Hi Gareth.. I've not had the car long enough to change the oil yet but ideally would be changing it once a year..this is the 3rd rs6 I've had since march..the first one after I'd bought it i noticed a lot of faults with the body work..grommets missing on the doors which on closer inspection turned out it had a lot of panels changed on it so that put me off it so had to get rid of it..bought the second one then realised afterwards it wasn't type approved to tow with as i tow a caravan due to it having different suspension system compared to the 1st one..so I'm on the 3rd which is type approved to to with complete with audi towbar so hopefully I'll be keeping this one! Its just had a full service in Feb so wont need doing till next year..i will email.castrol oil and see what they say about the oil

Yes it's just got a little confusing...says in handbook 502 00 which was what i purchased on eBay..when it came it had 505 00 on the back...so i msgd the seller saying this wasn't what i ordered.. sent them the reg number and asked if it was suitable..took them ages to reply and they said it was ok to use but I dont think it is...according to google on vw oil specs 505 range is for diesel engines so dont think it is the right oil

What spec oil does a 2015 rs6 require..planning on changing it yearly..had various options advised..says 502 in the book but had 507 suggested...bought some castrol 5w40 edge off eBay..it said 502 on the listing but when i got the oil the spec on the can is 505 00/505 01..contacted the supplier and they say it's ok to use..its a bit confusing now..can anyone answer this..cheers

Cheers Gareth I'll ring them up

It's also had 2 private plates on it aswell..that shouldn't be a problem should it
-
Yes it's for a rs6 i own..I'll look up where the nearest dealership is to me..thanks

How do you go about getting a paper copy of a cars service history from the dealers
-
Yes that's correct I've found out the hard way by not checking..I towed with a 2013 model with adaptive air suspension and naturally thought the newer one with drc would be the same but I was wrong...any how I removed the cylinders to fit the bar and repositioned them under it to get me away this last few months but its time now to take the bar off and sell the car and buy one that Is type approved for towing..I went through dvsa..vca and even audi to see if there was a way round it but there isn't..so do your checks first and don't get caught out like I did
