I remember the sagging/leaking DRC issue being a big topic, but it seems to have gone away.

Has Audi resolved the weakness with a replacement part? Extended the warranty on DRC? Both? None?

Thanks.

I think the lack of postings is the answer. On the other hand we see carbon cleaning all the time.

Carbon's days are numbered. It'll be terminated before too long.

They claim theyve fixed it... But I appear to be having the same problem again... The first time Audi did the install incorrectly and thus I had to bring it back for them to fix. After about six months of seeming as though it has no more issues, my shocks start clicking violently again. I am about to take it into a different dealer to address this issue. Have had an extraordinary amount of problems with this car (which only has 30,000 miles and is still under warranty). If it weren't for the warranty I hate to say but I probably would have sold the car months ago. I guess sometimes you get a car with no problems and others is just the opposite; however when it comes down to the upper eschalon of sports sedans, none of these cars should have as many problems as they do. I don't know for sure whether I'm having the same drc issue but it sure sounds like my front passenger shock is leaking again. Will post a follow up after I meet with the dealer.

So what types of other non-DRC problems have you had with it?

I have a feeling that the newer version of the shocks are built to a better quality standard. One of the four replacement shocks in my car, installed about 15k miles ago, is showing a slight bit of a leak. Otherwise, the suspension is behaving normally with no ill effects.

sakimano

what was the official stance Audi took on the issue?

Extended the warranty on DRC?
Recalled all RS4s, or are they just fixing those who complain?

Both? None?

Reggie

explain - I've not heard anything

sakimano

No - and yes you have.

There is an official DRC recall effective through sometime in 2012. I don't remember the date, but after that, you are on your own. I have the recall letter at home and will look at it later this weekend and report back. Here is a previous thread discussing the recall:
