C6 RS6 Study Guide - A Great Read!

Hi All,

I'd been searching for this for a while and now I've finally found a "good" copy and wanted to share it although, TBF,this has been out on the web for a while so some of you may already have it. The only place I could see it before asked you to register and seemed a little dodgy (wares/cracks site).

It's 40 odd pages and about 1Mb - http://www.ianhenshall.com/C6_RS6_Study_Guide.pdf

Cheers.

Ian

Good effort Ian and that's properly geek-tastic! Post that on a US forum and they'd be creaming their pants over the facts and figures.

No need for b8 one, they know it's more likely to produce more coke than Mexico and the DRC is still a problem.

The study guide was a brilliant read, thanks Ian.

I was searching for information on the ZF 6HP26 gearbox, and found a few useful resources that others might be interested in:

Functional description:
https://www.motor-talk.de/forum/aktion/ ... tId=762488

Parts list and diagram:
http://www.automaticchoice.es/Catalogo% ... f6hp26.pdf

ATSG service manual:
http://maybeme.com/Storage/JagTech/Manu ... %80%9D.pdf

Having rebuilt the broken autobox on my old Merc S600 and survived to tell the tale, I was curious what was involved with rebuilding or upgrading the 6HP. Auto boxes are a quadruple club sandwich of clutches, brakes and gearsets that can be dismantled in a few minutes. Rebuilding just needs some good circlip pliers and something to press the returns springs with. Like the utterly amazing 8HP, it only has five clutches & brakes, and rebuilding revolves around them.

I did read somewhere that the 6HP28 has a stronger input shaft. Could that be what some people have upgraded to?

I also noticed that the 6HP32 was used on a couple of high torque applications (as if V10 and W12 turbos weren't high torque!). It might have some parts to share, clutch packs for example?

I thought it was all good reading.

Really?! Lol I live in Nevada, United States. So much cream dude AMAZING!

My cls63 amg S-model comes stock with 535 wheel HP at 5000 "feet" elevation. This = almost a mile or in Uk terms 1.6 Km in the air.

My Aventador with the OE titanium exhaust pumps out over 800HP at sea level, we are not estranged to high HP boats...

I find your comment relatively discriminative...

We use miles here. Some of the younger generation have difficulties using imperial measures but we still use miles for distances and feet for height. Fuel comsumption is still mpg even though we have only been able to buy stuff in metric measures for years.

I would suggest that he's not talking specifically about HP figures, but more generally that the US culture (in comparison to the UK) really likes knowing general figures/statistics about a subject - for example all the sports stats with baseball, NFL, NHL etc - so he's suggesting that all the technical figures contained within the study guide would be more interesting for an American to read than someone from the UK - i.e. the US forum would be extremely happy to be able to read those technical figures vs this forum which would mostly find them only slightly exciting.
