Anyone know any info on this rs6 c6?

I bought a different fixer-upper earlier this year, and that was after I did an OBD2 scan of all the faults. It was declared spares repairs because of a misfire, which I fixed easily. However I since found lots of other hidden faults, some of them not obvious or readily apparent, but quite shocking. It took the shine off the bargain, and for a damage repair car, I think there would be much more scope for hidden problems. The real problems won't simply be lights, leaks, noises etc.

CHEERS NICK. MIND ME ASKING WHAT WAS THE CAUSE OF MISFIRE?

The V12 TT engine is pretty robust, apart from a charge cooling system designed by monkeys, and an expensive pair of chocolate teapot coil packs. The coils are prone to overheating, and bad plugs make it worse. I located the bad coils with diagnostics, and removed and replaced them with my stock of good spares. It's not an easy job and only a few people do it.
The engine oil cooler was also leaking, and someone had fitted US-spec front discs to UK calipers, and they're not compatible. They have different diameter and different offset, so the pads weren't sitting right and the outboard pistons were about to come out of the calipers. Its really scary what some people do to cars.

Agreed... great that you did it yourself which always adds to (personal) satisfaction levels.

Does anyone here have any info on this rs6
Or know who the previous owner was?

Thinking about buying it

It looks like this is what became of that cat C car:

The registration is new, and it was MoT'd in April last year after a three year gap, but is now SORN and looks like yet another optimistic buyer has given up on it.
