Proud RS4 owner
Hey guys,
Just picked up a red 2007 RS4 with low miles (17k) and absolutely love it. Traded my '05 S4 and wow, what a difference. Definitely a head turner and am already getting lots of drive by attention from other German car owners.
Some questions: I will be needing the DRC fix very soon. The rear struts feel a bit spongy and sound like they are hammering on man holes and small bumps on my road. Just to confirm, is this now covered by Audi USA? I have seen conflicting threads on this issue.
Also, what codes were thrown for the carbon build up so I can have my independent Audi mechanic check prior to dealer visit. Post warranty (for me ends this summer) what are my options? Forking the 900-1200 clean up bill is all I can think of.
Anyways, Thanks in advance!

Welcome. Enjoy the RS 4...it is a OUTSTANDING car and has and unbelieveable sound track and feel. I currently have a 2011 S4 loaner while my car is in the shop. It runs nicely and has good pickup (DSG tranny) but it is no where near the same car. The V8 growl and handling performance is better than the S4 (IMO). RS 4 is a classic...
