Thinking of purchasing RS6 - circa 03/04 model

Post by kwack » Tue Jan 20, 2009 10:22 am

Hi All,

I am on the lookout for a RS6 Avant round about 03/04 model. Apart from a FSH, checking bodywork etc, are there any specific things I should be looking for when viewing these cars.

How do the gearboxes, clutches etc take the strain or are they bombproof

Any advice would be appreciated

I would say the gearbox is a weak link on the "6", make sure you check it properly and get a good warranty when you do purchase.

Spend enough time on this forum and youll find all of the technical information you need and more, including a rather nice Avus RS6 Avant for sale in classifieds (Sorry for the shameless plug).

Seriously though, the guys that post on this site are really helpful and knowledgeable.

Hope you find what you are looking for.
