Bro is this a High School project?
This was really comprehensive and helpful. I’m going from a 2011 Mazda 3 to my first Audi and this was really good info. Thanks!
These cars are pretty reliable. In stock form it'll be basic maintenance especially with a face-lift. Fix the oil drain issue and if you mod/race make sure you upgrade the rear axles honestly for 2k it's a worthy mod
What axle issue? Never heard of a problem with rear axles in my 9 years of ownership.
How you upgrade your axle
I don't agree. I own C7.5 Audi S7 and the transmission is piece of garbage in terms of durability. Sure it feels much better than the ZF transmission, but the cost for this is too high - Clutches especially get super load because launch control (or any full gas from stationary) makes the transmission cringe. Also the car swallows engine mounts like gas. If ya don't have the money, I don't recommend going APR Stage 1 because that means KO to transmisson if you don't make some proper upgrade to the clutches.
EDIT: 109K kms driven, at 70k kms complete change of transmission (SO I have brand new one and 50k kms on it and it just feels it will break down.)
@@develodomI think you need the PCM reprogrammed and it changes clutch application pressures and so on. It holds up much better with that if you get it tuned. Plus these transmissions need oil and filter service every 30k miles like clockwork. That's even if it doesn't get tuned. Still, you're right, the zf is a better trans.
New aftermarket performance brake pads have almost no dust and stop better. I got G3500 cryotreated rotors and hawk ferocarbon pads for $1,180 2 years ago and my mechanic charged $200 to put them on. I got similar for the rear at half the price and did them myself.
Looks great, looking to do the same mods to mine. APR stage 1 with an X-pipe for better sound. Just curious, what are you looking to get? M5, E63S?
Thanks homie🙏🏼 yes do all of the above and maybe go cattless.. Most likely m5
Interesting
Because I’m looking at the bmw M550
Are this ? But bmw offers a better warranty
Great review thanks bro!!!
I've had mine since 2017, no issues. And mine is a 1000 HP guardian of the gate of hell.
Nice whip I use to have an older s6 v10 loved it plus has was cheaper. Been thinking about another s model or tuning a a6 a7
Thanks! Consider S models, won’t regret it again👌🏼
Your S6 is SICK!
Any performance vehicle will have it's issues.
Especially once modifications start.
It's just part of the game.
Your really did not describe any real reason that is a problem.
Infotainment center
Not good enough go put some rims on your P.C.
Shifts to hard.
To harsh of ride.
Brake dust seriously that's what high metallic brakes do.( Ever hear of ceramic pads)
Water drops on door seals C'mon dude..
Maybe a Camry / lexus will more suitable or there is more to this story .
HIGH PERFORMANCE DOES NOT COME CHEAP.(PERIOD)
congrats buddy
"This is the computer graphics, this is not real". hahaha, thanks for the vid. Might grab one of these.
How many miles have you owned it?
6k
Dope vid
Hey bro what were your issues with 1st and 2nd gear if you had to describe it. My ‘18 S6 has a clunky downshift from 3rd to 2nd in dynamic mode but not sport mode shifting just normal d mode shifting. Is this normal?
yes same
Get a transmission mount from 034 sports. That will help it. very cheap mod and bang for your buck.
Mines jerky in 1st, all others are fine, but man it’s weird becuase I’ve owned a few VW dsg, and one A3, and they never were like this car. Lol
@@ihci really? Should I get the full drivetrain mount kit?
@@DannyDayz oh wow well that’s good to hear the tune fixed it. It was in normal “d” mode though right? Not “s” mode in dynamic?
I have 184k miles on my 2013 s6, love her to death
I’m looking to buy a 2016 would you recommend? I’m new to Audi
How has reliability been for you? How long have you had it?
please update us bro, a buddy of mine is selling one for a steal of a deal 🙏
@@jaker6037 it’s been good, I’m at 190k now, the 4.0t platforms are solid motors, aside from oil screen issue which is a recall Audi fixed its been pretty normal stuff that would go out on any car, but I do the maintenance myself so I don’t spend an arm and a leg at a dealer or smn for the labor, the dct has a known issue which is the mech unit going out but it’s ready to rebuild and was only like $800 & I did that at like 165k miles when mine went out
@@terpslol 190k atm for my car
Looks and sounds amazing!!
