I have a 3 month old RS6 PE, just over 4600 miles and when I go above 60mph I feel considerable vibration through the steering wheel
door handle and the side of the pedals.

It goes away below 60 or if its there it's very slight and almost unnoticeable. At first I thought it was puncture as it felt a bit like it was running on a rim but no puncture.

No warning lights on the dash.

It's going to the dealer Tuesday, anyone had this problem before/ID what it is

Sounds like your wheels need balancing. Not unheard of to have buckled wheels on these.

Thanks Mike, does that actually need the main dealer? Could I take it to my local independent (reputable) tyre company for that?

Any tyre Shop can put your wheels on their balancing machine and tell you if they need balancing, perhaps you've just lost some of the stick on balancing weights. Or they should be able to see if the wheel is buckled. Not so common on the PE wheels but very common on the normal 21s.

I had a similar issue on my C6, when had wheels re-balanced end of vibrations

An easy temporary fix could be to swap front and rear wheels. Unless of course you have a number of buckled or unbalanced wheels.
