hi all

I went from a 04 B6 S4 to an 03 RS6. The S4 is a great allround car, fai;ry quick, extremely reliable and relatively cheap to run compared to the Rs6. However compared to the RS6 it is plain boring MO - in fact that is one of the reasons I changed.

The RS6 is a real Q car, you don;t see many on the road and people who know stop and look. It is also blistering fast and a lot quicker than the S4.

MPG wise - well to be honest there's nowt in it. the S4 averaged 22-23mpg and 25-26 on a long run and if you drive thr Rs6 carefully it will see 24-25

Well, unless it has changed again. Audi revised all the cambelt intervals sometime in early 2006 (after your service book was printed). The RS interval is different to anything else and, unfortunately, many dealers do not seem to be aware! Call Audi customer services and check!
