How many actual C6 owners ?

Post by Condor24 » Wed Jun 03, 2009 9:45 pm

Just intrigued as to how many actual owners of C6 V10 post notes here, and whether they're pleased with their cars or disappointed ....

The pain of getting hold of the car was well worth it, a big tick from me!

7,800 miles on mine so far, already had to have front left shock replaced and Audi's service was not nearly as impressive as the car itself :/

Damn, I was hoping to buy yours off you but next month is far too soon. What's next Jon?

12K so far -just like the previous model -very usable-just need a Miltek now
You can fill it up with everything and then drive like Miss Daisy or Mr Hyde,very smooth,tried an R8 V10 at Silverstone recently ,very impressive but where do you put the things you have to carry during a normal day

Took delivery March;
- blew water pipe after 2 weeks
- suffered a "dash pod thermal incident" 2 weeks ago.

Guess the reliability hasn't been great for me but thouroughly enjoying the driving experience.

I see people are talking of a stage 1 remap. Am interested in this but with my problems to date am worried about the warranty implications..? Any thoughts on this?

Off topic slightly.....

I'm curious on the water pipe (assume coolant), where was it? My wife had the unpleasurable experience of driving the car end a coolant pipe failed (between the V under the manifold)....I'm wondering whether there is a theme.

Yes coolant. A small half inch diameter, 5 inch long pipe located at the back of the engine, in the v between the bulkhead and the engine.

The give away fro me was when I got it to the garage the mechanic didn't even pause but dove right to where it was (it wasn't obvious). I actually mused to him that it must have been a common fault... his spouted some rehersed legal words at me but then said "but you can see how quickly I found the problem"
