I’ve recently changed from an A6 BiTDI to an RS6. I’d definitely have another BiTDI. Does everything well but as some have already said, not many good spec ones around. RS6 is a monster and I love it though, can be tame and surprisingly economical, and can be a complete hooligan. BiTDI is a...

Anyone else tried this and if so what difference did it make? I always think mine sounds a little ‘dieselly’ at low reva when setting off and thinking this might make a difference. https://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/eliminate-diesel-clatter-cduc-cdud-3-0tdi.381051/ Sent from my iPhone...

Floret Silver with black rings [emoji106] I was on the fence before I did it but think I prefer the black. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have a suspicion that the hardware is the same between the 218hp and 272hp version so the map could get you over 300hp. I’m no expert though!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
