Good evening all,
After 3 years off the road my daytona grey RS6 will hit the roads again this year, however I am after a transmission service kit, front suspension arm set a d anti roll bar bushes front and rear.
Any help or printers to get the right equipment really appreciated.
2003 RS6 avant.
Mr. Stage 1.

Cheers all.
Tony.

Re: Transmission service and suspension arms
Personally I would stick to proper Rs6 suspension arms.
Local garage fitted cheaper arms to mine (without me knowing) and I had all sorts of problems.
They kept telling me everything was ok. But I knew it wasn’t.
Eventually unit 20 sorted it. And local garage reimbursed me for three invoices.
Costs are higher for proper parts. But save yourself a lot of heartache.
Gearbox oil / filter info is in the FAQ section
Hope this helps.

My front lower rear suspension arms (does that make sense) are TRW and they were good, but I’d certainly avoid generic no name stuff as Steve notes.

Re: Transmission service and suspension arms
Echo any of the quality brands that are RS6 specific. A regular problem is A6 front lower arms being provided in lieu of the RS6 specific item. Upper arms seem to be the most wear prone and again the quality brands are necessary. I'm just about to trial SPC adjustable arms in the RS6. I already have them in the RS4 with no issues so for a few bob, going out on a limb and see what happens.
I did look at all the known other adjustable arms and only 034 is regularly available. Can't see the benefit of rose joints on the street and Stern are just not available anywhere so SPC were the only choice. The extra weight is the only area of difference between the 4 and the 6 but they have been completely invisible in the RS4.

Yeah, I’ve not had to change the front arm yet, but IIRC it has the TRW logo on the casting, bit like the OEM master cylinders are TRW. I’ll double check next time I have it on stands.
