Hi

I am looking for an RS6 Avant to get some more room (and power)

What should I look out for - I know this is a fairly new car, but are there any common problems which should be avoided?

Many thanks

Mik

Hi Mik,

Main things to look out for on these cars are serviceable items like; discs, cambelt (every 40k) & tyres (esp. on the 19" rims). For example discs and pads at the front alone will be around £750, the cambelt around £1300 and tyres range upwards of £800 for a full set. Most cars will still be under Audi warranty, so the work will need to be done by a dealer.

Damn expensive cars, as I read that they can eat front discs in as little as 15k miles or even less!

Thanks Nige. Sounds promising Have been looking at cars with about 30-35k miles, seems it might make sense to look for a cars which has already had the cambelt done.
