RS6 Avant advice

Post by Pieman » Fri Nov 07, 2014 11:48 am

Hi there,

I'm writing a feature on the C5 RS6 Avant for Piston Heads and would love to know your opinions on the following please...


Servicing and maintenance - what are the most important service points and what are the key things that can go wrong?

Buying advice -what should buyers watch out for?

Tuning - what are the most popular tuning choices?


Many thanks,

Guy R Baker

Quite.

Guy, to get an idea of what the owner needs to be like to own an RS6, have a look at this thread:

viewtopic.php?f=2&t=105914
Daytona RS6 C5 Avant. Viper'd, Billies, Waggers, MTM box brain, C6 stoppers, xcarlink, R8 coolant cap (woohoo)
///M3 E46 | XC90 (V8, natch) | Passat GTE | RR Classic V8 flapper
"The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at and repair."
