RS6 V10 1 year ownership 130k miles

Post by rs6danbar » Thu Sep 15, 2016 3:49 pm

Bought my 6 september 2015.

Thoughts so far, Amazing car will probably never sell it, absolutly love it.

Problems so far, Engine drop twice, new gear box, new turbos + gearbox oil leak, DRC failure twice, Adaptive headlights failures, breakpad sensors acting werid and now one of my cooling fans are making a very bad noise, Sounds like a WW2 messerschmitt once starts going :boohoo:
Car has 130k on the clock but seeing RS6's with 220k on the clocks being sold in Germany makes me want to drive this one for another 100k or so :)

Mate that's really bad luck and I thought I'd had a bad pass on mine.

Have you Vagcom'd it for any faults?

Once when airbaglight came on (sporadic) was a few ghost codes but not much more than that :audibash:

Hi, mine has similar higher Kms. I have not owned it long enough to have experienced any issues yet to offer any comment.

May I ask in your past experience what faults/indication/feedback etc did you get when both the DRC and Adaptive Headlight issues occurred? Dash light etc?
- excuse my ignorance and thanks in advance.

So far also LOVING the C6, rather thirsty in local Sydney traffic would be my only criticism thus far.

Regards,
Adam

When the gearbox broke the gear indicators lit up and didnt go in neither drive or reverse.
DRC failure was just 2 preassure hoses located in just inside behind the rear wheel, no light came up car felt swampy.
Headlight issue come and go, not bothering me much, still passes MOT.
Turbos started pouring blue/white smoke on start up.

Yeah they're thirsty, biggest issue right now here in Sweden is the extremly high rate of those being stolen right now.

Mine has just clocked up 121k miles, had to do the oil pump just before christmas but otherwise its been pretty good, got a boost solenoid issue flagging up on fault codes but TPS want the part number before quoting so a bit more hunting to do.

Thats mega mileage on those 2, testament to how strong the engine is though!

I'm suffering DRC failure but have yet to investigate it, i thought it was the strut, but from reading a few stories of it being just the pipe im hopeing its just that.
I'll have to get onto it this weekend and take a good look.

Mines on around 84k so only a baby really, but i service her every 4k miles and it has regular plug changes as well as fuel filter etc...
