Thanks for all your input but have now been told the RS6 is not on the registered list so even if LPG conversion is carried out it would still be subject to congestion charge:vgrumpy: .

Thanks for the link to the video, the S8 certainly seems to be able to hold its own. It has certainly put my mind at rest! The LPG system does not seem to have affected the performance....
Living in central London I am confronted with the congestion charge every day (£8 with the threat of £25 per day next year). Rather than trade in the beast I am considering an LPG conversion. Anyone...
Thanks for the input. Having spoken to the Audi garage they recommended getting standard wing mirrors in mugello blue. They have seen a number of RS6 cars without wing mirrors and thieves returning...
Monday morning and the wing mirrors have been nicked :evil: ! Apart from garaging anyone got any suggestions on how to keep them safe (do Audi do mugello blue aluminium?). Also where is the best...
Having said the refilling of the steering wheel fluid has improved matters it had at first but the creaking has returned:vgrumpy: !
Any other ideas of the cause of the problem and how to rectify...
Just had my car serviced by Dovercourt (Battersea, London) and they immediately diagnosed the groaning as the steering fluid being too low. They have bled and replaced the fluid and the creaking...
Must admit am tempted to run for the hills and keep the RS6:addict: ! However, with working and living in London I think the A4 3.0TDI is a good option but was tempted by the torque of the 335d and...
With Ken Livingstone:( making life expensive with his congestion charging he has intimated he will raise it to £25 per day ($50) to drive in central London for cars over 225g co2. If forced to sell...
VW have supercharged and turbocharged the Golf GT and according to some reports this has been reasonably successful!
:addict:
Think it will be 500-520 normally aspirated. Instead of turbos how about a supercharger?
:addict:
Rather than than a turbocharger would it be possible for them to use a supercharger?
:addict:
Spoke to a contact at Audi and he has been informed the new RS6 will be normally aspirated as the engine bay is too small to fit turbos. Only time will tell.:addict:
Happy 2007
Currently at 10.7mpg ! Central London driving with average speed of around 12mph. My wife's 4.2 a6 avant is averaging circa 17-19mpg for London driving.
Is there anyway I can get better economy...
Also live in London and still get the odd quizzical look especially from builders! Even had someone think it was an RS4. However, it is less of a rarity in my area as I drive past three RS6s (mugello...
My local audi mechanic said he had been informed they could not squeeze in the twin turbos. Time will tell.:dig:
Anyone thought about bio ethanol and what modifications would the RS6 need?
Just watched programme with lotus exige running on bio ethanol and it was very impressive (5th gear in the UK) improved...
It is a rough creaking vibration but is intermittent. Had no creaking today but it is there at low speeds.
Any ideas?
Thanks
James
:rs6kiss:
Have noticed a creaking coming from the steering rack and the vibration comes through the bulkhead. I know several people have had noise which may be from the calipers but this has been ruled out.

I bought the RS6 saloon :addict: because I prefer it to the avant. However, I bought the 4.2 avant (same engine but non turbo) with the same body styling for my wife as she has a heavy right foot but...
Anyone solved this mystery as I have the same noise (creaking when turning the wheel even when stopped) which seems to come and go?
Would be grateful as have a puzzled audi mechanic working on...
Have a RS6 2003 model:addict: and was wondering about updating the Sat Nav to be able to type in postcodes and check for speed cameras. Has anyone done this and where is the best place to buy a new...
Interesting to hear everyone's comments but is bigger better for the new RS6? v10 or v8 ? Turbos or not? I have just read VW have launched a new Golf GT 1.4 ENGINE WITH SUPERCHARGER/TURBO and this...
I am new to the forum (based in London) and have a question. I presently have a S4 AVANT which I am in the process of selling and upgrading to an RS6 saloon (the wife and kids will be getting a 4.2...
