RS6 test-drive - any advice

[JamieG]

Evening all - my search for a "new" estate-car may be coming to an end!! I'm off to test drive an RS6 at Listers (Coventry)at the weekend having been satisfied with the answers i was given over the 'phone regarding any DRC issues etc the car may have. Is there anything in particular I should be looking for in the way of fluid leaks eg around shocks/dampers etc? On the test drive, is there anything i should be looking/listening out for?
Grateful for any words of wisdom. Jamie

Rag the fvck out of it.

Ditto. I recently did much the same with an S6. Hoof it from a standstill at a roundabout, then notice how it squats down and gets on with it. Superb kit.

If the DRC is broken the signs are crashing and banging from the shocks vibrations through the loud pedal and leaking shocks. Other than that check as many of the toys as you can.

and you will get the answers you need, and the car DOES have issues.

Drive over speed bumps and pot holes - any knocking or noise indicates DSG problems. A lot of them have it and it can be fixed under warranty if you use a good dealer, but judge for yourself, don't trust the seller.

Incidentally, I may be selling mine later this month if you're after a silver avant...pm me if you're interested as I won't be selling at 'stealer' price.
