APS tuned RS6 Avant

Post by KKRS6 » Fri Dec 17, 2010 2:23 pm

Does anyone know anything about this car or its history? I would also appreciate any comments on the tuning company APS. Not one I am familiar with.

No way if it's just a catback milltek, need downpipes, cats etc for that!

APS are known and good tuners - you could give them a call and ask about the car.

He claims "Stage 3" tune - need to ask what he means. To get 535 you need not only map and Milltek, but 3" downpipes and reduced/no Cats. So also need to find out what it has and whether it will pass MOT as it stands. With just Map + Milltek you won't get much over 510.

Thanks for your comments chaps - much appreciated!

Is this true "Cant have auto wipers/auto lights. Not an option on C5 RS6"

Makes me think it might be a dodgy dealer masquerading as a private seller otherwise!

I'm always wary about any person who spells it "tunning"
