The recession may be over technically, but high performance driver's ed is in the doldrums. The silver lining: Since drivers are needed at the Audi club's Dec 4-6 event at Daytona, FL, single day...
Definitely flush out the old PS fluid. Old threads here will show that it gets hot and forms bubbles that come out only when the fluid is flushed out. Replacing fluid works until the bubbles appear...
This came in an email forwarded by a friend and was a surprise to me. Not sure if it would be as bad with AWD, but does AWD really help prevent hydroplaning?...
3audis, did you find out if the 75K service already was done? Some sellers do that to make the vehicle more marketable. I know I said it's "possible (likely?)" that it wasn't done, but you never...
3audis, 75K mi is one of the threshholds recommended for the tune-up that requires timing belt replacement. Since the car you're looking at has 74K mi, it's possible (likely?) that the 75K tune has...
Bad install makes sense. The fact that some US dealers know what they're doing with DRC repairs, and some don't, was a frequent topic for several years at audiworld's RS 6 forum before it went...
Someone wrote long ago that replacing the starter requires engine removal, so you might want to check the starter to be sure it's OK.
I've been out of the Michigan Audi loop since last November, but I'd say my experience servicing three cars over 10 years at Audi of Rochester Hills (and its predecessor) was generally good. My...
It's been about five years so I don't recall all the details. After multiple ECU failures, they discovered the wiring harness was shorting out the ECUs if I recall correctly.
FYI my 09 G8 GT (361 hp, 385 tq stock) posted a 13.99 in the quarter. After adding a 93 octane tune and CAI for $700, time improved by half a second to 13.48. That's about where my RS 6 was at this...
Years ago my RS 6 suffered what I call "subpar performance," at times acting like it had 300 hp instead of 450. Dealer replaced ECU; was better for a while, then intermittent problem returned. ...
I still miss my blue beast sometimes but this thread makes me miss it less.
So it's over here now? What part of the US? Still owned by you? For sale? What's happening? You could have a blast at Daytona with that car, assuming vehicle id works out; see recent thread...
The Ohio Audi Club is putting on this second-ever driving school at Daytona International Speedway, the first being last December. A near-perfect venue for the RS6, I thought, due to Daytona's wide...
Garbi, I wonder if you know what you've gotten yourself into. The RS 6 is a front-heavy limited production sedan crowded with wires and programs, horsepower and AWD. Aftermarket choices are...
PS2s. On my third set.
Exactly! Trying to make the C5 RS 6 perform well on tight turns is like trying to pound a round peg into a square hole.
Still, with steeply banked turns that go on for 3000 feet, Daytona is a...
Randy was among the instructors at Daytona last December. At the Saturday night dinner he raved so much about this car, especially its torque, that I loaned him my hat with the RS6 logo until he...
I bought mine new in 2003 but decided not to track it for several years after reading numerous owner reports that it was not much fun. The C5 RS6 is not only heavy but very front-heavy compared to...
Many, maybe, but not all. In my search for an extension to my Pure Protection plan, I encountered HiRoad, which refers to Interstate National Dealer Services (INDS). Dealers say neither is related...
Nene, your opening post mentions Fidelity but not Pure Protection. Fidelity is the administrator for the Pure Protection plan I bought from my Audi dealer, but recently I discovered they offer their...
The labor is not broken down for each of the brake things I did, but here's the price list for my brake mod parts (all in USD):
$$$ Item
405 Set of Pagid RS-4 2 Blue pads, front only
50 ...
Sorry this took so long but it's fairly simple to pass on: The Audi dealer tech used this thread as his guide for the parts and installation of the Phaeton brake ducts, and everything worked out...
