- Comfort. Space. Luxury. Technology. Oh yeah, and a 5.2-liter V10 engine from Lamborghini. Now really, is there anything more you could want? The 2007 Audi S6 offers it all. The only thing its missing is Megan Fox in the back seat. If she heard the noises that the 5.2 liter V10 engine makes, hell she might jump in! When you APR tune it and add an exhaust, the 2007 Audi S6 turns into a 450 horsepower luxurious animal.

Just bought one for my kiddo. We bought it with a known oil leak. It was what we thought. Cost about 2k to fix. Mostly labor as they had to pull the manifold. Super sweet car! I had a V10 R8 and this is much more comfortable to drive. We also have a super clean wrap on it!
Your kid is so lucky
Just bought a 2011 for my birthday. God it sounds amazing. Can't wait to take into work Monday morning. What a beast. 👍👍👍👍💪
You have to own one to truly appreciate it .mine just kept growing and growing on me
Tom Brady had 1 when he was living in Marina Bay back in the early days as a starter. Was the first and only time I'd seen the v10 option.
Great vid! I have had my "16 for a couple of years now and I still find excuses to go run errands!! Keeps this old boy young!
wanna add a correction for ya as a V10 S6 owner myself -
The 5.2L is a very separate motor from the 5.0L gallardo V10, a distant cousin at best. HOWEVER, as lamborghini is a subsidiary of volkswagen, the later model 5.2 lambo V10's are mechanically IDENTICAL to this powerplant. The result? You can safely say that this S6 engine inspired the 5.2L lambos. The only differences at that point are forged internals and forced induction for the lambo 5.2L.
The S6/S8 made the lambo 5.2L V10, not the other way around :)
Forced induction for the Lambo 5.2L ? Huh ?
@@nvl2691 forced induction means supercharging or turbocharging.
@@Zomgcookei Of course I know haha, I'm just confused, Lamborghini's 5.2L has always been naturally aspirated?
Only the Audi derivative was twin-turbocharged, I guess that's what you meant ?
@@nvl2691 the Audi s6 is a naturally aspirated V10, the motor placed in the gallardo is twin-turboed
@@Zomgcookei No... the only turbocharged V10 VAG has ever produced, apart from the V10 TDI, was the 5.2L found in the C6 RS6. The Gallardo was always naturally aspirated...
Another great Audi entry for the HUB. Great job Jake.
I love this car like no other. Just as in the same-generation RS6, the transmission was easily its Achilles heel
i’ve been looking into buying one of these, great review
I heard that there are some superchargers for this car. Look up Pes Tuning.
@@Lil-Sauce69 I doesn't need a supercharger. A complete exhaust system with headers, intake spacers and a tune will net over 500 whp.
@@nvl2691 Lol. No it won't. These put out 435 at the crank. Your not gonna gain that much from headers,exhaust and a tune
You prolly dont give a shit but if you guys are stoned like me during the covid times you can stream pretty much all the new series on instaflixxer. Been streaming with my brother for the last couple of months :)
@Roy Uriah yup, I have been watching on instaflixxer for months myself :D
Sick video as always!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
dude amazing review
Great work 👌
nice video,good job!
bro this car is pretty awesome. def gonna put this on my wishlist
Some caveats about the C6 S6 though. The fancy intake manifolds do in fact fail then the internal flaps no longer work... that's around 2 grand to fix. The direct injected engines also get that lovely carbon build up so you get to clean them... to the tune of 1200-1500 at most shops. Steering column module failures were sort of a C6 A6/S6 thing as well. And the final and most notable buzz kill being the potential failure of the timing chain guides. Granted, it isn't as common on the V10 engines as the V8s from a few years earlier but I've seen more than one suffer this failure now and it costs more than the car is worth to repair at most shops. The most important thing to understand before going into ownership is that Audi stands for Actual Use Devours Income. Dealer part pricing is nothing short of insulting and in general, Audi's support for it's older models is almost criminal in the USA. You'll very quickly start playing the "NLA" game and hunting for parts all over the internet. Audi might have the parts in Germany or in their Audi Tradition catalog online but they don't seem to want to sell them here.
With all that said, they are still cool cars that make nice noises while killing a tank of fuel in no time. The conventional suspension is actually a bonus as the S8 (and seemingly all air bag equipped cars) end up "sucking air" and needing major overhauls as they age. Bags are best used for groceries... ;-) Definitely do lots of homework before taking the leap on a cheap example. Service history up the wazoo is essential.
Darin Nederhoff Yes. That’s y they use a v8 now.... more dependable.
Just get an oil seperator oil problem solved
@@mikhailvershinin2292 I agree that helps the situation. It doesn't solve the problem in the long run but can potentially prolong the cleaning intervals.
All direct injection cars have that issue but like the guy said, oil catch can helps a ton. You can also clean the intake valves yourself but if you don’t like turning wrenches no old german car is right for you.
I have never heard that AUDI analogy before lol that's amazing. Still love them though haha
I purchased one of these 6 months ago with my sister and there are some important things to know before buying one of these.
