Out with the old and in with #4 rs6

[DHall1]

The RS6 sanctuary grows by one this week. Need to edit my sig

I sold my last Supra turbo this weekend....owned it 20 years.

And just added #4 RS6 tonite.

My doc must have changed my RX.

[MaxRS6]

The Supra has left the house! Didn't see that coming

Congrats on #4....and the new meds!

[DHall1]

Forum member recently moved to Tucson and the oil coolant pipe decided to let go. After delibrations......and the dealer voicing potential engine pull labor rates. The decision was made to trade in the car for a newer more reliable car. $12000 spent in maint over the last year played a role in deliberations for sure. Colin waited for me to drive down yesterday and hand him the trade value for the car.

We can save this one for sure and a big thanks to Colin. Car is far too nice to let the dealer have it.



So there ya go. #4 is in the house

[LaserSVT]

Damn. That's a serious love for these things.

[bethridg]

That looks like BuffaloRS6's old car. If so, it had a nice list of mods.

[Bigglezworth]

The new record holder! A couple of members have owned 3 at a time, but 4 at one time?? yowza. lol

[lswing]

As if we didn't know...someone please get this man his medication. I hope you were sane enough not to get that dumpy Merc...

[Aronis]

That supra looks great!

You may have a problem, by the way.....4 13 year old money pit cars......Oh........you better get that A4.....

JK..

Mmmm.

7MGTE was one of my first DIY teardowns.

Blown head gasket.

[4everRS]

Dave, I think you may have made a decent hedge fund manager. Try to buy up the entire inventory to control the market....

[ttboost]

Glutton for punishment they said...Supra looks minty...had a White 88 myself, a little before my 94.

[Turbowned]

Beautiful MKIII; friend of mine has a white Cali-owned Turbo in his garage awaiting a 1JZGTE swap if he ever gets off his ass and does it. 'Nuther friend of mine just picked up a MKIV TT this past week!

[Bigglezworth]

I had a mint 86 with an 89 motor swap. It was a fun little ride.

[Bigglezworth]

Let's see a pic with all 4 in it. Many cities can't get 4 owners together at once. One person doing it solo is remarkable (with a dash of crazy...) lol

[BuffaloRS6]

That looks like BuffaloRS6's old car. If so, it had a nice list of mods.

Yes I believe that's my old car. Damn, what happened?? Oil coolant pipe went?

[VAG]

I wish I had 4 RS6's I'm stuck with only one :looking:

[DHall1]

If JP Morgan can do it with oil...I can do it with RS6s


Dave, I think you may have made a decent hedge fund manager. Try to buy up the entire inventory to control the market....

[DHall1]

370 to the wheels back in the day.

Original driveline, factory paint, 70k miles, bolt ons HKS stuff and custom fuel system.

And I had a true wide band A/F gauge from day one of the build.

Oh yeah, I had a 94tt as well. My favorite until the first RS6



Glutton for punishment they said...Supra looks minty...had a White 88 myself, a little before my 94.

[DHall1]

Yes, it is Buffalo's old car.

And yes a nice list of mods.

I've got number 5 for you in Park City, UT....Thing 2 ....she is sitting and waiting in a garage....I'm thinking RS6 Avant donor....Wag's....new turbos...Eurocharged....she needs a good home!!

[Cmnair]

Congrats Dave! They should do an RS article on you and your fleet. :)

[EINHORN]

^Psychology Today, new DSM code for this I think.

[DHall1]

Each time I add an RS6 my cost average per unit goes down.

My fuzzy logic.

[4everRS]

Lol. Dollar cost averaging rs6's. Omg

[cgc154]

Thanks again, Dave! As much as I hate to see her go, I'm glad it's going to someone who loves and knows these cars in and out. I nearly cried driving it home from the dealership knowing it was the last drive but in the 6+ months I owned it, I put 11k+ miles on it and loved every one . A bonus: Dave lives an hour an hour away so hopefully I'll get to aid in the repair and (maybe) get to rip it around again!

[DHall1]

The 6 million dollar RS6 project

Hi Colin....that is a promise. You can stop by anytime.

[s8prtotype]

back in 03' you'd have 400k in your driveway lol

[Dmb408]

Well Dave is the new one still on DRC? Because remember you're my go to guy for replacement DRC parts.

