To completely finish the build off i wanted Audi themselves to check over the car and do the finishing touches before i can go and enjoy it. But there's still some more problems to be solved. Thanks so much to all the guys a Audi Pembrooke Pines! - audipembrokepines.com

Questions answered

What was the main issue preventing the RS6 from starting during the Audi checkup?
The team suspected a voltage drop and a problematic junction box that could be draining power from the starter circuit, so they tested by applying power directly to isolate the fault.
What did the Audi technicians do during the visit to assess the car?
They performed a health check, examined the braking components, tested wheel alignment, and evaluated the car’s overall build quality, issuing a candid assessment of the car’s condition.
How did the team address the braking system during the service?
They replaced the brake discs and pads due to wear and heat damage, inspected the calipers, and explained the disc design was non-directional and aimed at weight reduction and cooling.
What was PJ’s assessment of the build after looking under the car?
PJ gave a positive, professional assessment, noting that the car overall looked much better than many ten-year-old cars and awarded a solid health score around 7 to 8 out of 10, acknowledging some areas for improvement.
