Drivetrain for Audi A6 S6.4 2 Quattro
The Audi A6 S6.4 2 Quattro is a car that combines luxury with extreme performance, thanks to its powerful V8 engine and legendary Quattro system. Maintaining this level of performance demands a drivetrain in absolute peak condition. Power transmission in an S6 is subjected to significantly higher stresses than standard models, making the choice of spare parts critical. At CVJoint24, you will find a dedicated range of 10 specifically selected items for this exact model. Whether you need to restore steering precision or eliminate vibrations under acceleration, we have the components required for your Audi to perform just as the factory intended. Our focus is on delivering parts that meet or exceed original equipment specifications to cope with the immense torque of the 4.2-litre engine.
How the drivetrain is engineered on the Audi A6 S6.4 2 Quattro
The engineering behind the drivetrain on an Audi A6 S6.4 2 Quattro is a masterclass in design. The engine is longitudinally mounted, providing balanced weight distribution, and delivers its power through a robust gearbox to a central Torsen differential. From here, torque is distributed intelligently between the front and rear axles. Up front, drive shafts fitted with both inner and outer CV joints accommodate steering angles as well as suspension travel. Running towards the rear, a propeller shaft for Audi A6 S6.4 2 Quattro transfers power to the rear axle. Every component, from the smallest ABS rings to the complete driveshafts, works in unison to provide the traction and stability that define the Quattro system in demanding driving conditions. It is a sophisticated system where every component must remain in top condition to prevent premature wear on differentials and the gearbox.
Common faults and symptoms
Identifying drivetrain issues early can save money and prevent secondary damage to more costly assemblies. One of the most typical symptoms of a worn outer CV joint for Audi A6 S6.4 2 Quattro is a rhythmic clicking sound on full steering lock, such as when parking or taking tight turns. If you instead experience chassis vibrations under hard acceleration, an inner CV joint for Audi A6 S6.4 2 Quattro may be starting to fail. On vehicles with Quattro four-wheel drive, the prop shaft also requires attention; imbalance or worn centre bearings often manifest as a pervasive vibration throughout the car at specific speeds. Finally, a cracked ABS ring can send faulty signals to the braking system, frequently causing the ABS warning light to illuminate or triggering unwarranted ABS intervention during low-speed braking.
Common parts to replace on the Audi A6 S6.4 2 Quattro
To help guide your maintenance, we have categorised the most relevant car parts for your vehicle based on our technical expertise and workshop data. Here are the core component groups available in our range for this specific model:

Frequently asked questions about drivetrain parts for Audi A6 S6.4 2 Quattro
How do I know if the drive shaft on my Audi S6 needs replacing?
The most common signs are vibrations under acceleration or unusual noises when cornering. Severe vibrations often point to the inner joint, whilst clicking noises when turning indicate a worn outer joint.
Do CV joints from a standard Audi A6 fit an S6 4.2 Quattro?
Usually not. The S6 model generally features reinforced components and different dimensions to cope with the higher torque of the V8 engine. Always select your exact make, model and engine to verify fitment.
What causes vibrations in a Quattro drivetrain at higher speeds?
This is frequently caused by an imbalance in the propeller shaft or a worn centre bearing. Worn inner CV joints can also produce vibrations that travel through the entire vehicle.
Is it difficult to replace the ABS ring on an Audi A6 S6?
It requires removing the outer CV joint from the wheel hub. Because the S6 has heavy-duty components, proper tools and care are essential to avoid damaging the ABS sensor.
Why is it important to use the correct grease in an S6 CV joint?
S6 models generate higher temperatures and forces. The dedicated grease supplied in our kits is formulated to withstand these extreme loads and ensure a long service life.
What does your fitment guarantee mean for my Audi?
It means that once you have selected your car's exact model details and we confirm the part, we guarantee it will fit your vehicle physically. This gives you complete peace of mind that you receive the right part first time.