[DHall1]

Kwv3

But i still have a ton of drc stuff including those shocks

[DHall1]

Home sweet home with the rest of the siblings

[EINHORN]

Specialty dealer plates necessary at this point.

[spoolinrs6]

congrats! i remember when i had 4 s4s at one time lol

[papadoc]

Awesome! And given what I had to go through to add a second beast into the household, your spouse must be a saint!

[DHall1]

Its a good thing I sold my Supra the week before. And for top dollar.

It also helps that my other two RS6s have been reliable as a Prius with no big ticket repairs.

I also have pending approval to build my RS6 avant. We know where those parts are coming from.

[jtmdmd1]

Check this one out for #5 or parts

http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/ctd/5426054113.html

[hahnmgh63]

Doesn't look like a 250K car. Engine has 75K. Interior looks pretty good. If I would have seen this a week ago I would have picked it up.

[jtmdmd1]

It seems like I spend that much per year for maintenance & repairs on mine & I still have a CEL on:( It sounds like everything major has been done on this car & it has new tires.

[Bigglezworth]

Car looks pretty clean indeed. Might in fact be the record holder for most mileage on a chassis. The one I had here was just shy of 250K.

[ttboost]

Actually does look pretty clean for the miles. Of course they conveniently never show the drivers seat bolster, which doesn't appear to be destroyed, but still...of all the pictures you SHOULD have...

There is always Shokan for a replacement seat though of lower mile vintage. But I agree, show me the bolsters!

[DHall1]

Cleans up nice

[Bigglezworth]

It should. Only needsi a simple coolant pipe. :)

[nene]

Congrats on the new addition to the family.
It is just too bad you live far away. I'd always be happy to land a hand on any DIY RS projects.

[DHall1]

The valve cover gaskets are leaking too.

:addict:

Well after the proper diagnosis at my house. We are fixing the real problem

[DHall1]

Stupid pump

Its the second time

I will do VC and suction jet pump this time around.

[Bigglezworth]

Which car # is this?

[DHall1]

#4

The new one. It was not the Bufkin....I should have checked the car out myself.

It would have been done today. Now I have to reorder parts.

At 111k it was the second pump. We could see each step from the prev grease monkey as we followed the zip ties and screw clamps. Kinda comical really.

The Intake was a rats nest of lines to remove but Audi wanted to charge the prev owner 12+hrs of labor at $140hr.

A joke...we were there In 2hrs putzing around. Mind you, this was the same Audi dealer that used a Wix filter and non-505.01 oil on his last oil change. Idiots

[4everRS]

What the hell causes this?

How much time do you have in it?

[DHall1]

Kyle

Did you miss the part when i said 2hrs? We have been texting you all weekend. You missed all the fun.

As for the pump. Stupid design and coolant leaks past the shaft into the electronics side and shorts it out. Then it gets worse and spills into the valley.

[Erik]

Nice Supra, used to own a White. Wonder if it's still alive - guess not.

Time for a change for me as well. Stay tuned.

Yup, missed the 2 hrs. Looks like I had some text messaging issues.

I vividly remember another member having a very hard time with this project. Glad to hear it's not really terrible....

[DHall1]

Make no mistake, this diy repair is not for everyone.

Pay attention at every step.

Is this / other DIY stuff covered in the Bentley Manual? After the 5th or 6th project where I opened it and it said something along these lines:
"Adapt A6 repair procedure as needed."
I pretty well gave up on it...

O_E

[DHall1]

Why would anyone use the Bentley?

I dont even know where mine is

Lol

[nene]

I don't believe I included the secondary pump on my 70K maintenance schedule. Maybe I should have just because of age.

[Other_Erik]

Lol

I'm not working on mine everyday, and don't have a decade of experience tinkering with it. I appreciate the insight you bring to the community, and know I need a lot more practice.

Lucky you I guess?

This is easier than doing the Bufkin pipe, so maybe you lucked out for now.

If i were you, I'd cross my fingers and wait until you do the timing belt to replace the Bufkin pipe.

[DHall1]

Yeah just a bit more parts cost.

After run pump may have to come from Germany. Yeeks

Timing belt just done on #4 so i will roll with a top end refresh and see how she goes.

