Default Any RS4 with leaking shock here?

Hi guys,

I had a look around but couldn't find much talk about leaking shock absorbers and DRC problem here. Has anyone had this problem yet with US models?

Lots of RS4 owners in the UK has suffered repeated leaking shocks and I myself just had 2 front shocks and one of the 2 central valves replaced (upon asking the dealer to check as I had no knocking noise at all) and a third one was found leaking by another dealer tech within a week after 2 front ones done.

Be very interested to know what's going on with RS4 OEM shocks.

Default A few people here have had DRC issues and posted about them...

Dealers are repairing/replacing them under warranty.

Some only need a drain and refill while others need new shocks, reservoirs, etc.

Is that all so far??? I would have thought more.

I wonder if it's a production batch thing...like all the Euro models (Aust incl.) seem to have more leaking shock absorbers than US/Canadian models.

Default but you're still under warranty, so you just out of pocketed it?

what's the warranty on the stasis set-up?
