Hello from UK,

I’m glad I found this forum it seems a friendly community. I wanted to find somewhere to ask a few questions about my car without getting my head ripped off for not being a hardcore petrol-head ;D

I purchased my S6 about a month ago. It has quite an interesting history…

One female owner. Bought from new by an extremely famous actor for an extremely famous woman actor/model - I don’t want to say any more than that. I wondered if this adds anything to the value or not :stuck_out_tongue:

It seems to be well looked after. It’s now done 87k, full Audi stamps from new with long life service: stamps at 18k, 34k, 53k, 72k, 82k up to mid 2015.

Plugs changed at 72k. Oil Change 82k.

Interior is immaculate except for missing rear ciggy lighter thing and a scuff on airbag cover decal which I cannot seem to purchase on its own (see pic)?

Exterior, the only cosmetic issue is very minor curb of back wheel. And the rear Textar brake calipers which look a bit ‘rough’ - are they meant to look like that bad and I wondered why are the originals are not on there.
On the front grill, why is there grey plastic strip below the plate. I can’t see this on other S6’s.

MOT (long) just says: Suspension arm rubber bush deteriorated but not resulting in excessive movement for nearside & offside front upper (forward).

The engine sounds great and it goes great. No warning lights or issues as of yet. Brakes feel awesome.

My main questions are:

Is there anything I need to do. Should I take it into my local Audi dealer for an interim service (it could be £235 well spent) for a once over. And do I have to worry about this dreaded carbon build up thing. I read its over hyped and due to owners crawling around city at 15mph, but if you drive it hard regularly its not an issue, the V10 is bulletproof etc with good servicing, fingers-X it certainly sounds good.

I can’t help the feeling when I’m driving that although everything is fine, I’m waiting for engine to explode or the timing chain to fly out through the bonnet when giving it the beans :o

  • mainly due to a few doom-monger Audi haters I guess.

(I have ordered some K&N air filters which are on the way.)

Many thanks in advance.