I have hardly put the wrenches to mine.

Never had the intake off for any reason on any of them.

Still just took 2hrs and that was just taking it easy.

Never opened the Bentley. Dont even know where it is.

Aux water pump can be a pain to pin point too. I used a q tip taped on a hanger and it came out pink. Coolant would drip through the valley right and splash off transmission housing. Rats nest had me concerned, even after doing same repair on my wife's c5 2.7, took to a local indy shop that also replaced the suction jet pump. ....$1,400 later

[DHall1]

That is a fair indy repair bill.

We just stuck the mini led maglite down between the runners and could see the red puddle.

[Bigglezworth]

I found that the R&R of the intake manifold to swap out the SJP was a nominal 6-7 hours total and that included cleaning of other areas while I had things all apart. Even though I had my intake off to address the SJP, I didn't elect to do the ARP. Fingers crossed it holds out well for some time.

[DHall1]

ARP
Intake gaskets
SJP
VC gaskets
Injector o rings

[SteveKen]

Yeah just a bit more parts cost.

In my research, I found out that the ARP from the UrS4 is the same.

My engine was from a UK car, which didn't have any coolant afterrun functionality. Think I've got 1 or 2 of them on the shelf still. It not worth going used in this location, though, since it' so hard to get to to replace.

[DHall1]

The beast is alive!!! Had to wait for the last ARP in the US to get shipped to AZ.

ARP is now working like a charm.

Final top off and front bumper later this week. Boy that intake is a real pisser to get back on.

It looks like #4 is fixed. I can believe how far these cars have dropped in value but hopefully I have saved another one from the grasps of the death spiral.

That's it guys! I cant save any more.

Papadoc's engine is going to save another forum member in Oregon as soon as I can get it pulled and compression tested. Then I will have 3 and a parts car.

No more! I want to buy that CL63. LOL

[RSSIK]

is the parts car for you or parts up for grabs?

[hahnmgh63]

Part number 078121601B which also shows for the RS6. Same part? Probably. Pay for the RS6 part price or pay for the old RS6 part number, $148 from Genuine. I'll let you know, just ordered one.

Well, when I put the car on the transport to Arizona, rather than the crusher, I thought of it like an organ donor. Didn't know if it would ever come back to life, but knew there were a lot of good parts that would give joy to others. Happy to see that this was the right call!

Thanks, I'm using vagpart and jimellisaudiparts to do some research. Both places say this is the ARP for A6, Allroad, and S6, but part is not listed for RS6. May be lower pressure/output version of the same pump? Wouldn't know until the engine heatsoaks after a hard drive on a hot day...

That said, thanks for being the guinea pig! I can't find the RS6-listed part for less than $340, and even that involves waiting for international shipping from a parts supplier in Germany...

O_E

[DHall1]

I pay less over the counter with no shipping or tax.

Considering the work involved....i would only use the RS6 pn

Man I love those wheels...

[DHall1]

All you have to do is buy another RS6.

300 plus miles of pure driving pleasure later and not one drop of coolant. Now on to paint correction, general cleaning of under side, adjust exhaust fitment, new switches for the interior, clear bra and windshield tear off and finally a wheel refinish.


Man I love those wheels...

[ttboost]

Actually cheaper just to buy the wheels...stick them on the wall in my garage...:hihi:. They are very similar to the TSW Interlagos I just bought for the V. Mine are black because, you know...the black out thing...

[Cmnair]

Are those Sportec wheels?

So glad to see she's up and running again! I definitely miss driving that beast. Was a total blast and probably the best car I've ever owned. I only wish Colin got to properly enjoy being an RS6 owner like I did. What are your plans for it?

[DHall1]

Thanks,

She was too nice to let it go to the stealer! Its a strong runner for sure.

My #2 will join #1 in the garage as both are low mileage mint SoCal vehicles with original paint. I will bring your car up to date with some new trim and a full detail. Fix a few nit pick items. Then clear bra the crap out of it. My new daily driver when I'm not driving my company Duramax truck.

I actually enjoy driving my 13yr old RS6s over driving the new SQ5. SQ5 has a few quirks like brake pedal feel and it just feels cheap.
