Mine does the twist movement, not sure about the forwards and backwards though.

Re: Is this normal ;-)
Mine doesn’t twist or rock back and forth.
So I presume it isn’t normal.

Definitely not normal. Probably a worn selector mechanism.

Selector mechanism sounds expensive... It works fine, but annoys the <beep> out of me.
Re: Is this normal ;-)
They are probably the same for all A6. You could probably find a second hand one easily enough.

Mines tight... 
Re: Is this normal ;-)
Here's another one.Window clunk when going down, as in when it reaches its stop.

Anyone getting this, if not normal what's it a symptom of?
Re: Is this normal ;-)
I'm pretty sure mine does that also. I've also replaced the mechanism when the window dropped into the bottom of the door, and I'm still sure it does this.
Re: Is this normal ;-)
Thanks Mark. I guess I can put up with it and just imagine its not a clunk per se, more that the car is simply saying "Komplett"
Re: Is this normal ;-)
Sounds exactly like mine. You need to dial down your paranoia slightly or you're not going to survive RS6 ownership.

I'm slowly getting there with everyone's help. I actually leaned on it properly for the 1st time since I bought it last year. Quietly brutal.

Re: Is this normal ;-)
The first time you floor it after taking it out the garage after winter I always wince expecting a problem 
Last year I blew the oil cooler, swapped failed suspension and blew a water line under the manifold so it got to the every drive I was expecting something and didn’t like leaving it running on the drive incase something else went wrong
let’s hope I ironed out those issues and can enjoy it this year
