Agree with others. Of all the cars I've owned this car is very sensitive to unbalanced/bent wheels. A lot of patience is required on the balancer. You can also try road force balancing.

All these different faults leads me to believe it could be an electrical problem. I know you said you changed the battery. Did you check the alternator?

No that wouldn't cause these error messages. Most likely it's something that's preventing a steady 12+ volts from reaching the car's computers. Bad alternator or a bad ground or electrical connection.

Congrats! You just won the lottery. How did you get them to pay? I've heard horror stories about how stubborn Audi is regarding this design failure on their part.

I haven't yet but understand that the only additional thing you need to do is let the car know a new battery has been installed. You can do this using vag-comm or maybe other diagnostic tools as well.

Do you have any 19s that will fit the S6? Stock size is 8.5 x 19 ET45 but the issue is clearing the brakes. I don't really want to go to 20s b/c of the terrible road conditions I have to deal with.

Try opening the hood and closing it and hopefully the message goes away. I know these sensors can get sticky sometimes.

Shouldn't the car still be under warranty? Blown turbos at 35k mi is probably the lowest mileage I've heard of. I think most have blown upwards of 60-70k miles.

I am really disappointed in the horsepower levels for the C8 S6. To have a new generation arrive with less h.p. is insane, especially when BMW & MB keep on upping their game. Maybe there's a sliver...

What was repaired? A $12k repair done in a day seems optimistic to me. My dealer struggles to even complete basic maintenance in one day.

So it appears the dealer said they changed the plugs but didn't? Very bad - you should file a complaint with the dealer and corporate.

I'll have to ask for the old plugs back when I get mine...

Depends on how many miles you put on the car per year. For me, 5-6k mi/yr was NOT worth it.

Also likely to be less headroom for tuning. Stage 1 easily gets you an extra 100 hp on the V8. I doubt we'll see such gains for the V6.

$17k to install a new transmission seems excessive. At the least you should call a couple of other dealers and ask for an estimate.

No brake noise on my S6 after 25k miles, but I have a Benz that had noisy brakes. I applied CRC Brake Quiet to the back of each pad (where it contacts the caliper) and that stopped the noise.
