A6 3.0 TFSI

[spinning wheels]

Greetings everyone.

Swapping my A4 B8 3.0TDI Quattro for an A6 C7 3.0 TFSI on Saturday.

Must admit I am looking to be be back in a petrol again after several years in a diesel.

Anyone else got a similar A6 out there who wants to share experiences ?

I've got the C6 version. It took some finding as there aren't many of them around, even fewer C7s I expect.

It's a great engine.

Would be nice if Audi got their heads out of their arses and offered manual boxes too. The 3.0tfsi is a great engine ruined by a gearbox thats spends its time intent on finding 7th gear as soon as possible due to emissions crap..

My last diesel was a 3.0TDI in an A5 quattro, not gone back since, you won't regret it!!

Had a C6 with 3.0TFSI, I absolutely loved it!

Good luck with the new car..

Another C6 3.0 TFSI owner here... I agree, it's a great engine with plenty of easily-accessible shove. Only downside is the fuel economy - it's a very thirsty unit (I struggle to get better than 24/25mpg average, and that's with a lot of motorway driving to help it out... around town it's in the teens).

That said I'm sure you won't be buying it as the economical option, so just enjoy the performance, refinement and v6 snarl when pushing on, and buy some shares in Shell to hedge yourself a little bit.

Picked her up today and she is quite the beastie.

The engine is so different to the TDI, treated her to a bit of super unleaded and have been smiling all afternoon in sports mode.

Would thoroughly recommend it !!

The 3.0 TFSI responds incredibly well to a chip tune. Throw on an upgraded supercharger pulley and it's even better! APR do some good products.

Yes, its on my list of things to do.

Just need to get my head around the MMI & AMI systems now and work out best way forward.

On the B8 I had an old iPod connected to the AMI in the glove box and used my iPhone for calls via bluetooth.

C7 isn't so straight forward and I need to work out the best way to use a 2nd SIM to work with Google, use my iPhone with Bluetooth and work out how to use my old iPod for music or move everything to SD.

All good stuff !!!
