Re: S6 prospective purchase questions

The carbon build up, is this similar to the valve issues on RS4?


Any idea what the fix for that is (labour time) and or any way of avoiding this problem?

S6 prospective purchase questions

Been lurking on the forum for a while and initially was looking to own a C5 RS6, but was put off by the DRC, Gearbox problems that are well documented. Then considered RS4, but decided not for me. Now i'm in the position where I need to change one of the cars and i'm tempted by the S6 especially as ...

Clarkson's review of S6 in The Sunday Times

I wonder if this may be the correct place for this, but as there is no forum as yet for the new S6, I thought it may be the place for comment. Yesterdays Times ran a review by JC on the new S6. His review appeared to be subjective from the start and went downhill from there. Not only did he slate th...

I have a few years worth of back issues of VW Audi Magazine from the late 80's and early 90's, I'm pretty sure that there were some back to back tests of the RS2 against a Nothelle tuned 20V UR Quattro and a similarly tuned S2. I'll have to venture into the shed to recover them and scroll through a ...

Although I am not quite ready to purchase a 6, I have been trawling the net for potential purchases. This black RS6 Saloon was on Autotrader a few weeks ago at about £30K, it is now advertised on E bay (200026377450) at a buy now price of just over 10K. May be of interest to anyone looking right now?

Thanks for the helpful replies so far, your knowledge puts things into perspective, but a car like this for me will be bought "from the heart" not the head. Ants4 thanks, I know exactly where you are coming from re space, but the V70 D5 is a keeper and I also have a Disco for ferrying the kids and a...

ninjazx6r thanks for the reply, but I am quite prepared to pay the cost of servicing at main dealers, been there and done that before with previous Audi, Subaru and Volvo. What I was trying to ascertain was, if there were any savings to be made by doing the brake pad / disc changes yourself. If the ...

Home Maintainence

Ok, first post, so please be gentle with me. I've been reading the various posts here for a while as I have always been into things that travel quickly starting with an A. I had various Audis in my early to mid twenties, but moved away from them to, dare I say Subaru's and at the moment Volvo (D5) d...
