Audi RS6 quirks and features (C7)

A very detailed review of the C7 Audi RS6. What's it like to live with? Where are the buttons? What are the "Quirks and Features" as Doug DeMuro would say? I hope you enjoy some more RS6 content and lots more detail on the car. It's a dream come true to own. Very expensive. Not very reliable. Very loveable though.

Thanks for the great in-depth video. It's getting hard to find C7 owner's hands-on videos and this is one of the best on YouTube.

I just bought a c7 rs6, 2014 plate and i too never thought id own one!

No air ride but i got the panoramic roof, also mapped to 650hp 800nm torque!!

Cant wait to pick it up.

10:27 this is for the same screen separating the cargo area from the passenger area, when the rear seats are lowered

at 12:30, that 'bose container' is the subwoofer.... not that you really need it with that gorgeous exhaust sound

You can code with VCDS also lid closing from remote :)

I have a C7.5, the facelift, in the same colour. I found a RS6 Performance with the carbon pack and the dynamic suspension, but I often wish i found one without the carbon and with air suspension because it would be the greatest tow car in the world.

We have many of the same opinions. I, too, wanted the V10 one after seeing it on Top Gear Australia, where it absolutely destroyed a VE HSV Clubsport Wagon, which is powered by a 6.2L LS3. But then I heard a C7 in a video. Instantly changed my mind, haha.

One quirk on mine, I have a data sim card from a mobile usb modem in mine. It makes the car a mobile WiFi hotspot that you can connect to with your phone, laptop, etc. I haven't put a phone sim card in it before, so I can't speak to what that will do. I connect my phone to the MMI via Bluetooth, and when I use the phone in the car menu to make calls, it dials via my mobile phone.

Good vid, thinking of getting one, and your video gave more info about it than every other review I've seen.

I'm glad its not just me that finds the 'special button' and the voice commands to be totally useless.

I also found that the car would automatically play music each time you started it, or forget what volume you had it set to last. So was always startling when turning it on.
I have to just leave the car set to AUX as the input so make sure its quiet.

I like to use the auto-hill-hold, but have found it to be quite jerky when starting off compared to an RS3, which was very smooth. I believe that there's an option for it in VCDS though... amongst other things (close boot on remote press for example!)

But agree, even though its got it's niggles, its still a fantastic car.

At 4:13 what did you do to cause the air suspension to start lowering?

[edjohn]

Awesome video! Beautiful car!
Was the Alcantara roofliner an option in these models?

[Alan-mbzy]

Great video with so much useful information. Thanks for both the effort and the information 😁

Im not sure why your tailgate wont close on the keyfob - mine does and ive not plugged it into VCDS yet. Also, the rear diffuser that covers your tow bar- mine is constantly threatening to fall off! Ive replaced to clips, via Audi, but ive still had to resort to using sticky back tape to hold it in 😂
Also, if you want Andriod Auto/Apple carplay, its 'fairly' easy to install. Get a unit ordered from Intergrated automotive. UK based company. Reeeeally helpful chaps. Haha also the belt tensioner option has nothing to do with the engine belts 😂 its the seat belt tensioners. I dont think Audi would let you forgot to select this option then have the engine belts constantly slipping...

I love these cars, will prob never own one but man it's up there as my dream car. Hope you enjoy her for many years to come 🫡

Another video to cement (in my mind anyway), why I *need* to own one of these before the electric brigade finally get their way and the dino juice guzzlers finally get consigned to the history channels for good. In all seriousness though, I'll definitely be in the market for a C7 next spring when I look to upgrade from my current B8 S4. Thankfully, there are lots of great examples around and most seem to be well documented and looked after by the (usually well heeled) previous owners. It'll definitely be my swan song so no doubt there will be months of acting like a kid on xmas eve and pestering my wife to look along at all my new bookmarked listings from the usual marketplaces. Only november and I'm gibbering already...

Almost forgot, great vid - thanks for sharing!

[fatblokescanfly]

Are you still getting on well with your red rs6? Great

[simondawkins]

Good video, lots of helpful tips for a soon to be owner.

[Jole]

Hi, i liked youre video. I learned some new features. have a a6 allroad c7, but would love to buy a rs6.
In the drive select, top right corner, it says «rise». Can you rise the car if your for example is going offroad? Do you know high above the ground it gets then?
Any idea how high it can get with vcds?

[DavidLiburd-gs]

A stunning example in a stunning colour. Just out of interest, what mpg are you averaging?

[Adrian_The_Great]

That colour is stunning. Mine is Silver Grey but doesnt look as impressive

[Gaffnaldo]

Feels like ive grew up and old watching this channel - talk about stamina
