In case anyone here is interested - I am selling my C5 RS6 after 2 years of enjoyment and occasional pain...
It's 2003, 116k miles, ebony black with MTM 508 TCU/ECU Remap
Black Optics + anthracite 'plus' spec stock alloys, few minor marks
H&R coilovers (replacing troublesome DRC)
Miltek cat-back exhaust
'Plus' drilled brakes with Phaeton cooling upgrade (about 2/3rd worn)
'Natural' leather interior (black)
2008 RNSE satnav retrofitted
Tax & MOT till October, used as my daily currently - drives fine despite issues below
V80MTM private reg
I need to shift the car as I already have a replacement lined up. It has issues that need attention:
Gearbox - the TC is not locking, causing slip, it's just had a service but the issue came back quickly
Top end noise - not sure what this is, sounds like a 'ticking' which I thought was tappet but seems to be the back of the head - I suspect it's something blowing on the EM/turbo side but not certain. It disappears once she's hot or on overrun.
Cambelt - due a change (has been 5yrs)
Tyres - need replacing
The car would be ideal for someone who is prepared to take the car on as a bit of a project. It's recently had turbos, intercoolers, Oil cooler hoses, alternator, radiator replaced so with these issues resolved it would have nothing wanting.
I'm looking for £5,500 to take the car. It's estimated at £4.5k to solve all the above at a reputed specialist with warranty and another £600 to put a set of goodyears on.
Pic attached is when I bought it, need to give it a good clean to get recent pics with the stock alloys on. The BBS's and spacers can be bought for an additional £500 too.
