Some time ago there was a fuel line leak issue that generated a recall fix. When I diagnosed my car, I was stunned at the amount of fuel line vibration in the general area you have indicated. I...

Having spent 110,000 miles in my RS4, and a few in and RS5 (which has more tech but only a bit more hp), for my purposes the S6 was the better choice. It's 13" longer with a 10" longer wheelbase, so...

I am at ~35k miles and have no real complaints during summer or Central New York winter driving. It is effortlessly faster than my (still missed) RS4, and more comfortable. The "raise" feature has...

I realize I sound like a fanboy, but in all of the miles listed below, plus 30,000+ on my S6, I have never had anything like a catastrophic failure over four Audimobiles. I would ask the dealer to...

My CH-R's have been fine for ~20k miles, and central New York has many potholes. I was unable to source an Audi center cap, which I wanted for understatement.

That car is certainly under the CPO mileage window. At minimum (and I purchased all of my Audis as spec-built new cars), I would want to see the complete dealer service record. FWIW, when I sold my...

From my recent 25,000 m. service:

I have a very friendly and cooperative team. FWIW, they indicated that an intermittent light might not in every case yield a fault code, but that it might be a good approach (for S6 owners) to...

Exactly my thinking...

...while I am certain the double clutch is 'overbuilt', the APR tune delivers a lot more footie poundage. Accordingly, I am giving it time. By the time my warranty expires, I expect there will be...

Yup!

I get a kick out of exceeding what I attained when behaving myself with the RS4 (22-23mpg @ 73mph on CC), and as I posted, we have several runs of over 300 miles to and from Maine which got 28 mpg @...
