New Member & New RS6 Owner
Posted: Wed Apr 07, 2004 6:40 pm
Good Afternoon
Just joined the RS246 forum after hearing about it on the Tyresmoke Forum.
Up until today i was the proud owner of a 2002 Avus Silver S8 S-Line & prior to the S8, i'd owned a couple of TTC 225's along with a ZX12R & a Mondeo V6 GhiaX as my run-around. Towards the end of last year, i decided to leave motorcycling for a while, following the deaths of a few riding pals, so was just left with the Mondy & TTC. I then decided it was crazy owning & running 2 cars, so i ditched the TT & Mondy & purchased the S8. This did not quite satisfy my hunger & the car was a tad too large for everyday use, so i've part-exchanged that & i'm now chomping at the bit to get into my RS6.
I say up until today, as i've just traded her in for an Ebony Black Nov 2003 RS6 Saloon
which i collect when i return from vacation on the 22nd April. Have to say that i'm more than a little excited 
The spec is pretty standard & she has only covered 6000 miles, having been my local Audi Dealer Principals transport since new, followed by a few weeks as a demonstrator. The car is fully loaded as you'd expect & the only extras i'm aware of are the Solar Sunroof, Tracker Monitor & factory fitted dark tinted windows, which look awesome against the dark exterior & Silver Silk Nappa interior
.
As a new RS6 owner, are there any obvious things i need to watch out for (except watching my driving license gain some new markings) in the early days & any certain traits i need to be aware of & are there any common faults applicable to RS6's
All help & advice would be gratefully received, as these motors are not cheap & to date its by far the most cash i've shelled out on a car.
