i measured today a 0-60 time of 4.9 seconds, is that normal for a RS6 avant.
Maybe if i do it multiple times it will go faster...
And the time which is in the RS6 specs is ofcourse with the most optimal circumstances and the best possible fuel perhaps...
And the accuracy of my timing can also different a couple od tenths of a second, because when do you exactly reach the 60.. thats difficult to measure witch such a quick accelaration...
0-60 time
RE: 0-60 time
Hmmm, are you doing this one-handed whilst holding a stopwatch?
No matter where you go, there you are.
RE: 0-60 time
How did you measure it? A stopwatch and speedo is not going to be very accurate...

RE: 0-60 time
Never done it, i've seen figures on paper but what should it be, in real life that is?

Use the vagcom to test your 0-60. It has a special feature exactly for that. I can't get 4.9 out of mine. Best I ever managed was about 5.3.

I've tried stopwatches, filming the speedo, vagcom and I have a gtech RR. The only method that gives consistent timing is the vagcom method. It'll do XX to YY speeds as well which is quite interezzsting.
Of course, you could always log the vehicle speed in advanced measuring blocks (using turbo mode to get better resolution).
Mavada, try to look after your turbos - they are expensive to replace. There is an engine off circulation pump that will keep coolant flowing through the turbos after you turn off (V51? can't remember offhand) but they can and do fail (silently) so it's best to let the turbos cool down before switching off. I don't like to turn my engine off before the oil temp comes back down to about 90°.
