Wasn't expensive for me and I've owned the C7.5 S6 for about 2 years. I use plugs and coils from FCP and swap them yearly. Using the stage 1 IE tune with E85 and power is perfect. No need for downpipe or RS turbos

The thumbnail says it all. 😂😂 The best new gen Audi to buy looks like the SQ7. They’re big and heave but they make a ton of power with simple mods.

You need one man! Go for the C8

I'm what you described at 6:40 - I'm looking at 2014 Audi S6/56k Miles, priced for about $28K, I looked up the VIN to see if the recall for the oil screen was fixed, nothing came up, I'm a bit confused when it comes to that, what percentage of Audi's had the problematic oil screen? If I call any Audi service dept, will they be able to see how the Audi was built (built using a different oil screen)/ to see if it has a recall that was addressed/ to see that it had an open recall and if it does would I pay anything out of pocket to have the oil screen recall serviced? I called the Used dealer in Maryland (where I live) I'm buying it from, I wanted to test drive it, but they said it's under MSI (MD state inspection) which makes me feel more at ease as MSI is a fairly strict inspection also so that I don't have to pay for the inspection or repairs myself I were to buy out of state. Carfax history is honestly phenomenal compared to other Audis, 2 Owner, and both of them serviced them early and frequently How much am I looking to spend maintaining the vehicle every year? and my biggest concern is the oil screen. Thanks

So with that case you want to get as much detail on service records as possible. From what I have seen ALL Audi 4.0T models (A8/S8, S6/S7/RS7) 2012-2018 are affected by the oil screen issue. Also keep in mind, even if service records show the oil screen TSB was performed and a "revised screen" was installed, its still inherently a terrible design having that oil screen as a potential restriction. Don't let the oil screen concern alone scare you away from these cars, but just please be mindful of it. Most people once they get their hands on these cars they are focusing on upgrades and/or reliability and in order to support that you're replacing turbos along with removing the oil screen altogether. My old 2013 S6 had 69K on the stock turbos when I got it (clean one owner car, never previously modified) When we did the overhaul at the shop, the stock turbos we're nearly siezed up. I always say You must budget for replacing all of those related components. Often times I hear people say dealers won't replace worn stock turbos during the oil screen recall if the shaft play isnt bad enough. So like I said in the video, you NEED to have some funds set aside if you plan on getting one of these cars. Hope that helps!

Is 145k a concern for the 4.0t? Looking at a '16 for 16k seems clean but mileage and repair costs for audi are a bit daunting. Just fits my price range for a toy

I mean it's likely gonna need 10k+ in repairs at that mileage. Even then wouldn't surprise me if you're gonna be dealing with oil consumption issues as well. I'd pass on that myself

You gotta boost the audio up for your next video.
