Do you have Air suspension or are you on DRC (Performace Pack) - if the latter then tow-bar can't be fitted.

Quick update to close this out. Car in this week, front end off, PCV replaced and water pump done at same time as the front was off. Also full service incl new plugs. Back on the Dyno for a tweak and sure enough, there were all 700 horses back in the stable! :jump_clap: :jump: :boots: :rocker: That ...

Something else nice lurkig in the background too!!

Thanks - useful update

My front end is coming off shortly to replace the PCV and MRC had already said they'd replace the coolant pump as a precaution - but then mine has done 175K miles!

Cheers

Dave

Still on original discs and pads - I think last MOT said pads 20% worn!

Dave

Hi all - I'm now up to 175K miles (280K Kms) and still as good as new - maybe I should try harder when stopping!! Honestly I wouldn't go back to the old steel brakes etc if you paid me - ceramics are just "fit and forget". :boots: And yes there can be noise at relatively light breaking and low speed...

Wrong forum mate - you need the C6 forum - most on here are V8 folk!.
Good luck with your project

OK - second day at MRC. LP fuel pump duly changed out and car onto Dyno. First observaton was that my map was an early one so Doug did a full update and also on the box. After a lot of tweaking we found that we were still 50 or so HP short, and we get quite a lot of oil smoke at WOT, and have conclu...

Facebook is good for general chatter, but I'd come here every time for experienced advice every time.

Got this sorted! :-) Actually I had two problems, both fuel delivery related. The low revs misfire seems to have been a result of worn seals on the HPFP's - they have done nearly 100K miles so probably not surprising. When Doug Dyno'd the car we realised that 90 of the ponies had run off and that th...

Turned out mine was a leaking rad which has now been replaced. I think it was only leaking when hot and pressurised so nothing showed on the garage floor etc.

All fixed by MRC - bless them!!

Hi, I'm on DRC (by choice) and currently on 168K miles. In that time I've had one DRC strut start to mist, and replaced it, and the opposite, one just to be sure. I ran a C5 RS6 for years, and yes back in 2007/8 there were some problems, though most of them were because the technicians were useless ...

I guess the first obvious questions are "when does this occur" and "what codes is it showing?"

Merry Christmas pal , cheers for the post. Is Martin at MRC ? If they're local ill pop in the new year

No mate - Unit 20 is much closer to you - Neston on the Wirral - https://www.unit20.com/

Hi and welcome, To answer your questions: - knocking noise MAY be your strut, but I also have the same noise, replaced unit a few thousand miles ago as well as all bushes etc.... and still have the noise. MRC are as baffled as I am! Doesn't seem to affect handling etc so really don't know what it is...
