RS246.com Forum :: The World's #1 Audi R, S and RS Enthusiast Community

Hi all, I am considering the purchase of this RS6 (link below) as my daily/second car. Perhaps someone here owned this RS6 in the past? Please share your thoughts and comments. Also, a general question on the C7 platform - Is it as bad as C5/C6, where you need to remove the engine for most jobs? Als...

Just re scanned the car. No EGT warnings. Either it was a blip or the garage had disturbed something when they installed the new exhaust pipe sleeves. I did have a minor exhaust gas leak at the joint. The new sleeves rectified the exhaust fumes leak. Thats a win! I had issues with one EGT, but a qu...

Quick update on Cambelt changes. I have recently heard that Audi have changed frequency for changing Cambelts on our cars. I have it on very good authority that the frequency has been extended to 60K miles. I average around 7K miles per year. So I will now do my Cambelt at 6 yearly intervals (inste...

Update and 2025 RS6 ownership summary: The last year didn't go very well. Right at the start of the season, gearbox left the chat :audibash: It obviously meant the engine out job, and the gearbox was sent for a rebuild. https://i.ibb.co/Q3Fq5Nsd/engine.png https://i.ibb.co/KpMkZqCr/gb.png Once the e...

Hello thanks for the info and pictures, is there any videos here of how do you this or any video showing it being done etc?

Lad from the "Not economically Viable" YT channel did it. I wouldn't use it as a reference, but it gives an idea.

Noice! English plates on the RS6+, are they up north (where I am) or over from engeraland for the day? (I didn't know if there were any other RS6+ in NI) We went over for the RS6 Plus to England last year (thread below). He is in the process of getting robbed by the Irish import taxation system the...

Short clip from a meet organised by Audi last weekend in Waterford, Ireland. My RS6 any my mates RS6 Plus were shinning :kissmyrings: These cars are truly special and beautiful to look at, enjoy :D https://i.ibb.co/whCr41rh/Screenshot-2025-05-02-12-15-36-817-com-miui-gallery-edit.jpg https://www.you...

Looks great, the best colour and shape

Great work! Good to know this can be done with the engine in as, I heard many opinions its an engine out job

I pose this question from time to time but just interested to know if any other forum members have experienced the joys of ownership from new? I bought my C5 in November 2003 fresh off the production line and it's still giving me smiles every time I drive it. With 71,000 miles on the clock and only...

Just realised I never closed this off, the system took a couple days to fully bleed itsself out and not have loads of tiny bubbles in the reservoir. But is all working perfectly now, no noise, smooth action as it all should be. I was lucky to get the all air out quickly enough through this steps. I...

Probably one of the worst jobs I've done on a car, such crap design. 100% not intended to be taken out with the engine in. But it's out now and will be off the be rebuilt this week. I couldn't agree more! I am after doing it on my one due to a massive leak. Like Felix mentioned... it's so tight, th...

heres an alternative to the very expensive audi gaskets, these are hydraulic wiper gaskets and they hold much better than the audi offering,
£14 A Pair.

Ordered! Thanks for sharing

Been to the shops for a Chinese takeaway. Parked up in the car park. On return I couldn’t help but admire the car on her stunning looks. It doesn’t matter what angle you view the car from, they just stand out from the norm. That may be helped by the fact that I had the car cleaned and waxed this mo...

Beautiful clean example

My one is used only in dry conditions; otherwise, it sits in storage. The advantage of living in the west of Ireland is that there is no salt on the roads, so I will reasonably take her out even during the winter.
