2003 Daytona RS6 Avant

Post by DuncRS6 » Sat Nov 17, 2018 6:59 pm

This was meant to be a car that I was going to keep for a long while but, unfortunately, life has a way of kicking you in the nuts when you least expect and then rubbing your face in it.

So due to a change in my personal circumstances I am selling my 2003 Daytona C5 RS6 Avant.

Quick Facts

121,667 miles - Will go up slightly as still use it on the weekend.
H&R Coilovers
Miltek Resonated Exhaust
Gearbox replaced in 2010 on 84,618 miles by Newbury Audi
MRC Remap - 545.4PS/ 802Nm - tune runs at 1.05bar
Private Plate - R66 VAG - This will come with the car.
M.O.T until May - Had a few advisories which have all been rectified.
Discs & Pads all replaced in May 2017
6 Former Keepers

Original Order:

The car was first ordered in 22/06/2002 and delivered to the original owner on 10/01/2003 by Ridgeway Audi for £65,529 with the following factory fitted options;

Tuning History

I am going to list the tuning history of the car as well, I have been trying to decipher it and will also help any potential buyers, as it has had a few bits added and removed. So a very rough history of the cars mods are as follows:

16/12/05 - Miltek Exhaust system, complete with sports cats and downpipes added by AMD. H&R springs added. The same time the car was remapped with an AMD Stage 3 tune which bumped the power up to 519Bhp
19/08/14 - Birmingham Motor TYR - Adjust Coilovers - At some point between now and 2005 a set of H&R coilovers have been added, can't seem to find any paperwork for these and the only mention of H&R was in 2005 for springs.
03/02/15 - Health Check at Unit 20.
26/10/15 - Health Check & Dyno at MRC - Still has an AMD tune here but only has 483.5PS / 694Nm

When I buy the car I am told by the previous owner that it had a AMD Stage 1 tune and that the previous owner to him and it tuned to Stage 3 with sports cats and downpipes but then de-tuned it to Stage 1 and removed the sports cats and downpipes. I decide to take it to MRC for health check and their Stage 1 map:

13/02/18 - Health Check, Replacement of F125 switch & Remap at MRC. The health check finds that it has stock downpipes and intercoolers, no boost leaks & no codes in the gearbox. The old remap was running at .8bar. The MRC remap takes it to 545.4PS / 802Nm.

Doug said it was one of the cleanest he had seen recently which was a nice surprise.


The Not So Good Points

2 of the wheels have scratches due to my old man deciding to scrape them down a kerb while taking it to the garage for its M.O.T.
The service warning has just flashed up on the computer.
A dent, size of a pound coin, on the driverside rear passengers door where someone kindly used it as doorstop in a car park. Half the time I don't even realise its there.
Some stone chips on the bonnet.

Price

10.5k - With a new service.

10k - Without service, new owner can sort out the service and any health check they want themselves post sale.

It will have the original book with the press photos. I also have the big service book, a spare Pirelli tyre, some oil and other some small bits that will get chucked in the boot when sold. Also has massive folder of receipts and paperwork from over the years that any prospective buyer is welcome to sift through.

Here are some photos I took earlier this year, will aim to clean her up and get some updated photos up here in the coming week of the interior and close ups.

I am based just outside Newark on Tent, 5 miles from the A1.

Forgot to update this thread.

Car is now no longer for sale. The doomsday scenario of having to sell the old girl I thought was coming has been averted and can now happily carry on spunking money on her.
