    Welcome! You should have timing belt maintenance due at 70k, very important to keep the engine from detonating.

    Here are some other things to look for around that mileage.

    Glad you made it over here from Audizine. Nothing against AZ, but the guys on this board know these cars inside and out. Post your last 5 of your vin, they keep a running list of RS's that are still on the road.

    Welcome! Time to lube up the wallet hole! Go over the maintenance records with a fine-toothed comb, and post up your VIN and some details here. Glad you found your way to Erik's little corner of the internet. Good luck with the beast!

    Oh, saw from your other intro post that you want to replace the radio - PM me your email address, I'll put you in touch with a good source for the RNS-E fullscreen navigation, it's a great upgrade from the factory symphony ii radio!

    Congrats on the RS6! I picked up mine w/ 53K last winter. I've been slowing modding and getting all maintenance up to where it needs to be. Been having a blast so far. Not a good financial investment though. A lot of money out for minimal resale value. Let's get all the Los Angeles area RS6's up to the Malibu canyons for a run sometime soon. I'm in Marina del Rey.

    Julian run is coming soon.

    I like the Malibu canyon area better.
