RS246.com Forum :: The World's #1 Audi R, S and RS Enthusiast Community

Hi all,

I've created a bunch of basic servicing procedures (or workshop guides) from the Audi Techs manual. I'll add a few more to this thread as I create them (spark plugs etc).

They're all in PDF form and *only* the procedures are included, there are no part numbers included for the bits that need replacing. This is to prevent people buying the wrong parts if the part number changes in future.

For Part Numbers I'd use ETKA Online (free) but there are other websites out there.

Kudos to you Sir

Ian you are a *

Thanks for that Ian!

Which oil is recommended? Brand and spec?

I always used Shell Helix in my B5 and everyone that heard it said it was on of the nicest sounding 2.7 engines they'd heard. Thinking of using the same in the C6

I have used quantum seems to be fine good quality oil and its cheap !

This should be a Sticky! something that should have been done ages ago! thanks Ian!

Sticky!

Plus... I love your front page! You are now a legend!

Glad to help!

My Website - Someone with less morals than myself suggested removing the "Identity confusion" text and instead putting a "9/11 find the truth" donation link on the page just to see if I could make a bit of cash from those looking for my namesake.

I even got an e-mail last month sent to my admin account from the tour company he used in '09 whilst he was promoting his book asking I was thinking about touring again. I was so tempted to sign up for a 1 man show

You have to do it! That's a great idea!

Just read your site too... thats hillarious, i didnt even know or think to link your shared name until you pointed it out!

Do you have to use an extractor to remove the old oil?

The extractor is used to suck out the reamining in the oil can in the engine bay. Approx. 1-1,5L.

Later RS6's also have a drain plug for the chaindrive at the rear of the engine, additional 1,5L of oil can be drained here.

Great pdf's! Thanks!

Can you change the oil without an extractor. Remove the drainplugs, drain the oil and refill? Just want to do an interim oil change between services. I've always changed my oil every six months.

Yes, you can, but you will be leaving 1L of oil that you could have changed out by buying a really cheap, manually suction pump

I'll buy a little pump, just a bit wary of sticking any thing in the sump! Its only an interim oil change, the car will be going to Unit20 in May or August for a service anyway. Just like to do the oil every 2-3k miles
