Default URGENT need help! - 2012 S6 have no air suspension?

Need some help here as I just bought a pre-own S6 from Audi Hong Kong.

The SA told me that for yr 2012, there's no air suspension and not even have that audi drive select menu on the screen. Is that true???

Understand different market may have different standard options but I checked Audi's website and it seems that air-suspension is a standard equip. for all countries.

It bothers me as I do hope to get the feature as it may give a better ride quality.

Is it with a 10 cyl. engine or 4.0TT? I believe 2012 was the previous generation (not C7).

I don't know that there actually was a 2012 S6, at least not in the US.

MY2012 was the start for the refreshed A6, which means that the V10 S6 would have been discontinued after 2011 and that the 4.0TT wouldn't have been released until 2013.

Correct...

try searching thru any parts site for 2012 audi s6...you won't find one.

However, I think there was a Euro version never delivered to the states...

It's a C7 S6, 4.0T. As I know, cars in HK are following euro standard.

Yes. checking the VIN again it's a MY2013 but the car was delivered in 2012.
Sales reconfirmed again there's no audi drive select for my build.

All MY2013 builds in the U.S. had the air suspension. I'm not sure about the international markets though - you might want to contact Audi corporate.

Have you tried:

?

It seems feasible that some international markets got the C7 before the air suspensions parts were ready to roll out. I did a quick search and couldn't find any such cases on U.S. or EU cars, but I guess it's not outside of the realm of possibilities.