It's fast it's reliable hey I got some questions I have a 2015 supercharged 3.0 A6 What can I do to upgrade the speed without it being too radically in noise
Not really realiable at all common trans failure, pcv, turbo, airsuspension, timing chain etc
Just find your closest a PR dealer and do a simple stage one too on your V6 that’s all you need. I never mess with the exhaust on mine and the difference is amazing.👍
Have a S5 3.0 had bad cats had to replace with test pipes then bad pcv valve oil n coolant was mixing then motor mounts went bad fixed it…car was good bought an intake tuned it stage 1 did some pulls no alot now my cars engine is fucked up a weak after I tuned it piece of shit audi last one i own
What is the exterior color of your car? Sounds badass and looks amazing😎
I believe it's called Daytona gray.
Nice ride 👍
Thanks🙏🏼
2-3 k just for fron brakes or for frond and rear brakes ?
If you don’t modify any car will last longer.. it’s like taking steroids it will be good gains but with side effects.
That is a very good analogy, that just pretty much nailed it right there! But I still modify mine. Stock is for chumps.
Damn hearing about the seals issues on the doors and trunks. That fricken sucks
A problem I've never had with mine. They seal great even after 9 years.
I haven't had any problems with mine. Sure it gets in the door up to the seals, but that's it.
I have a 16 and never had an issue
2017 a sex, Ione. I do have those issues and there is rust developing at the bottom of the door jams already they must’ve put out a couple hundred bad ones.
i just sold my S6 couple of weeks ago.... but only to upgrade to the RS6 :P
c 8?
@@DannyDayz nope, never ever.... C7 !!!!!!
They don’t make an S6 coupe. Nice try
@@chrisk920 you missed the "l" in the word.... "couple" :)
Those are some good MPG numbers. My stock 18' S6 averages like 15 MPG.
I know it's wild...
For real my c7 is terrible on gas.
My '13 S6 averages about 20. I once got 26.9 on a trip from Phx AZ to Tachoma WA and back. That included many mountain climbs and 3 hours stop and go traffic in Shitsville Los Angeles. That's with 3 people, a trunkfull of luggage and a stage 1 tune (and a very heavy foot). If you get 15, you either do some serious heavy trafic driving, or have an issue with the engine.
@@datsuntoyy It's mostly city driving these days. For highway driving/road trips I get about 25-26.
@@blakeroberts88 its better on the hwy thats for sure. City just kills it.
I will not give you any points for your complaint it won't go RWD. The whole Quattro system was built/designed with a FWD bias and you should have known that going into an Audi.
No it is not. The newer Audis are. Prior to 2020 all Audis are 60/40 rear biased powered Quattro’s. They always were get your facts straight.
@@chrisk920 well aren't you full of wrong info. The 60/40 only happened with the Torsen type "C" differential which was first introduced in 2006. Older audi's were mainly 50/50. Audi's didn't go fwd in 2020 as the new Quattro with Ultra was introduced in 2016. That means the car in this video has a Quattro system designed with a FWD bias making my comment legit. I could work on the wording I admit that. So as you confidently said, get your facts straight!
Honestly if you're going to own any sports car start learning to do the maintenance yourself if you don't want to spend crazy amounts on maintenance you'll need to spend on tools but it's way cheaper and if you use good parts and good oil for your routine maintenance it should last. Also anytime you upgrade in hp/tq you need to consider upgrading the rest before trying to push any car further than stock.
Agreed
Good video
I have audi s4 2005 rreally good car worst engine . Im looking for one this work buy one?
Dont buy an S6 Lol. Buy an E400 and tune it. Invest the rest of the 10’s of thousands youve saved. Unless you live in the snow lots. Bc Quattro is overrated on such an obese car anyways. Now on my 3500lb A4 its pretty fun. But yea avoid audi unless you like working on cars 👍
Whatta spaceship!
Stock S6 is 450 hp + stage 1 tune 100 hp = 580-600 ???
Take it on dyno buddy and you will find out..
APR Stage I ECU Upgrade
The APR Stage I ECU Upgrade requires no hardware modifications and is available with 553-578 HP and 588-635 FT-LBS of torque, depending on octane. Gains as high at +108-138 HP and +155-198 FT-LBS of torque are available throughout the power band! Thats from APR DYNOED bro
@@AUDIS477 The hp of the stock s6 is under stated.. its around 470. Do ur research buddy..
