What's the build up of the 100KG+ for the MHEV as it's not actually propelling the car? On my 2022 S6 it only appears to be a 48V battery, 48V starter/alternator and a 48V turbo motor??

Fairly sure it is. I'm now bias but it felt more planted and less pitch and roll. Not to be too blunt about it but these are mile munching exec cars with some added oomph. I regular do 275 mile trips without a stop, get 41+ MPG while still 'making progress', have some fun and I get out ready to do a days work. My wife hates it, too big and too many lights and buttons but this just given me more opportunity to drive it. The difference between Eco and Dynamic is marked in mine but even in Dynamic the 4-wheel steering maybe making some of the sensation you are expecting, compared to my E350d Merc I had before it took some time to get full attuned. Interestingly I have a client that took delivery of an RS6 at the same time as I got my S6, he has no idea what's under his right foot as he doesn't use it and his eats tyres, maybe that how they make it feel more direct! Can you get Matrix headlights on the current S6? I was told mine was one of the last to get them because of component shortages and Audi wouldn't be reintroducing them until the next gen was released.

Having driven bot a Vorsprung and a none Vorsprung S6 prior to purchasing mine they are both very component cars and both have a pleasant ride quality with one up, where the Vorsprung wins hands down is when towing and/or fully loaded you just don't know on the air suspension. Other than the MPG I'm not really aware I'm towing 1.4 tonnes and carrying 150Kg in the boot! My decision was also based on mine being a keeper. I've always been a firm believer they you add as few option as possible because these cost for these is generally written off the day it leaves the showroom (with a few exceptions) so I'm hoping mine will be worth a lot more than an A6 with lots and lots of options as and when it's time to move it on in 9 years time.

Steve, I have no issues with the Brembo product, I trust the brand. My original post states your feedback possibly negates the last six words, thankyou. I have no wish to spent many thousands on a ceramic solution but so far nobody has come up with an alternate. I might try a set of the Brembo's on the front of my car and feedback to Joe, as requested, before changing to a ceramic solution (if one exists) and if they don't resolve my issue. Finally, and with all due respect, your perspective is wrong and you clearly don't know me.

I might be misreading the Brembo document but surly once the disks have done a few miles the coating will have warn away and we'll be back to surface rust??

Cheers, I'll given them a go.

Firstly, is this possible? Was it ever an option on the C8 S6's? If so how do I get a parts explosion/breakdown for the the current "non-ceramic" and "ceramic" brake options so I can create a shopping list? I'm not looking for performance reasons, I'm looking because the car is kept outdoors 50m for the sea. The car is protected to hell and kept clean but I can't do anything about the brake disks and it's torcher listening the the grinding of the pad and disks every time it' rubbing off the surface rust, let alone the reduction is lifespan! Friend/neighbour has a GT3 and an M3 both both ceramic disks and doesn't have an issues even though he has his parked outside as well. Cheers

I'll second this, top bit of kit.

Gary / Steve, thank you for your feedback.

Does this generation of car have a traction control type indicator that flashed when the systems have jumped in to stop the wheels loosing traction? I'm used to driving cars on track without any traction control so my driving style is probably different to someone who's grown up with it but I'm trying to explain why my car is eating rear brake pads. Fronts at 15% warn after 18K miles but the rears are 60% warn. If there isn't an indicator I'm just going to have to modify my driving style🙃.

Every time I get in the car and start it I get the Pre Sense indicator. It goes away after 5-10s, is this normal?

Interesting, I got in the car 17:45 on Sat and no call or destination history. Drove the car for 30 mins, picked up a meal and when I got back in and started the car everything back to normal. Only thing that was slightly odd was I didn't get the user prompt until after the engine had started. Has the quick access bar gone back to it's original location?

The wording that caught my eye was "turn off the car a message comes up on the top screen saying xxxx is registered", I don't see this when I switch off my car. I get the prompt for the user to login as but not when I turn it off, how do you enable this?

So far so good. Just in diagnostics mode researching a possible issue / issues. Very easy to use and fairly logical app.
