Hi Guys and Dolls got an S6 Avant and loving it

[bigtalljim]

Just thought I would say hi to all the VAG peeps. Looking forward to swapping tips and info about the S6. So far so good as chipped up to 270bhp and drives very well

assume its a urS6, if its 270bhp?

bought myself a slightly younger near identical urS4 avant last month

I am not sure what the ur before S6 means? Trying to find out lots about the car i.e. what model designation it is etc.

Yes it is 2.2 Turbo 5 pot in typicla Audi tradition.

urS6, as with the quattros the ur just means original.
Thus the original S6, actually remarkably close to my car, one evolved to the other. The S4 came out after the S2 which was based on the 80/90 platform, the S4 was based on the 100 platform. Then the 100 morphen to the A6 and thus the urS4 on the 100 became the urS6 on the first generation A6. A few other difference but fairly subtle.

Welcome to the urS4/S6 club!

I actually had an S6 Avant AND a saloon until recently, but I sold the Avant on. My saloon recently had a custom remap and I managed to get it up to 288 BHP.

Fantastic cars - I have had 5 in total now, and I never want to be without one!

Any of you had a problem with the front suspension knocking? I just replaced my lower wishbone on the driver side as the bush was worn. But hasn't cured it totally, still knocks over rough roads.
