    Lost Nemo 4.2 to Hurricane Sandy..... Joining the RS6 ranks

    Hello all. Long time Audi owner. Buying a Mugello 2003 RS6 to replace my beloved Nemo 4.2. I've been reading through many of the posts and articles. This place has been great at giving me information to inquire about regarding the condition of the target purchase car. Between the Turbos and the DRC, there is ALOT of stuff that can go/be wrong on these cars when compared to the N/A 4.2.

    The car is being shipped to me in NYC from an Audi dealership in Georgia, Gwinett Audi. I am MAJORLY stoked..... I am going to put a bow on it and give it to myself for x-mas. I look forward to being around here.....

    Welcome!

    I made the exact same move, from the exact same car (2001 Nemo Blue A6 4.2L sport) but for a different reason in Jan 2012. My Nemo had 240k+ miles when sold.... It was time to run with the cool kids!

    What was your history with the 4.2L A6 na?... Miles, repairs etc.
    2003 RS6 l SE Exhaust l Koni Yellow Sports w/stock springs l Lowered 1"F 1.25"R l EPL Tuned l 19 x 9.5 VMR V713 & 265 PSS's l 50% window tint l Protective film on entire hood, bumper and front quarter panels l

    Hey 4.2Crew.... 240k? Wow. Wish I could have had Nemo that long. My car had 106k when it drowned.

    Mods:
    Giac Tune/TCU, Bilstein adjustable, HR Springs, gutted prec-cats, resonator-delete, 4 inch oval tips, Magnaflow round straight-thrus, air intake w/ fab ram air, ECB slotted/x-drilled brakes, Pagid pads, S6 upper-lower grills, tints all around, and the piece-de-resistance (w/ French Accent) BBS LMs 20"s, staggered set up. Mmmm I'm gonna miss my car so much.

    So how's life in turbonium-land? I've always wanted an RS6. So I'm really looking forward to it showing up. Like REALLY REALLY looking forward to it. Any advice for an RS6 noob?

    Welcome to the crazy train as Maxx put it.

    My only advice is not to buy the Giac tune for the RS6. There are lots of others to choose and members can point in the right direction but Giac has never shown good results. Enjoy the new beast and hope thinks are looking up for the folks in Sandys path.

    droool....... cant wait. I've looked through the records, the car was serviced by Nalley Audi in Roswell, GA for 95% of its ownership (seemingly). Timing Belt, tensior pulleys, etc. done. There seems to be complaints in the record of any transmission issues, DRC issues, boost issues, etc. Doesn't meant the owner didn't go elsewhere for such things, but the car continued to be brought to the dealership long after the warranty kicked the bucket. Hopefully, I am getting a complete picture of information. One never knows, though.
