Hello, A belated Happy New Year to everyone, I'm about to back again to the forum very soon (hopefully) after almost 4 years away from the beast. I'm about to buy 2010 Audi RS6 C6 but I was wondering if there is anything that I have to check or worry about it similar to the issues we had with the C5 (i.e. suspension, tranny..etc). I was also wondering if it is easy to get cheaper parts online for the C6 like we used to do with the C5 (i.e. EBC brake pads, rotors..etc). The car is stock so also wondering if any good reasonable chip tuning can be done as stage 1 without any hard mods.
Thanks and hope to back soon again, miss you all guys and the forum here :)

I think you'll get a better response from rs246.com - since most members here are US-based and will not have first hand knowledge of any issues or tunes.

Happy New Year!
Simple answer. Buy it
Yep, you can read up on owners at rs246.com.....or just give grizz a call in the UK.

beautiful beast :), which dealer did you get it from? looks like one in Al Quoz i know.... does it have any extended warranty?
vangelis
January 11th, 2014, 18:38
Thanks bro ... Yes i guess the same ... no warranty but I'm trying to see if any chance to get extended one. It has Ali & Sons FSH.

January 11th, 2014, 18:58
it's a bit tricky with the extended warranty because the best one would be GAP provided by A&S but if the factory warranty has expired or the car has passed the 100k km they will no longer sell you the extended one, it was if i remember well about 6-7k/year and only for 20k km, no open mileage.
Either way, it is one heck of a car and this color combo is one of the best, congrats and enjoy it!
P.S. - don't forget to take us for a ride :D

We have the wallowing S8 and RS7 for the rich old farts.
Good in a straight line

For some reason, I adore this RS6 C6 shape more than C5 and C7 and RS7! maybe its just me but I do! :)

i know,i guess the 2014 S6 is the best we can do here. Dont get me wrong still no a bad car, just isn't an RS6 lol

i spent quite a bit of seat time over 5 years I a D2 S8. Great balance between luxury and sport. No Wallow there. But maybe the new ones....?
