Hi everyone. I am from Croatia and I am looking to buy 2013 S6. Can you tell me something about maintenance, running costs and what to watch when buying? We have bad choice of cars in Croatia so I would import one from Germany. I am planning to put Milltek valvesonic catback with RS6 rear diffuser with RS6 exhaust tips. Can you recommend me what downpipes and ECU tuning to get? I was looking in APR tuning and downpipes.

Thank you for your help

Maintenance is easy but not cheap for parts. Among other things it takes 9 quarts of synthetic oil every 10K miles. Major maintenance is US is expensive. Brakes cost $3K perhaps nearly $2K for the OEM parts alone. Make sure the gas line and turbo seals have been fixed under recall and the rest depends on mileage. Check this site for other issues, but I've had none in $38K miles.

In addition to the expensive maintenance, it has to be done more often than many other cars. Needs brakes every 35k miles, DSG fluid/filter every 40k.

I could be wrong but I remember seeing the RS6 diffuser is not a direct fit.
