I just bought this RS6 today. I have been searching for 4 months and have been lurking on this form for even longer. It is actually in pretty good shape especially for the price. I bastered the power steering fluid out and did the lock to lock 3 times. I replaced it due to some noises coming from it now it is smooth as butter. I topped off the engine coolant (there was actually Audi dealer coolant in trunk in the side pocket along with transmission fluid and oil.) Not sure if that is a good sign or bad sign. I had the dealer park it last night up in a clean concrete corner so when I picked it up this morning if there was any leaks it would have shown. It is in desperate need of an alignment! Any recomendations on a shop that can do that in the dfw area would be great! It also needs a good balance. Got a little shaky when I pushed it. There is a list of cosmetic interior items I want to address but really it is all cosmetic. The exterior is clean and straight. I am looking forward to washing it thouroughly, clay barring it and waxing it. Glad to finally be an owner of a RS6. Hopefully this one will treat my wallet kindly!
I live in Trophy Club/SouthLake area. I see your from Ft. Worth what part?
Congrats & Welcome Aboard the Crazy Train.
Texas Track Works can do you right on the alignment.

I live close to TCU. Istook's in Fort Worth does a lot of work on Audi's. He actually races a TTRS professionally. Zinks Autohaus works on Audi also. Steve Zink is the owner. I met him at Texas Track Works. Those are all good places to start. You might check out Lone Star Audi Club. It's a good way to meet other Audi owners in this area and they put on events every now and then. Two weeks ago they had a event at Motorsport Ranch in Cresson where all of the Audi owners got to drive their cars on the track.

good thing someone bought it and saved it, as far as i can tell from the pictures the car does look to be in a pretty good condition, for tha money you bought it you can spend some on maintenance but at the end of the day you've still got a good deal i'd say...after i bought the second RS6 within the first two months i had already spent about 3k$...almost 1k$ it was the RNS-E , once you've had it is hard to live without.

Now :2009 Audi RS6 C6 - stock yet pretty fast
Thanks for the info! Hopefully I can get it set up early next week.
Anybody have any suggestions on things I should look to address first as far as preventitive maintenance?
The timing belt had no record of ever being done. I was able to look at the belt and it looked like it was in pretty good condition.
I flushed the powering steering fluid, I would like to flush the transmission fluid, engine oil, coolant, brakes, and front and rear diff. nasically all fluids in the car.
Is that a good idea or bad idea?
The 3rd to 4th shift is alittle jumpy I have noticed. Not sure if swapping the fluid out will help or not.
I have been out to Cresson once got to take an LP560 around the track it was an awesome experience. Would love to take the Audi out there once I know it isnt going to fall apart on me.
I am in love with the car though. It sounds great it feels great and I am having a hard time not putting the pedal down.
if you have no record of the timing belt that's the first thing you should do, you don't want to take that risk because if it fails it will destroy the engine so it doesn't worth not spending the extra money to have it done. And then all that you've mentioned above.

Zink is great with the RS6, he knows it well. He is a former Audi Specialist. Did my timing belt for a great price.
Unfortunately his shop burned down. Not sure where he is going with the business......
Welcome to the Club! I am in Las Colinas, frequent the SL, TC area.

2003 RS6 TOTALED.-----Searching for a replacement
Took the car over to Texas Track Works today. Highly recommend them to anyone nice guys. They took the time to point out something's I knew and didn't already know. The front and rear rotors need to be replaced. Anyone know of a good aftermarket/oem place to purchase those from?
what I didn't know was both cv boots are torn and leaking very slowly.
those look rather inexpensive to replace or rebuild that is.
