Back to basics. Does the grinding noise only appear when the brakes are applied? If so then it should be a pad / rotor issue. You say the rotors were machined for free but you never confirmed if new...

G'day Pete, working through the alphabet again. Saw an RS2 went for 70,000 pounds earlier this week in uk, so no chance of me buying one of those. Now we need a new thread and some pictures!

Go to your local hydraulic hose guy and ask what they can do. Even better if you can find someone who does a lot of automotive work. Nothing is impossible but you may need to pay for quite a few...

Some brands have a plastic impeller and the word is to stay clear of those. You get OE from Audi, OEM from the manufacturer of the audi parts without the audi logo and then the rest. Depending on the...

Guys, congrats on some interesting cars. Parts can be available and then they dry up and reappear. I personally haven't found any local source where you can get the whole range of parts from one shop...

Don't count on your VIN meaning much, it isn't a US delivered car. Take a slight pause, get to know your car and it's configuration thoroughly before placing your order, it's on you to get the order...

Eddie, it's an open ended question. There are a lot of high mileage cars around the world running probably better than those that get only a little use. After that it all depends............ the...

First thing, if these people have actually seen the tyre, then run a mile, that is totally unacceptable from any shop. How about we use some brain power here. Looking at the photo, the tyre wear is...

Patently obvious that you have an interference, probably with the suspension upright. This isn't tyre wear in the normal sense, rather there is a mismatch betwen your wheel and tyre spec and your...

Quick heads up, I was pottering around on ECS tuning yesterday and put a potential article in the trolley. went to the checkout to get a freight price and I see that GST is now added to the total...

I'm trying liqui moly 4100 5w-40 which is the spec for the RS6. Seems OK, no comments either way atm. Most comments about oil brand and grade are from enthusiastic users who don't have any quals that...

Looking good. Long way on from the B5.

No, it won't break the bank, but I will have to pay twice for quality coolant which as we all know isn't cheap. The big deal is every buyer on here stumps up with no guarantee that they will ever...

Sad, but in 7 years on this Forum, this is the very first time a forum member hasn't been honest in a transaction. After posting I'd take the advertised kit, I then had to chase the guy up as he...

Sometimes fathers have uses :) Agreed that to do this safely and properly you need a certain number of the right tools. If you are really going to make a life out of maintaining your own cars then...

Yep, that nut requires either a special deep ring spanner or a set of hollow sockets with handle. Got both so it was never an issue but it would be a real test of your patience if you didn't. You...

Hard to believe but I ordered an alternator from the US last year, took 6 weeks to get into their stock BUT... Two days to get from mid USA to my front door. Unheard of.... really impressed. I'll be...

No, I ended up using Bilstein. I used Bilstein on my RS4 and very happy with that. Was going to try Koni on the RS6 just as a comparison but they were unavailable so bought the Bilsteins. Super happy...

A TT850 on a 2.5 ltr motor, you could roll a fag or have a meal while waiting for it to spool up. These cars are high speed Bahnstormers, you'll never see the top end in Aus and ruin the mid range...

The rears can be more difficult than the fronts. Get a really good spring compressor, not those deadly threaded rods with claws, and some good axle stands. Give you a good chance to check your...

Congrats on a nice car, you'll love it. Does sound like the DRC has had it. For mine, just replacing it did wonders. While most suspension options can be made to work, I question the worth of the...

All the RS6 versions are complex in a way. Most have minimal miles up so you would need the worst type of Monday-Friday car to even think about engine work and needing a spare. No matter what the...

Welcome, hope the allroad is good for you. Mine was a great car, I put up a few posts here on it between 2014 and 2019. Keep Arnotts airbags in mind and the cracking of the membrane can be very hard...

Brave man. I can see a transplant into a Porsche being positive but a small V8 in a 105. Like your style.

Head on over to audisrs.com (a UK site) and there is a guy there who has had two goes at swapping in an Audi 2.7 V6 to a Boxster. Great read and it can't help but give you some tips. Immediate...
