During the last year we've been to Germany a lot and it makes a huge amount more sense on the autobahns. Now we're not doing that and driving with it around the UK where you can only use its power...

It was £88k new. So I look on it as costing me a little over £1.50 a mile which to me doesn't make it sound as painful!

Quick update - it sold in the end for £56k which I was satisfied with given the mileage in comparison to others on sale at the moment. A broker bought it in the end. Initially I was offered £47k by...

I haven't had the noise now for about 12 000 miles and even then it was only when it was cold or very wet.

And having done 295 kph last week in Germany and needing to stop really rather suddenly...

Hi

This happened with my ceramics when I first had them. It was particularly bad in the cold or wet. It hasn't happened for a while now so it may just be linked to them being new. My dealer...

Hi,

Hope no-one minds but I'd like to mention that my RS6 is for sale. It's the only used RS6 with ceramic brakes for sale in the UK at the moment, as far as I can tell.

The web address below...

Has anybody else had shuddering brakes during cold weather? The dealership seemed pretty uninformed about it all with no strong advice either way.

Hi,

Has anyone else with ceramic brakes noticed that for the first 5 mins of driving (when it's cold especially) that they're shuddering whenever they're used? They also feel about 30-40% as...

The Sottozero are Pirellis and they have been worse than useless - needing a number of phonecalls and then not being able to supply them after all!

I'm going with Dunlop WinterSport 3d's - these...

Great - thanks for that. What's caused problems is not that winter tyres to fit the new RS6 don't exist, because they do. The problem has been suppliers not sending them to the UK because of lack...

Hi,

They're nothing fancy but I thought you'd like to see them

Thanks so far. Yep - the ceramics just add to the problem as I can't fit smaller wheels.

I spoke to my local Audi dealership and they can't help. They don't even deal with Pirelli (who as far as...

Hi,

:snow:

Having decided that we should get winter tyres for the Christmas / New Year family visit (and ski trip) it looks like the only ones that will fit are Pirelli Sottozero...but...I...

Hi,

We're going to Germany to see the in-laws for Christmas and then going skiing afterwards. I'm trying to find out what we'll need in the way of winter tyres/snow chains. I've seen reliable...

I'd like some opinions please.

Should I keep my RS6 order or drop it in favour of an A6 (or maybe new A4) for being practical and an Exige S for hooning around in?

Of relevance is that we've...

I was told June and then got a letter stating delivery in January '09. If you add the 6-8 weeks delay I've been told to add if going for ceramic brakes then it's "Hello March" if not later.

I...

My thought exactly.

Well when I initially went to talk to Audi they were saying May. I genuinely don't mind how long it takes but what's been irritating a lot has been how dates given (for the brochure, for the...

Yes, I've been told Jan 09, which given how all the other "deadlines" have slipppppppppped I would reckon means March (or at least Spring) 09. To be honest, I'm starting to look at other makes. I'm...

Hi

Just got a letter from Audi UK saying my estimated delivery date will be January 2009! I placed my deposit in October last 2007.

Given that the letter took a whole week to get here (a...

I agree completely.

I had a letter from Audi today advertising an RS6 vid which will be on:


www.audi.co.uk/audi/uk/en2/new_cars/a6/RS_6_Avant.html


from 10th April - thought I'd let you know.

More delays....

It all seems a long way from the "May" they were originally quoting.

Shame that.

[quote=StanYau;126162]I paid my deposit in Sep 07. I had a letter confirming delivery in Jul/Aug 08, but have been told by Audi UK that this will be extended by 6-8 weeks due to the addition of...
