DRC issues
Just dropped off the car this morning to get the winter wheels/tires put on and instructed them to make sure to inspect the shock for leakage since I have heard that everyone is having problems with them.
Sure enough he called to say the wheels are done and that they have the new front shocks on order and I will need to go back next week.
08' which I purchased about a year ago. I have never tracked this car or beat on it in any way. I actually am probably one of the most timid drivers here. What gives?

Nothing to do with how you drive. Everything to do with Audi's faulty DRC system. Some leak on the
showroom floor! Welcome to the club! Make sure they replace both center valves when the replace the 2 front shocks and that they bleed and repressurize the system.

One word....... STaSIS.
You're probably going to bring the car back a few times to get it right why waste your time.....you should just bit the bullet now and go coilovers. It's the best choice in my opinion
I'm enjoying the car so much more than with the DRC system....not to mentioned the car looks so much better lowered to 26"

It is not you
My first set of shocks failed on the boat from Europe. My new RS4 could not be delivered due to leaking shocks. The second set failed at about 4000 miles.
It is a defective system.

I just can't believe they're still shipping RS4's with leaking DRC right out of the factory
is there no pride in product or what? I don't know of other mfgrs that provide a new car with a known defect, acting as if nothing is wrong.
Either DRC works or not. I'm begining to suspect assembly or suspension is being botched at GmbH.
