C5 rs6 "bane"
Hi I've had this now for 3 weeks and truth be told it does need work so thought I'd start this to keep track and show people it can be done at home.gearbox is fine and was rebuilt in 2014 and I had it serviced 2 weeks ago by JKM in Portsmouth and apart from the oil being a little black there were no bits in the filters.coilovers are crap as the springs are not up to the weight of the car but I do have some h&r springs that I'll put on soon.ive just changed the front discs and pads and got tears to do next.also have a new maf to Put on as there not reading the same.here she is.ive had to replace the MAF plugs as the old ones have been butchered!this is the show the state of the front pads they even by past the ware alarm!then there's the cv joints well they were so bad I had to hammer the old ones out!but now have rebuilt both front axles theres still a hell of a lot more to do I have a load of service parts(plugs-oils-filters ect) to fit as well as a proflow exhaust to fit.this is my 3rd c5(I've got a 2.7t a6 avant as a daily) so I know them pretty well and this is my dream car so even though it needs work(I got it cheap!)I'll have peace of mind that I know it's done and I enjoy working on them.

Pretty sure the h&r coil overs are poor, they sag premature.
Can't believe the state of those maf plugs
You replaced the brakes with oem?

Re: C5 rs6 "bane"
Update-so I've just changed the mafs and the engine temp sensor and engines running a lot better now because of that and the fact the airbox is bolted down as the nuts were missing were it bolts down on the cam covers and the thread was stripped on the inlet manifold so I drilled it out and welded a nut on the underside of the bracket that the n112 is onalso does anyone know where I can get the grommets that fit in here were the air boxs fits as mine are missing!changed the wing mirrors glass as both mine were clouded also changed the Ariel as that was falling apart.had my steering wheel re-trimmed in black alcantara with white stitching really happy with it think I'm going to get the handbrake and shifter done next.started fitting my proflow exhaust today and not going to lie the fit is crap I've had to reweld a few bits!does sound good but I need to get the fit a bit better before I test drive it.and while I was under the car I removed one of the Drc pumps and changed the diff oilwill remove the other pump 2omoro as well as get the exhaust to fit better!hopefully get some more time on the car over Xmas .