To start, The repairs are extremely EXPENSIVE! Over 100,000 miles these cars fall apart.
We had suspension need replacement at over 4500, oil pressure sensor was about 2000 dollars to replace after it failed dumping all the car's oil. Additionally thr alternator went out which cost 3500 dollars to replace. Thr part alone is 2000 dollars. These cars also leak lots of oil. Timing chain cover oil leaks require engine out service which is several thousand and currently the oil pan is leaking which is a 2000 dollar fix. None of this includes the failed intake replacement at 2000 dollars or routine maintenance. 1500 for decent tires, 1400 for spark plugs (every 50k miles), 1200 for carbon cleaning (every 60k miles), valve cover gasket leak is about 1100 to fix and injectors and coils are also 2000 to replace.
These cars are incredible, but budget like 20,000 dollars just in repairs after buying one of these if plan to daily it and drive it hard. They're so expensive it is honestly hilarious.
Sorry to hear those extreme numbers... When I had 'friend mechanic' in my life, every mile was expensive and half of the screws were missing. Once he started a story with 3750eur for rear left calliper change, yea right, I fixed it for 8(eight) euros - calliper restore kit, one bag of orings. It was a wakeup call. Now I do DIY. I change susspension on each wheel for 135eur, valve cover gasket is 22eur each, each injector 60eur, oil pan I changed for 100eur, spark plug 20 bucks each, coil little more than spark, I carbon cleaned for free, it took 2 nights in a garage. I'm not a mechanic, I'm a 12V electrician. I watch how to fix cars on youtube, buy material and tools that I see on screen and everytime it worked, easily :) I run this car S8v10 for last 5 years cheaper than any audi I had in last 20 years. Maybe I'm lucky not to have any major issues. I drive a lot and I have today about 300k km on the counter and car fells rock solid and 5x more reliable than wifes A4 2016. You are right, they're amazing cars to drive, but they gets you scared when they need some service :))))
The only thing I could complain about in this video was his shoes choice but other than that great video. Wish more were like this.
Great job Jake! Maybe I should pick one up as a daily driver. I need to start saving😄
Okay I think it's time to address the elephant in the room. What the hell is that chirping sound?!!!
i just bought one yesterday and i get it on friday. it was around $7,600 but my god was it worth it !!!
l
How has it been? ive been looking to get the exact same one for 8k with 90K miles. Do you recommend as a daily driver?
@@Th3RapidFir3 $8k for a 2011 S6 with only 90k miles? Yeah...get that lol..
@@Th3RapidFir3 Lol. What's wrong with it? That's too good to be true f9r that price bud.
How reliable has it been? If you still own it..
Just bought an S8!
Great video man and thanks for the awesome review. I only live once I'm going to buy one this weekend for my 40th birthday it well maintained with plenty of service records. Wish me luck I can't wait to bring it home.
How’s it going with it I’m getting one on Friday also???!
@@matthewjohnson2256 Hey Matt congratulations man you are going to love your new car. Mine starts a runs like a monster everyday and brings a smile to my face still after almost a year. Good luck and welcome to the V-10 club. 👍
hey man , congrats on yours, I bought mine beginning of 2019 . such a joy. love it every time I drive it, only problem is that I don't like, is arriving at my destination, I don't want to get out of it and keep driving. just took out the mufflers, sounds bit loud , but stock exhaust was too quiet . will get the JHM exhaust eventually. just to remind you to do a proper carbon clean every few years, otherwise it can damage your intake manifold . enjoy bro
Bro I have one now I have a lot of questions 😅
I’m watching this while driving my dads old Toyota Camry lmao
dont drive while on your phone bro
My next car for sure. I'd like to try to get a 2010 or 2011 model however as they look a bit more modern. Great video man, had me laughing a bit haha.
Yeah the next gen looks much better but this is the engine noise to have the 2012 is gorgeous tho
@@eddiegutierrez7861 I ended up becoming a Merc fanboy. RIP Audi. I'll never leave my E-Class.
Still amazed that they only did the non turbo 5.2 in the USA, whereas Europe got the 5.0 twin turbo 570bhp version. Strange.
Great video and review. I'm going to pick up a 2017 S6 real soon. Although this 2007 S6 was under $9,000 - good luck with the extremely expensive repair bills on this engine and I'm not even going to talk about the guaranteed carbon build up that plagues these engines and the sizable bill to correct it.
Just get a oil separator no need to be dramatic
Oil catch can after a valve cleaning anyone that knows how to wrench can handle. Problem solved and it will not cost more than $75 all in.
Just done mine its not too difficult if your handy on the spanners
the APR tune eliminates that restricted top speed of the 155
mine goes above 300km/h but I don't know why, I bought it like this
i founs one for 3.900$ same year as yours does yours have reverse camera and do you know if all S6 came with all the goodies
Where can you get the chips for the Audi I got one my self
Not sure if you got price right or if the limited blue costs more, could also have more luxury upgrades if that's a thing not sure. some go for 15k to 20k
I'm from nh saw the plates so I had to click
same
Hey, is 07 the only year they stuffed the v10 in these. I had an 02 A6 for a while. Or I should say the repair shop had it and then they would let me take it out for parental time occasionally. I finally let it go with no tears and took on a 530i. No more heartaches.
