Hi,

Should I be avoiding upgraded RS6's? Do they suffer more unreliability if done properly, ie are there any mechanical weaknesses in the RS6's?

The one I am interested in has had a 535bhp upgrade by MTM completed on it.

Thanks,
Rich.

should be fine...quite a few dealers used to offer the MTM stuff and warranty it anyway - try www.rs246.com for lots of info

It's worth the upgrade for the gearbox remap alone....... Much better car for it

Not sure what Krusty has found (obviously, I'm not Krusty) but the gears seem to be where you need them better.

If that makes any sense at all, which is probably doesnt.

Wot he said......
Gear change is faster and smoother. It doesn't 'jump' (if that makes sense) downshifting at lower speeds either. It's a very noticeable improvement

Guys,

Thanks for the feedback.. Do the upgrade effect resale values?
