Engine

 

The 2.7-litre V6 biturbo

 

This engine will also be used in the Audi S4 
and Audi A6.
The engine used in the A6 has a comfort-
oriented setup, which means that it has 
different torque and power output.
This effect was principally achieved by 
modifying the software configuration of the 
engine control unit.

A tuning protective device prevents 
the S4 engine control unit being 
installed in the A6!

 

This prevents misuse, which can 
result in damage to the drivetrain!

 

An auxiliary heater is not available 
as an option for the S4 and the A6, 
due to the constraints on space.
