Prospective ownership questions?

So apart from the oil seal & coolant pipes is there anything else to look out for? Will take a torch and look underneath it for any oil leaks.

Those two are the more specific "RS6" issues, other than those the cars are mainly 10+ years old now so they're getting more generic issues like bushes, hoses etc which are getting old and perishing/cracking so take a very good look underneath the engine bay, around the Gearbox and around the suspension for any DRC leaks.

If you have the ability I'd also take an OBD/VCDS reader if you can just to scan for any fault codes too.

Well the dealer I went to see had a ramp so if I go again I'd definitely ask for the car to be lifted and for the undertray to be removed, often the forget to clean these so if there is a leak it should be spotted.

I have an OBDII reader which I can borrow. I think I have the one only concern is the history is a copy/duplicate as the original was lost at some point in the past but the printout from Audi is fairly comprehensive

Ian, I've seen a few of your posts with very helpful and comprehensive C6 documents hosted on your website, do you have a link to where they all are by any chance so I may grab a copy?

They are just little snippets taken from the Elsawin manual, you might be able to get a copy on Ebay/Torrent etc but it's a fair old size!
