    Hey all,

    Getting active again on the Audi forums as I've recently purchased a 2015 A6 3.0T. I've been on Rennlist mostly the last couple of years since I purchased a '98 993.

    I've listed my 2004 A6 4.2 for sale here and in other fourms as well:

    Looking forward to spending time here!

    You have excellent taste in cars. I have an '02 4.2 and have decided a C7 3.0T is going to be my next car. How do you like it in comparison, particularly low end torque?

    Having driven a few 3.0Ts my initial impression was that power delivery was uncannily like the 2.7T. Low end torque is good-strong (for factory car) I. don't find it to have the immediacy of the 4.2, but pulls longer (up to legal road speeds). I found it to be a really nice engine and would probably be much better after mods.

    Nice. I'd feel even better if someone could show me evidence it doesn't suffer from carbon build up too.. seems like the 3.0T motor is the best of the recent Audi DI motors when it comes to managing carbon build up.
