    RS6 owners manual?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Question for USA RS6 owners, did your RS6 Avant come with an owners manual and if it did. Is it specific to the RS6? Mine did not come with one from the dealership when I picked it up. I was, however given an A6 (sedan- not Avant) manual. Its been a few.weeks and I circled back with the dealership and they said that the RS6 does not have an owners manual. I cant believe Audi would sell a $150k car without an owners manual... please let me know if anyone elses Avant came with a manual. Thank you

    Was mentioned on the main thread, but regular A6 manual seems to be the one everyone’s getting.

    My RS5 came with an A5 manual and am expecting my RS6 to be something similar.

    They've switched to a cardboard sleeve rather than a black book type sleeve unfortunately.

    If you read the manual, certain parts and sections refer to "RS Models". I agree not what I expected for a car at this price level.
    Current:
    2011 R8 V10 6MTM Coupe, Phantom Black on black, carbon side blades, mirrors and interior, Fabspeed Motorsports exhaust
    2021 RS6 Avant, Nardo Grey on black, carbon optic, red ceramic brakes

    2017 A3 S-Line, Florett Silver on Black

    I was given an A6 manual as well. Probably a cost cutting measure.

    Is there something that is not covered in the regular manual that is specific to the RS6 that you'd like more information on?

    thanks for the response. I was looking at the custom configuring of the display when in either of the RS modes- which I believe I have figured out through process and elimination but wanted to confirm other functionality. Also wanted to see if there was any other information that I didnt yet know. many times I've gone literally years with a car and not know "it can do that"... I also just mainly wanted to peruse the manual and see if the RS range had any other bells and whistles specific to the RS. No big deal really, spending time behind the wheel seems to help figure things out. still find it strange that there isnt an RS6 exclusive manual with a case similar to the R8's

    What about service manuals? Are those available to the public? I like to do my own work so wouldnt mind having a service manual.

    I would doubt it. Years back Audi went to a web based service manual (along with many other things, ODIS). It is based on a individual log in permission, I lost my access when I left the dealership world.

    Picked up my RS6 today after specifically asking about the manual. SA said they had manual in hand. Manual was presented but only checked at home, my bad. Manual was for a 2020 A4. Circling back with SA and will post updates. Other than that... psyched.

    Dealer UPS’d me an A6 manual immediately. Seems to be what others are getting. Now to start reading and driving...
