Hi All

New to the forum, and had a couple of questions which you may be able to hlep with.

I will be shortly purchasing an Audi A6 2.5 TDI Estate (Non-Quatro). As a VW Golf owner I am aware that VW have issues with MAFs on the TDI's, window regulators etc. Please could anyone let me know what issues have arisen on the A6 2.5TDI, and what things I should look out for.

Also does anyone sell the RS6 bodykit, as I think it looks the dogs, but can't afford one, and I do too many miles to justify the fuel bill to the wife !!

Another point, what are the tuning oportunities for the engine and what power gains have people got from tuning them.

Sorry for all the questions, and look forward to hearing from you.

James

hi. unable to justify a rs6 to the wife? well how much dose a wife cost ? we'll let you can think about that one. go for the rs6+ =480 bhp

power output on the 2.5 tdi is 150 bhp, 155 bhp, 163 bhp and 180 bhp so yours is open to a good chipping or your could go for a diesal power box you can put one on and take off in minutes gaining approx 25% more power but remember you may not feel this power increase untill you take the box off when you will feel the decrease in power without it. oh yes and you will put it back on cheers.
