I haven't seen this posted in this S6 forum but need some guidance. As is well documented in other forums, the S6 turbos are prone to failure. This is where I am at. Repairs are $10k plus for OEM replacement. 87k miles on the car, have spent way too much on repairing it over the past 4 years - brakes, air shocks, maintenance. I think I need to sell it but don't want to discount the book value for repairs needed - would like to sell to a shop that can absorb the cost of labor. Any thoughts on options for exiting?

 

Sorry your having such issues - 20+ years with 7 Audi’s (three S models) and zero issues…

I doubt your going to be able to sell without the issues resolved, good luck…

 

There is an approved recall for these cars exactly for this reason - provided your turbos are stock you should be eligible to bring it to the dealer and have it covered under this recall.

Check with a few local dealers and ask if they are able to perform the repairs under recall.
