hindlpet Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Hi, Missed my S8 so much that after 12 months with a Legacy (shame I hear you shout) I bought an '09 RS6 Avant (yeay!). So with a 1 year Audi warranty I pick up Crankcase oil seal leak so the engines coming out tomorrow. So with the S8 - the received wisdom was to replace cam belt and water pump while the engine is out. Any advice for the RS6? I know there's no cam belt to worry about. Have heard about oil hoses which would normally mean front off. Anything else? Any suggestions really appreciated. Cheers Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser647 Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Git, git, git, git, git. Have a read on here, there is a chap here with a saloon V10 RS6, that has been breathed upon to the tune of 700 horse (IIRC). He might have some info for you? Oh, you git! Any pictures you can stick up? You git! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindlpet Posted January 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Haha! Will do. Mine hasn't been breathed upon so severely but does benefit from a Milltek catback. So I'd guess more than stock 571bhp. Photos not on phone but will post. Thanks for your help P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calm Chris Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 I so hope you have a sponsored fuel card, or have no concept of cost to drive being an issue. Lovely, and should be used as the daily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Not sure where you are based but oddly enough I was having a chat with Simon at AMD (in Woking) earlier today who said he does loads of V10 engines now, maybe he is worth a call. He also explained that to sort out the MAF sensor is an engine out job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser647 Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 What did he say was worng with the V10s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Nothing in particular, he just gets loads of them. He did say there isn't a huge amount of room around them, and of course the MAF sensor comment sounded expensive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindlpet Posted January 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 La la la la! Not listening. Only just bought mine. Don't want to drive frightened (by the costs at any rate), P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser647 Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Where the hell is the MAF then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racergtr Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Hi Andrew Really ! Simon at AMD said engine out for MAF sensor replacement? There are no Audi or Lambo V10 engines that have MAF sensors they used MAP based Bosch ME9 family ecu's. Trust me I own one and also own a tuning garage who genuinely does loads of these. Thanks Stuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Well perhaps he said something else. I'm no engineer. MAP sounds a bit like MAF no? Maybe you need to direct me to a hearing aid centre ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuprabob Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 MAF - Mass Airflow Sensor MAP - Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
