Looks stunning Steve…i see you can still cut it with the detailing…pun intended

Thanks David, she does brush up well. Not bad for nearly 10 years old!

Yeah, I don't think Sports Diff is an option as far as I know.

Thanks Sal,

No sports rear diff is standard, mine has "Sports suspension plus" though, which has firmer spring and shock-absorber settings than standard and approx. 10mm lower than standard according to Google and Audi.

Hope that helps!

Nice one, I saw one advertised with sports diff so I wasnt sure as most of these advertised dont mention it.
I had some tints removed, They used a small portable steamer kind of thing. Was surprised how quick they came off

PXL_20210912_152842655.jpgLast week I had the rear tints removed, as I hated the way the windows looking on the rear doors and cargo area.... (Oh and I gave it a complete machine polish and detail.... )

I like the look of this
Is the sports rear diff an option on these?

A small update for those that might like to follow:

These are some shots taken at the end of a very early Sunday morning run at 6am so see what the car was really capable of. (speed limiter appears to be absent.... )

Shortly after aquiring it, I realised that wheel centres were not up to scratch and ordered new ones from Audi - £120 total.

Last month I booked the RS into MRC for the 40k miles transmission service.

This is a fluid and filter change for:

Gearbox
Front Diff
Centre Diff
Rear Diff

I also asked for a health check on the Dyno. It turns out that despite the car feeling bloody fast, it is 50 bhp down on power! It needs a carbon clean and will be getting a remap for the engine and gearbox at the same time.

Cost of the above was £1100
Quote for the carbon clean and remap is £2100 - will do this in few months time...

This month, I put a pair of Michelin Pilot Sport 4S's on the rear to match the fronts. (There were a Dunlop SportMaxx and a Michelin Pilot sport on the rear which did not match and bugged me!)

Tyres were £520 total

Next week I am going to have the tinted window film removed from the rear windows, and rear hatch as i absolutely hate them, they totally ruin the lines of the car. I have been quote £150 to have this done by a local company.

I knew this would not be a cheap car to run and factored that in when I bought it. More importantly to me, it has to be right and done properly....


Although it looks amazing, the paintwork is not quite up to my high standards and it needs a light polish / enhancement to bring out the gloss in the paint. If you look at the paint on the door shuts, it is deeper and glossier that the outside, but this can easily be rectified.

Here is one of my favourite views of it in the office car park. Those arches....

And this is a view I will never get tired of:

Glad to hear!! Always been a fan of the RS’s especially c5 RS6 costs frighten me so ended up with A6 biturbo saloon amazing piece of kit nearly as fast as an S6 but average about 35mpg and near 48 on a long run. Keep enjoying

Thanks, I am hoping it won't be extortionately expensive to run..... (apart from fuel!)
