I've had the car over a month now and have done around 1K mileage. It has developed a slight knock noise which can only be heard from the passenger wheel area when I turn the steering wheel full right lock and reverse ever so slowly backwards or move forwards, literally at crawl pace. Otherwise...

Bbigman2000 - That has scared the living daylights out of me! :ohmy: I bought my car from a respectable chap (Private Dealer) from whom I acquired a 3 month warranty, which I'm thinking ain't going to be enough now for extended peace of mind. Do you think I can I take out a separate policy...

I've posted another video (same site), one of a 0-60 test that wife and I carried out on a safe track. Do take a look if you get the chance. Getting mid 4's I think (depending on reaction time). :racer: Let me know what you think. :sm4:

Thats a beautiful car !! I'm loving the colour .... :)

Chaps, I couldn't post it here so I quickly knocked up a webpage on one of my redundant domains so it could be viewed. It's nothing special ... just something I've been trying to explain to my mates (something that you are guys are well aware of) and capture it in some way. I thought this...

Sorry chaps .. I seemed to have missed this 'critical' thread. Just got back from a nice relaxing (sometimes spine chilling) drive around some of our quieter roads :-) .. All safe and legal ofcourse !!! ... Now can I say, someone told me today that Avants were 10 times more popular (maybe a...

Thank you Marmite, very insightful. :) If this helps, I quickly dug out the paper for my last major service which was carried out at 37K, (which was done before the previous oil change service at 42K). This service was done just over a year ago, here down south. Breakdown of work done...

Gosh ... myabe it is just me but I'm still taking that in. I'm just thinking, even if it takes them the whole day, say a whole 7 hours to do the service. Thats still £420 labour inc (at £60/hour you mention). So the parts cost around £1200 inc? Maybe I'm looking at this too simplistically...

Oh my !!! ... I'm not looking forward to it myself either. I've bought my car a couple of weeks ago, but the service indicator says its due in about 1000 miles or so and its not one of those small Oil change services either. There have got to be good sensible options. I was advised to use...

I'm glad you guys spoke about the fuel as that's something I wasn't sure about. Admittedly, the regular fuel looks tempting (with all the price wars recently keeping the prices competitive), but I won't touch it if it means I lose performance and or is bad for my engine. Also I think that using...

Marmite - Awesome ... tell me more about those blue lights ... I love em ! Also we tried timing the 0-60 with the ESP off. We got times around 4.2 secs which I think isn't correct. Either we are timing it incorrectly (being as accurate as we can with a fine stopwatch) or the car might be...

Natedog, unfortunately not this time around .... but I understand they are an annual event ? So maybe next time. So this is your first time at such an event ? Do you guys have pics of your cars in the gallery ? Would love to take a look at them if u do. Also, I had a look at this video...

Rev-head. No probs mate. Here's a gallery post. http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/vbpicgallery.php?do=view&g=338

Thanks for the info guys. The colour is Daytona Grey. It's a 2002 model and extremely well kept. On the options, I think the chap that originally bought the car nearly ticked every option in the list. Marmite - How long have you had yours...

In your opinion, what is the best way to achieve the fastest 0-60 time on an RS6? Some of the options I think I have - Floor the accelerator pedal in sports mode? (Will there be a lag?) Rev up in neutral (4000 + rpm?) and then shift it quickly to sports mode / auto? High revs and then make use...
