    Now that she's going like an S4 should, she now should handle like an S4 should too. After huge disappointment with Koni STR.T ( http://www.s2forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=82378 ).

    I did what I should've done at the start and bought pair of B6 Bilsteins. Because I didn't want to go through all the work to take struts off, with help from dad (it was mostly dad's work to be honest ) we made a tool that works same as original Audi tool but for B6's (makes things incredibly easy)

    Yet to test drive her but I am 100% it'll be better than it came out of factory

    I get more practice on roads like that you know. But I hope I'll be able to go along to one of those

    You do need to redline it sometimes
    Cheeky fooker, come on a Scotland tour and i'll show you how it's done without redlining and give you a lesson and a tuning for the fun of it.

    So even you don't drive yours properly I like the ride and handling, the looks, the S6 cachet but don't see the point of thrashing it as torque drops off,and i'm a torque fan!

    You misunderstand me most likely .........i drive the S6 fast but very rarely above 4 - 4.5k,there really is no need, the turbo does all the work, just change gear for more fat on boost pull. Going to 6k and 7k as you see in the youtube clips is madness to me.

    Thanks Alex, I have 5w40 at the moment, and the Fuchs you posted are priced very well too, might just stick with that.

    I was talking about this one.

    Good to know that they know their products then

    Fuchs Titan Super Syn is fully synthetic. Its says it in big bold letters on the bottle and on their own website. I use that in the S4 which is a daily hack.

    I use Pro Race 10w 50 in the coupe, as it get a good hiding every time I drive it, but it is quite expensive at £50 for 5L.

    It's my daily, so don't really drive it hard hard, few mad moments and that's all. Asked Oilman and he said either 10W40 or 5W40.

    Both are Semi's Alex.

    Fuchs is quality & OEM fill on a lot of German metal.

    Magnatec isn't even fully synthetic....
