fancy a major failure with my warranty by a third party.

Re: Pre-registered car - discounts

As RS6 owners we all want to believe they'll hold their value. But as @Wattsm666 suggests, the market is in a bit of a mess and high end cars such as the RS6 always get hit hard. Interest rates bonkers to say the least. I monitor the value of mine and after 1 year and 11k miles I would say I have lo...

Re: RS 6 Avant performance Carbon Vorsprung / missing Convenience Key?

At least when you are in the car you can pop your phone on your wireless charger.... Oh wait.... Let me guess; its a semi conductor supply issue. Mind you, every other manufacturer seems to be adding functionality not taking it away. Do you have electric steering wheel adjustment? There was a rumour...

Re: Coming from c7 to c8

I had a C7 and a C8 black edition (before I got my C8 RS6). Not the same car I know but as stated above the C8 is far more refined.

One of my slight bug bares with the RS6 was that other than the seats and the logo on the steering wheel; there's no difference (internally) from my 2.0l TFSI BE.

Re: Tyres

Thanks @si_b. Well I shopped around and in the end went with kwik-fit... I wouldn't normally use them but they had 15% off four tyres and when you're paying circa £380 a tyre that a substantial saving. If anyone is looking for tyres the black Friday deal ends on Sunday and will save you a few hundre...

Tyres

Looking for your thoughts here please fellow C8 owners. I have a vorsprung on the 22's and it came with the dreaded Hankook's (Mind you I cant fault them and they've covered 15,000 miles!!)... My tyres are now due and im unsure which to go for. It looks like the four are going to cost £1000 - £1400 ...

Re: RS6 performance

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Audi need to sort out their supply chain issues. I was waiting for my C8 RS6 for over a year and then the date simply pushed out four weeks every four weeks. I had to cancel and buy a 'nearly new' one. I can't comprehend how they're selling a £130k car on a...

Re: RS6 performance

It’s a LHD car so will no doubt have full spec and extra. It won’t be poverty UK spec.

If its here by September I’ll be pleasantly surprised!:
I had the same call on my A6 C8 black edition (before I went RS6) and then two days later they called to say it was on its way!

Be hopeful!

WTAF 🙀 is it the Porsche philosophy of pay more get less 😂
You've got DRC - not air suspension. The vorsprung comes with the upgraded suspension as standard... DRC cant be raised or lowered.