Unlike the Japanese and the American cars, especially the Audis, they’re always under tuned, and with a PR you never need to go above 4000 RPM to reach the maximum torque band. I love APRI want to marry someone from APR
gangsta fo reel
Stock turbos or upgraded?
Did you listen to the guy? He has a stock turbos. That car has 450 PHP out of the box just a simple APR stage one remap will give you an additional 100 HP and at least 150 additional foot pounds of pork. That’s why he’s having transmission problems 700 foot pounds of torque is insane. You need a transmission made out of granite to hold that.
Didnt the C7.5 S6 come with the ZF8 transmission which is an 8 speed? My C7 S6 comes with the DSG which is a 7 speed.
No the Facelift has the same 7 speed dsg. Only the RS models and the S8 have the 8 speed ZF.
RS, s8 and the a7 and a6 bitdi has the zf
3:44 if you can afford such a car, you should be afford to maintain it. What you mentioned are not the car's faults…😳
Lol what about door and trunk seals, turbo oil screens? my fault?
@@DannyDayz what about them ?
@@k_meiz it’s not his fault Audi decided to put in too fine of a oil screen filter lmao
@@emricscriven6886 Audi is doing a recall for it.
The things he listed aren’t even related to maintenance, he’s not selling the car cause he can’t afford it lol. These are faults of audi
300+ hp: “do a tune, stock car is not it” 😂 bro my a6 does 211 and I tuned it to stage 1 300hp i need tunes! I’m valid with this s6 stock that’s how I got to this video
jsut didn't want to get smoked by m's & amg's )
@@DannyDayzwhat year was it?!
Bro...the s6 doesn't compete against an m5...it goes against the m550i...the rs cars goes against amg and m
Dudes like this that cant work on their vehicles make it cheap for someone like me (ex audi tech) to scoop these up cheap. $3k for brakes?? bwahahahaha! Danny boy you need to go get a toyota camry.
Congrats buddy
Even a dealer here want's less than $2k for front brakes. Stay away from Disc Italia, mine warped badly after a few thousand miles. Looked awesome though with the drill and slots.
lmao treated this boys life.
or WhATevR.
You sound inbred, unintelligent, and slow brotha.
Nobody should take kids like these seriously.
What, you bought a nice car cuz your mommy and daddy have money??
Fkoutta here repin ATL boa.
Couldn't agree more.
Got a B8 S4 in great shape for a steal of a price cause it needed a few things.
$1000 later and its mint, drove for 35k 0 issues.
Going in 3 weeks to take deliver of my 2016 S6 Black Optics, so hyped!
Why he show his plates🤣
Do you think the A6 3.0T TFSI is better bang for buck?
No stack money and buy s6
The A6 Elimiates two very costly areas of the S6. The air suspention and the Turbos. Mine's in the shop now with a colapsed air suspention. Full stage 2 on an A6 can be as quick as a Stage 1 S6 for a bit less money.
@@datsuntoyy plus the S6 is boring to drive and a bad value. Completely. Unreliable design, and its not the fastest tbh. With a simple tune my E400 Coupe could be that speedy. 580 Hp on a 4500 lb car is trumped from 490 on a 3660 lb car. Thats 7.75 pounds per horsepower vs my 7.5. So your choice, you want to spend 60k to get an audi and a v8 sound? Or 30k for MAG-Ride and the same/better power. Due to weight. Yes my 3.0 V6 can beat that. Buy C400’s/E400’s they are sleepers guys.
@@MercedesMan The S6 is definately not a boring drive. I've got 122k on mine and it's still very likely the best car I've ever been in. It may not be the speediest, but it'll match a Hellcat through 60 mph and I get better city milage than the Hellcat does on the highway. The twin turbo S6 also has nearly the same milage rating as the Merc's 6 at considerably more power. I'd also say I've seen many tests on E400's with stage 1 and 2 tunes and none approaching a 3.5 0-60.
I'd agree with cost of ownership, it's up there. Then again, from what I've read so is the Merc. I'd take the S6 over an E any day of the week.
That a six as a much more reliable engine. That’s why they’re still using it. The supercharged V6 although they’ve had that V8 for 20 years, how they could screw it up is beyond me.
