    Final Update on dead RS6

    The Audi Techs have not pinpointed the final source of the problem, but they suspect that one of the motor mount sensors are at fault (what the hell does a motor mount sensor do?) as they are one of...

    This is a possibility I am going to pursue this morning. I suspect, however, that the dealer will be reluctant to admit that there are unsold units in the States. We shall see.

    Further update on dead RS6

    I swear I'm not making this up: The Service Director states that, upon occasion, when making a right turn, a master fuse blows for unknown reasons (I had just completed a right turn when my beast...

    The dealer's interim report is that the problem is "some kind of electrical problem" that affects five different component systems in the car (?). No estimate yet on how long to get it repaired.

    This could be very bad...

    I picked up the car yesterday and drove her home, about 12 miles. When my son came home, we went for a ride. Drove her another mile or so, when Bam!, she abruptly died. She turned over, but wouldn't...

    ICONCLS - Is your beast de-badged?

    I would like to know your stealthy secrets: I was hoping to remain low-profile, and today's experience as well as those reported by the other Chicago area guys seems to indicate that it won't be a...

    So much for the stealth factor....

    Picked up the beast today. In the 12 miles it took me to get home, I was "thumbed-up" and given "congrats" at three different stoplights - one Audi driver, and two other guys in American cars. Maybe...

    Thanks for clarifying the tire issue, guys. I went back and read the historical posts, and it seems to be hit or miss as to what you will get.

    Drove the dealer "demo" yesterday...

    And I was blown away by the combination of sophisticated elegance and raw power. The "demo" was a weird green color, but if I didn't have a car ordered (scheduled to arrive at dock by friday) I would...

    Thanks Fitz!

    Knowing that you too waited three weeks makes me less concerned that the beast slipped off the back of the barge or ended up somewhwere in Panama as a taxi.:)

    Do any of you folks in the States who have taken delivery of your beasts recall how long the trans-Atlantic crossing took?
