AUDI RS6 COMMON PROBLEMS!

[@MrLucasg60]

haldex?

[@siebevdc9403]

I have a RS6 Performance from 2018, absolute unit of a car. I mean the only downside is the fuel consumption hahaha, thank god for the tax laws in belgium on that

[@itsimty]

I used to have one great cars so juicy 🤣

[@anthonydebock766]

Do explain. I'm interested in getting one ( also from belgium ), deleting the rear seats obviously 🤪

[@siebevdc9403]

@@anthonydebock766 Well tbh it's a 70l gas tank and you get around 500 km out of this. So the gas station is a weekly / 2 times a week thing. For the rest it's pure smiles on your face, taxes are only 150 euros per year and that's it (except the fuel cost ofc)

[@manxman8008]

other than that.. they're very reliable

[@jsmoove8041]

I hear DRC tends to have more issues - most will need work done/replaced. Air suspension no trouble for me at 52k miles so far.

[@gdubyadubya8961]

DRC is terrible. Audi have had it for ages yet still can’t get it right. Whilst not an RS6, my 2015 RS4 needed a shock replacement in 2017 at only 35,000k, under warranty. Then in 2019 ( out of warranty ) another shock failed. Car never tracked, never abused. I ended up ditching the DRC for KW coil overs, lost the presets but who cares, soft was far too soft, sport was pushing my spine through my skull and auto too slow to react. Much much better ride now and reliable ( yes it’s 2024 and I still own this car, no desire to move it on ) in short, ditch DRC would be the first thing I’d do with an Audi RS anything.

​@@gdubyadubya8961While I've not had the same issues with shocks, 80k miles, stock shocks and no leaks or damage. I tend to agree, comfort is great for normal driving with 21" wheels. Auto is too slow to react and dynamic is far too hard on our roads. But was great on Silverstone national circuit.

[@JP_RS6]

A4's and above use the Torsen centre and rear diff, not haldex. Id still recommend your advice. Just doesnt have haldex.

[@larrychen9981]

Can you confirm which generations of the RS6 you were referencing? Was it C6? C7? C8? - thanks.

[@itsimty]

The one in the video which is the C7

[@aminkhan736]

do they get timing chain or crank issues?

[@JP_RS6]

No but Audi still recommend changing the chain and tensioners between 80-120k miles. Engine out job.

[@AlexandrValakh]

Generally, from what I understand longitudinal engine Audi = Torsen, transverse engine Audi = Haldex ?!

[@RS-kz1br]

What sos ? What haldex? Oh dear

[@Blackmagicvrs]

Haldex A3 and below, torsen A4 and above. Very much oh dear. Think he needs to re think the technician hoodie!

[@writenamehere0000]

LOL miles and gallons

[@M4tt82]

I’m sure “pops and bangs” are not good for the engine 🤔

[@JP_RS6]

It has some overrun from the factory but it's not huge amounts.