People want to buy Audi, BMW, Mercedes etc because they want to feel special they're driving a German luxury car. The people these cars were initially target to (people who buy them new) don't care the costs, they lease or get the warranties and have enough money to own them. People who buy them used cheap, think they're getting a bargain, but they don't realize they're going to have to pay a lot of money maintaining it. They're not buying a Toyota or Mazda, they're buying formerly expensive German cars that were 60k+ new and will pay for the maintenance on $60-100k cars which is expensive..
facts, I think leasing Germans makes a lot of sense.
OMG, really? High-performance German luxury sedans are expensive to fix? You must have read that in the newspaper or some thing. I’ve never heard anything like that on the Internet.🙃
I hate that it looks almost the same as an A class
Facts but imagine buying a telsa p100d and having the same interior as the baseline model s audi s6 gives you diamond stitching that's similar to a Lamborghini com on son
What a clown. Lol. He thinks a Mercedes is going to be different. Water drops on the exterior of the car when it rains 😆 brake dust 😆 buys ecu tune but no tcu tune.
Okay uncle🤣 get your self some money and buy one of those s6s instead of hating on a 21 year old immigrant that’s already doing it better than you👌🏼
@@DannyDayz I’m not hating on you buying one lol. Get your MB and then see if the maintenance is cheaper.
Why would I hate? I never wanted an S6. I got an S4 because they mod better, are lighter and faster. I’m just telling you the reality of a luxury car. It will be expensive for maintenance regardless. Also if there’s a separate tune for the engine and trans get them both
@@curtdragon understood👌🏼
@@curtdragon lol you must be smoking a big rock if you think the s4 is faster

WHY YOU SELLING IT???
Unable to switch the car to 2wd and drift it
(Like m5 f90 and e63s)
Audi is REAL AWD NOT FAKE 4WD THAT SWITCH'S
I know you probably already sold it but ecs makes a bolt on kit to go RWD only on the B8s and C7s
buying a sport car and talking about mpg...
I'm taking about what I want buddy
Tbh s6 is not a Sports car its a more luxury model than a6 thats all.
Lmk if your willing to do private sale
Sold already
He should ask his parents if he is allowed to sell it
Lol
54,000 views on UA-cam? I think Danny has a much easier job that you do bro.
Hey man you are fancy you can afford it,dnt sell it
If a person is going to the dealership trying to be cool! Your a idiot lol 💯😂! Find a independent foreign mechanic that works on Audi’s! Way cheaper!!!!! 💯💪🏾! Nice Audi bro 🙌🏽
You got that right brother! I wouldn’t go to a dealer to put air in my tires! They charge $135 an hour? To change brakes? The guys in the shop make about $25 an hour it’s not rocket science.
The new Audis are front wheel drive biased. They change the Quattro system. I bought a 2020 A4 and drove it around for a month and I thought I was driving a Toyota Camry. I traded it in for a proper one 2017 S6 and got some money back to.👍
Jersey! Check out my S6 😎
17mm in the front? Wtf? This video is hilarious. Knows nothing about the recall or options to handle small factory return screens. Confuses brake dust to leaking brake “oil”. It’s like a Keen and Peele Audi edition. Those paddles should show who is driving. Just another _____ with money to buy a car and not know basic car ownership. Probably takes his care to JiffyLube for oil and brake changes. The only reason I bought my C7.5 S6 was because, a majority of those were unable to maintain such a vehicle and also followed the recall for the turbo return filters. Plus, I love working on German vehicles. I see a leased Honda in your future.
Хорош английский
I almost fo' got. If you want performance get a ctsv. This for rich people only.
Cadillac? You must be crazy.
LoL just say it. Too expensive
No idea what he's talking about
Then please don’t buy a German car by a Honda Accord or a Toyota Camry stop watching these videos please
The reason why you are selling car is so funny, you sell it because of brake dust on wheels? HAHAHA change pads for ceramic and your problem will be solved if no, buy a quick detailer and after wash just spray on wheels and you will see a differnce.. if you want to take off quattro maybe u can do it in ECU, but the quattro is the best what you can get.
Many reasons. Car is great just not that exciting. It’s not exceptional in any way. Great starter tho.
Only one minus it is not Tesla ;)
lol if Tesla only plaid
I can match a P85D tesla ( done it twice) and beat an Model 3 performance. The 85 was considerably my expensive. The quality of the Audi is TONS higher! Take a look at how badly the seats look on a 3 year old Tesla S. My 9 year old S6 look almost brand new.
