C5 RS6 Avant avus

Morning

Returning to the fold in the very near future as I’ve just put a deposit down on this little gem. I had to sell my last one a few years ago to buy the ex out of our house. But always wanted to get another so I lurked and bided my time. Anyway. Happy Father’s Day to me 😂

Very tidy car 76k. All original apart from a passenger wing and headlight at some point but a decent replacement. Only noticed as I used to be part time in body prep. Has a small dent on a door which I will get sorted in due course.

First jobs will be servicing inc gearbox. A good clean and possibly a fault code and another good checkover to see any issues.

I’d also like a mrc map at some point as I did my last one and loved it

Yeah non res miltek cat back. Will google image the correct location unless anyone has a pic to hand.

It’s thrown up an egt code but don’t know if it’s old so will clear it and run some tests. I collect it tomorrow night. Really pleased with the low mileage for the cost

KW’s. Front stirs a little low and seems like it ramps up over small bumps so plan to lift it an inch to match the rear. Badge is now in the correct place. So first jobs done. Got it home tonight.

Adjusted the kw’s today. 20mm front and 10mm rear to level them out. And a decent clean
