New PI A6 Avant SE 190 Ultra or demo 2014 A6 Quattro SLine 245

It see what you mean ! I borrowed a friend's 2500 mile new A6 Avant 245 BHP quattro last Sunday. She said the quattro was great and she is right. I took it round some local lanes in the New Forest. Amazing, brought a grin back to my face!

The new (well, 9month old, 7k mile) Phantom black 245 bhb S-Line quattro arrives from a dealer in Scotland on Wednesday.

ps: we get a lot of floods round here, does anyone know how high the A6 V6 air intake is located?

I had a C6 S line 2 litre multi tronic, change to a C7 s line 177 and I thought that was pretty decent, but almost 6 months ago replaced this with an S line 245 quattro. . . .still smiling everyday, just bought winter wheels and tyre set and can't wait for winter to set in.
jist one problem, I need to grow up, it's been 35 years since I was a teenager but just can't help firing it up when I get a tailgating 520 Beemer behind me, especially on twisting roads

No idea about the intake but the Sline does sit very low to the ground so I suspect it's not going to be your friend in flood conditions.

I think the allroad wading depth is 30 or 35cm if I recall - and I assume that is making use of 'lift' mode on the air suspension so I'd suggest caution in floods with an S line.

Definitely check where the air intake is located. Several years ago on a previous Audi I took it through some deep floods. The car got me home, but was belching black smoke and the dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree. The air intake had gone under the water, been sucked into the engine, refused to compress, and then bent the rods and valves. (it was a diesel with a high CR)
New engines from Audi don't come cheap! Especially with their labour charges and the complications of Quattro diffs/gearbox.
