Assessing the Dirt Cheap V10 Audi S6: Misfires, Faulty Coils, and Potential Repairs

In this episode of Car Throttle, the lads bring us the tale of their Dirt Cheap V10 Audi S6, a car that they managed to snag for a steal. Now, despite its alluring V10 soundtrack, this Audi has a laundry list of issues that would make even the hardiest of mechanics weep. Smoke billowing from the front? That's just oil, my friends. And let's not forget its sketchy past as a former police repossession. But despite all its flaws, the lads have a soft spot for this rare beast.

To determine if this Audi is worth saving, the team pays a visit to V10 specialist Re-Performance. The owner, Ricky, takes one look at the car and can't help but crack a joke. But beneath the banter, he knows there's work to be done. The car's features are a mixed bag - some don't work at all, like the center screen and headlights, while others, like the A/C and heated seats, surprisingly do. It's a mystery wrapped in German engineering.

As they delve deeper into the car's issues, they discover multiple misfires in the engine. It seems the coils and plugs are in dire need of replacement. Thankfully, they have Carly, a nifty diagnostic tool, to help them pinpoint the problems. Oil in the spark plug holes suggests a potential seal issue, which could be a costly fix. And let's not forget the brakes and suspension that need attention too. The costs start adding up, and the lads are faced with a tough decision: is it worth pouring time and money into this Audi?

But even with all its quirks and flaws, the team can't help but appreciate the character of this V10 beast. They consider the option of straight piping it, unleashing its full potential. After all, who needs functioning headlights when you have a roaring exhaust note? It's a dilemma that only true petrolheads can understand. So, will they save this Audi from its troubled past, or will they bid farewell to the V10 symphony? Tune in to find out.
