  1. If you look in the owners manual, you WILL find there are a few different oil viscosities that you can use. My car drinks 5w30 when driven hard. Give it 5w40 and it barely uses any oil over 1000 miles. And both are VW approved oil's for my engine. So the RS6 will be the same, it will be in the owners manual. So as long as its a VW approved oil, with the correct codes on the bottle as stated in the cars owners manual, it will be fine, and there will be no warranty complaints. Its not like I said to go from 0w30 to 20w60 for a diesel Toyota was it. This guy has a 2020 RS6 from new. I have a 2006 2.0TFSI from new, from day 1 its drank 5w30. Its like water. Adding Forte oil Fortifer stopped it. Using an oil like 5w40 also had the same result. 109000 miles on it today. Been remapped for the last 60k, run's like a dream and still has 3/4 oil left if I left it the full 10k between oil change. Hope you get it sorted Lee, I've had my eye on an RS6 for a while.
  2. Brembo and Pagid are two perfectly good makes, and both supply manufacturers as OEM parts. You can try TPS, or Demon Tweeks will be able to get you the discs you need at a decent price. They got EBC to make me a set of grooved and drilled discs.
  3. You could use thicker oil, or something like Forte Oil fortifier. VAG cars burn oil, It says its going to use that much in the manuals.
  4. Have a look at your boot lock. Its the slit in the vertical position? It has to be vertical to be opened with the boot release inside the car or with the boot handle switch. If its horizontal it will only open from the key fob.
  5. There are at least 3. There is one under the brake booster. Take the battery out and poke around with your finger, the hole will be completely gunked up. Once you've found it, just clean it out the best you can. There is also a fairly big rubber grommet you can just remove (Rounded oblong shape). Pretty much straight under the battery. There is also another hole on the opposite side to the brake booster. Id love to know if you have spongy brakes after all this water sitting in there. I had the same, and wanted to replace the brake booster as sometimes my pedal feels to soft on the first press. I have to lift off and immediately press the brakes again and I get a solid pedal. Garage told me those things dont break. But maybe water go into mine, as its not meant to be submerged in water.
  6. So over this lockdown I've not used the car much. The dashcams have drained my battery on several occasions. I've had it out and recharged it a few times. Even swapping every couple of days with an older battery. Today, I've put a brand new battery in. The car is working fine, but I now have the service warning on my cluster telling me it needs servcing in 8400 miles or 336 days. This warning will not go away. Every time it shows it bongs. How can I stop it? It normally will tell me this once when I start the car, it should go away and let me see the normal display. But it just stays and bongs at me. Please, Any suggestions. Thanks
  7. The grills on ebay will not fit your S-line bumper. The only options are to get a genuine RS4 grill, that will fit perfectly into an S-line bumper. Or get a genuine RS6 grill and cut the mesh and cut up your S-line grill and bodge the two together. The ebay ones are too small.