2006-2011 had this motor, as did the S8 of these same years.
@@mattsullivan2117 thanks!
I’ve been contemplating getting a S6 but don’t want to deal with the increased maintenance and service costs. I do 75% of my own repairs and all regular service which saves me money but the cost of parts is still ridiculous on most parts. Guys buy cars like this for less than $10k but end up dumping thousands into service and parts. Biggest downside to the V10 besides maintenance and parts is that they’re not easily tuned for significant horsepower gains. Supercharging or adding turbos is the only way to get big power gains but that will cost $10k or more. The later Twin Turbo V8 can gain 100 horsepower with just a CPU tune.
Those v6 lack the torque the v10 has the v10 pulls and pulls and pulls i have both . V10 hands down. Mines a 09 with 69k on it. If i sell mine it will start at 15k its the cleanest ive seen anywhere with 1 owner me.
Wish I could have it! ⚡⚡
Does the APR Tune Delete the speed limiter.. Also why the APR Tune in stead of the JHM TUNE... I HAVE THE EXACT CAR... I'M GONNA PUT A TUNE.. BUT I CAN'T MAKE MY MIND UP.... I HAVE MILTEK CAT BACK EXHAUST.. ANY SUGGESTIONS....THANKS
JHM. APR is overpriced.
APR IS CHEAPER THAT JHM....
surprised to see that. usually APR is one of the most expensive tunes you can get.
@@mikethomas5992 You can't go wrong either way. I have an APR on mine and an intake spacer. Did that while doing the carbon cleaning. Then I went cheap with the exhaust and did an xpipe resonator delete and muffler delete. Also, yes the tune does take the speed limiter off.
What chip do you have i want to get on and definitely will be doing ezhaust work . Im also going to turbo it and change the intake to a r8.
shit man 2007 audi s6/8 now can run catless as they dont need emissions anymore. should i get one?
And what do u mean if u tune correct it will be a RS6
If you paid 8to 10 k you got a fuck of a deal they sell more towards 15
Bought my first one for $5700
Should have gotten the JHM tune + transmission tune instead of the slow APR tune.
MonoCake any idea how much the JHM tune adds?
@@krithikmaran5917 55hp 50 ft lbs of torque and wakes the trans up a ton.
caged lion that’s great! I’ll remember that if I ever get enough to buy the car.
@@RICHIE_RICH89 just the tune by itself gives this much power?
@@RICHIE_RICH89 so it gives you that much power before getting an exhaust
I should start a CZcams channel so I can tell everyone I’m 6’5” lmao
Yeah I cant find any of these for 10k the cheapest I found was 60k for an RS6. I dont even find these.
i have the opportunity to get one of these as a first car. Safety ratings are high, its luxurious, and that v10. i just, is it too much car? ive been driving tractors and lawnmowers since i was 7 and i know that means nothing, but im very mechanically oriented in my life and i am a very big car person. i feel like im not one to drive distracted, focus on my phone or even drive drunk. Ive lost friends and family to distracted drivers. so i think i could very well handle something like this, even though its a lot too in the end.
It's a pretty docile car until you floor it. You can drive it around normally and enjoy it and treat it with respect because it is a very rare car. If you can afford it, and respect it, I say go for it.
The v10 is not from Lamborghini, It is from Volkswagen. In both cars though. .....
Was also in the Phaeton!!
The V10 in the Phaeton is a diesel engine and they have a lot of power but unfortunately they aren’t cheap to repair and they have major issues with that engine.
For the final time ITS AN AUDI ENGINE FIRST
True, but for bragging reasons with your friends or girls "it has a v10 Lamborghini engine"
@@SuperEman500 yes also true
Колата която те кара да забравиш неволите
Also a money pit lol alot of mechanical issues when they hit 120k
Well you Gen Z buyers will find out how it still cost many thousands of dollars to fix this car like a Lamborghini.
🤓
I wish they stuffed this bad boy in the s4, significantly prettier car.
Good luck getting that in that. Barely fits in the exponentially bigger c6 chassis
maybe half of the engine...
@@davorin5428 4/5 of engine fits brother
The very bad thing about this engine generation is, that all the last .2 motors from Audi are very bad in reliability!
3.2 FSI-V6 (265 hp), 4.2 FSI-V8 (~350 hp), 5.2 FSI-V10 (435 hp), dont buy them!
Some more / some less, but there have been many, many fatal engine failures from 60 to 100 TKm, translated 40 to 60 thousand miles.
I want to mention one exaple of a guy I know who had the 2nd engine replacement at 125 TKm on his S4 4.2! 30 years old!
The S6 V10 normally has 385hp...
S6 435hp, S8 450hp
