Hello all. I'm extremely excited to have purchased my first S6 (2014). It's been a unbelievable car so far. Drives like a kitten when in Eco mode and turns savage when you get it into Dynamaic mode. I've really enjoyed this care so far. I bought it just out of warranty with 50,000 miles and have purchased an extended warranty for the next 4 years as I know any repair on this car will be rediculous. As a new owner, I was hoping to have some of the past and current S6 owners chime in on a few questions I have so far:

1. It seems that both my turbos were replaced under factory warranty around the 45k mark. Has anyone else had their turbos go bad around that same mileage? It seems quiote low to me and worries me a bit that maybe the previous owner drove it really hard? Can anyone comment on this issue? I hope that turbos only have a 50k life...

2. I'm in Tampa, FL and will probably take my care to Reeves Audi for all service but I did see a few other German specialty shops in teh area and was wondering if anyone in the area has used any of them and if so, are there any they woukld recommend over taking directly to Audi for work/service? Are indepdnednt shops typically cheaper on repairs and hourly rates charged?

3. I love everything about teh car so far but I wish it had a little more of an exhaust note. Are there chips you can buy to modulate or enhance the sound to give a little more edge or maybe a aliitle more burble when at idle and more sound upon hard accelrations? I don;t want it to sounf like a Mustang 5.0 but I definitely want to give it a little more attitude when driven hard.

Thank you for anyone willing to give me any pointers or direction on these questions. I'm hopefully looking to many fun years in this care !

Thanks for the tip Gary. All of these numbers are SO confusing! LOL.

at first, I was the same way. I have an 06 A6, which is also known as a C6. each class of car the 4s 5s 6s and classes A, S, RS are grouped by year production runs. so A6/S6 froom 05 to something like 2012 are all in the C6 group, and then you have sub groups in some of the so there are C6.5 or post facelifts. Once you get used to it, it is not so bad.
