I inquired into this 7 years ago!

I was told the suspension would not hold up to the weight of even a small trailer.

After 7 years I know that the DRC will not hold up to a trailer.

Yes, true.

Audi says in the Technical book specifically no towing. Now that doesn't mean it can' tbe done, enough power & brakes yes, but if anything ever happened watch some lawyer hold it against you.

Wouldn't be lengthening the life of the TC now would it.

the oz spec cars have had no TC issues (mine is an 04 build date) that i am aware of, my car has been running over 500hp for the past 5 years no issues at all, i've had 2 tranny flushes car had done 35,000 miles

but i does seems like i'll have to put it in the two hard basekt , as no-one in oz will do it, as the car here does not have a tow rating?

thanks everyone johnnie

I've had a tow hitch on my D2 A8 for years and that was an aluminum car. If the allroad with that whimpy trans can tow then the RS6 can do it too.

For bike towing, sans motors though.

This is what I was talking about. Couldn't remember who had done it!

There she be!

O/T: I just checked the CA DMV to see if "FYYFF" was available, "Sorry, The plate you have requested is not available." I can't remember what movie that was from... anyone?

[JSRS6]

Goodfellas.

I don't know about movies, but I thought "FYYFF" was a military acronym (like "FUBAR" and "SNAFU") that had been adopted by touring motorcycle enthusiasts.

What I meant was blue velvet.
