Sorry no help with the parts but I have RNS-e in the RS6A and while it looks the part and integrates with the car, it is not exactly user friendly (to this user anyway). My C5 S6 came to me with a Kenwood head unit with touch screen nav, bluetooth, etc. I find it much easier to use than the RNS-e. But RNS-e just seems more appropriate.

Thanks for the feedback. I do really enjoy this pioneer head unit, but would prefer the stock look.

Anyone know of a parts C5 with silver interior?? I need some interior bits.

Specifically:
1. Rear Cup Holder face plates
2. Child Seat Anchor Covers
3. HVAC control buttons
4. Interior Trunk Release Button

Still debating on a RNS-e swap instead of the pioneer unit I have. I like the modern bluetooth etc, but it's ugly as sin!

Try emailing: jacksonautos@gmail.com out of Philadelphia, I believe he has a C5 RS6 with silver interior which he is parting out.

As far as the RNS-e contact: zawa he is the go to for those.

User Cmnair on here found a good source for inside buttons and parts, maybe search posts.

You (plural) should come to Pittsburgh for the PVGP in July!
Vintage racing on city streets and a great car show.

No responses on the interior parts... I'll keep searching.

Discovered a new oil leak. Pulled the splash guard off and noticed a small leak from the oil cooler line (under the radiator on the passenger side). It's leaking from the nut. It's not serious enough to try and fix now, as I'll have to drain the oil, but thought I'd ask if you guys typically replace this line or should I try and get some sealant to put on the threads?

Bufkin pipe

While we're on the topic of the bufkin pipe, is there a DIY somewhere? Is it an engine-in or engine-out job?

I think he's talking about the front external oil cooler, not the water to oil cooler. If it's that one, then thread sealant won't help, it's a compression fitting, not pipe threads. If it's leaking, either try to tighten it if it's loose, or remove it and clean the mating surfaces.

Also, I would say the Bufkin pipe is an engine out job. That's how I did mine and I don't see it working well with the engine in.

Yep, front external oil cooler. Seems very tight and I didn't want to break anything. I'll wait until my oil change, remove and clean it.

Thanks!

Welcome back to Tx. and to Fort Worth. Hit me up when you get here. It will give me a reason to pull mine out of the garage and drive it. It's been awhile. What part of Fort Worth are you moving to?

[mgmarsh39]

Thanks man! We are in Flower Mound. Shoot me a pm when you're free sometime.
