Harz's new toy... RS6 Avant
Hedge:
Epic car. Driven a couple and owned an S6 of the same era. If my numbers come up I so would although running it might prove a bit expensive.
Enjoy. :happy2:
Harz:
Had a puncture last week and on taking off the wheel discovered that the CV boot was split.
As I didn't know how long the boot had been split for and that a new CV joint kit was only £36 I decided to get the joint and boot changed.
Was happy that I got the CV joint sorted, but when I arrived at my friends house for him to do the work the car decided to spring a leak as I reversed into his garage.
After the CV joint was done we took the under tray off to see where the oil was leaking from. The pipes on the oil/transmission fluid cooler have corroded and cracked.
Also got a problem with my drivers side headlight. Checked the fuses and changed the HID bulb, but still not working so looks like it could be a ballast or igniter.
Managed to get a second hand rear view mirror which will save me a lot of money as Audi want £209 for a new one! Also got a used Bentley books manual from the states. Find these cover a lot more than Haynes. Got a used door lock hopefully will cure the intermittent problem with the drivers door latch.

The joys of RS6 ownership. At least the DRC suspension has already seen the bin :happy2:

It's like owning a pet elephant. ££££££££££££ albeit a rather quick elephant.

Yeah I like the Bilsteins... Think I need to uprate the ARBs...
So far repairs have been manageable, but expected to find a few problems it is a 12 year old car after all...
