Default New to me 2012 A6 in Saskatchewan...

Hello to all Recently purchased a 2012 A6 Premium+ 3.0 TFSI Quattro with another year and a half of pre-owned Audi warranty. I am absolutely over the moon in my first week of ownership, and haven't owned a German ride since bombing around in a 1980 Volkswagen Rabbit GTI back in the day.

Looking forward to learning more about Audi, my A6, and as much DYI maintenance and modification as possible, and always willing to chime in when I learn something that may assist others. Cheers !

Congratulations for your A6 c7! Beautiful car and amazing engine! Drives very nice , and to make it even better here two major improvements : 12,5mm spacers all over or new wheels with 35 offset or so and ECU tune

Cheers!

I will have to look into the wheel spacers, as I am not familiar with them. I have the 19" rims for summer rubber, and the standard 18" for the winter tires needed in this part of the country. Was considering slightly stiffer front and rear sway bars eventually, and some ECU work. The supercharger pully and ECU mod looks attractive for the increased torque and HP, but I would be concerned about needing to also upgrade the cooling capacity. However, it is a really fine vehicle in its current form, and I enjoying driving it every time I get in it. Cheers !

Really there is no need of stiffer sway bars , if you get better wheels the car will totally change . I personally would't do more than stage 1 ecu software upgrade for this engine. Even if you do stage 2- with pulley , still doesn't require additional cooling .You want the supercharger to run at the oem speed , which is good if you are planning to keep this a6 for a long time .
