2014- RS6

[Am89]

Looking to get into an RS6 this year. Seen a nice grey one with 30k miles. Initially wanted an RS6 performance but not sure it’s worth the extra money.

I understand some come with steel susp and others air susp. What’s the pros and cons of both and which is more reliable?

Also I’ll be going down the stage 2 route with an uprated exh and mapping. Who’s the preferred tuner?

How are 6’s for reliability and anything I should be looking out for in particular?

The PE is worth the extra money IMO - had both - though your thread title 2014 - think you might struggle with budget to get into a PE
If you can stretch to a 2015 facelift, then I would - as matrix lights, double glazing on front windows, other minor changes too.
DRC has failed on a number of older cars, mixed opinions as to both. If DRC fails out of warranty, it's £1500/corner. Mine went. PE had std air, I couldn't tell difference tbh
MRC for tuning - period
Found both mine to be bullet proof other than the DRC failing on my 2015 car.
Look for a FASH when buying. Anything you buy thats mapped already and advertised as being in warranty, ignore as it will throw up a TD1 code.
Tyres last. depending on how you drive it 18-20k miles
Front discs and pads, around 25kmiles - circa £1200 per front set and £800 rears.
Fuel consumption between 18 and 24 day to day. Managed 34mpg on a run in my PE.

One of the best all round day to day cars you will find.

Enjoy and Happy New Year!!!

For me personally pre or facelift cars has no difference, only some minimum changes in exterior and interior, same power same engine, talking about performance version it has a little more power but also same engine, just marketing. I own 2014 rs6, I bought it used in 2016 summer with 51.000km on a clock, with stock engine so far no big problems, one time I got lambda sensor failed and tpms sensor one failed, total spent 1000 eur. So far everything else ok, I am at 130.000km

Most important that you should buy used car from Audi dealer, I bought at Audi dealer in Germany with Audi approved program with 101 point check, I always change oil after 15.000km at official Audi dealers, doing maintenance as usually and love car. Don’t know how long I will own it but so far loving it with Miltek none resonated exhaust) (been with Miltek from 2016 autumn, been problems with one exhaust flap, but wd40 solves issues)
