Bro is this a High School project?

[@happytobehere200]

This was really comprehensive and helpful. I’m going from a 2011 Mazda 3 to my first Audi and this was really good info. Thanks!

[@datsuntoyy]

New aftermarket performance brake pads have almost no dust and stop better. I got G3500 cryotreated rotors and hawk ferocarbon pads for $1,180 2 years ago and my mechanic charged $200 to put them on. I got similar for the rear at half the price and did them myself.

[@ronburgundy4375]

These cars are pretty reliable. In stock form it'll be basic maintenance especially with a face-lift. Fix the oil drain issue and if you mod/race make sure you upgrade the rear axles honestly for 2k it's a worthy mod

[@datsuntoyy]

What axle issue? Never heard of a problem with rear axles in my 9 years of ownership.

[@traybutts4425]

How you upgrade your axle

[@develodom]

I don't agree. I own C7.5 Audi S7 and the transmission is piece of garbage in terms of durability. Sure it feels much better than the ZF transmission, but the cost for this is too high - Clutches especially get super load because launch control (or any full gas from stationary) makes the transmission cringe. Also the car swallows engine mounts like gas. If ya don't have the money, I don't recommend going APR Stage 1 because that means KO to transmisson if you don't make some proper upgrade to the clutches. EDIT: 109K kms driven, at 70k kms complete change of transmission (SO I have brand new one and 50k kms on it and it just feels it will break down.)

[@vig37]

​@@develodomI think you need the PCM reprogrammed and it changes clutch application pressures and so on. It holds up much better with that if you get it tuned. Plus these transmissions need oil and filter service every 30k miles like clockwork. That's even if it doesn't get tuned. Still, you're right, the zf is a better trans.

[@iemetalguitar6431]

Honestly if you're going to own any sports car start learning to do the maintenance yourself if you don't want to spend crazy amounts on maintenance you'll need to spend on tools but it's way cheaper and if you use good parts and good oil for your routine maintenance it should last. Also anytime you upgrade in hp/tq you need to consider upgrading the rest before trying to push any car further than stock.

I will not give you any points for your complaint it won't go RWD. The whole Quattro system was built/designed with a FWD bias and you should have known that going into an Audi.

[@chrisk920]

No it is not. The newer Audis are. Prior to 2020 all Audis are 60/40 rear biased powered Quattro’s. They always were get your facts straight.

[@diamondheat9]

@@chrisk920 well aren't you full of wrong info. The 60/40 only happened with the Torsen type "C" differential which was first introduced in 2006. Older audi's were mainly 50/50. Audi's didn't go fwd in 2020 as the new Quattro with Ultra was introduced in 2016. That means the car in this video has a Quattro system designed with a FWD bias making my comment legit. I could work on the wording I admit that. So as you confidently said, get your facts straight!

Stock turbos or upgraded?

[@chrisk920]

Did you listen to the guy? He has a stock turbos. That car has 450 PHP out of the box just a simple APR stage one remap will give you an additional 100 HP and at least 150 additional foot pounds of pork. That’s why he’s having transmission problems 700 foot pounds of torque is insane. You need a transmission made out of granite to hold that.

[@yoshiakik.5332]

People want to buy Audi, BMW, Mercedes etc because they want to feel special they're driving a German luxury car. The people these cars were initially target to (people who buy them new) don't care the costs, they lease or get the warranties and have enough money to own them. People who buy them used cheap, think they're getting a bargain, but they don't realize they're going to have to pay a lot of money maintaining it. They're not buying a Toyota or Mazda, they're buying formerly expensive German cars that were 60k+ new and will pay for the maintenance on $60-100k cars which is expensive..

[@DannyDayz]

facts, I think leasing Germans makes a lot of sense.

The A6 Elimiates two very costly areas of the S6. The air suspention and the Turbos. Mine's in the shop now with a colapsed air suspention. Full stage 2 on an A6 can be as quick as a Stage 1 S6 for a bit less money.

[@MercedesMan]

@@datsuntoyy plus the S6 is boring to drive and a bad value. Completely. Unreliable design, and its not the fastest tbh. With a simple tune my E400 Coupe could be that speedy. 580 Hp on a 4500 lb car is trumped from 490 on a 3660 lb car. Thats 7.75 pounds per horsepower vs my 7.5. So your choice, you want to spend 60k to get an audi and a v8 sound? Or 30k for MAG-Ride and the same/better power. Due to weight. Yes my 3.0 V6 can beat that. Buy C400’s/E400’s they are sleepers guys.

[@datsuntoyy]

@@MercedesMan The S6 is definately not a boring drive. I've got 122k on mine and it's still very likely the best car I've ever been in. It may not be the speediest, but it'll match a Hellcat through 60 mph and I get better city milage than the Hellcat does on the highway. The twin turbo S6 also has nearly the same milage rating as the Merc's 6 at considerably more power. I'd also say I've seen many tests on E400's with stage 1 and 2 tunes and none approaching a 3.5 0-60. I'd agree with cost of ownership, it's up there. Then again, from what I've read so is the Merc. I'd take the S6 over an E any day of the week.

Probably takes his care to JiffyLube for oil and brake changes.
