Default And to think they are going to use this crappy suspension on the new RS6. Frickin Germans...

God they are stubborn!

They know they have problems with it yet they stick with it trying to fix a system that is prone to failure. Someone at Audi engineering needs to get their **** kicked. Why not use the magnetic suspension already available on the TT and R8?

Default I believe mine are on the way out as well.

I get a good "Knock" in the front once in a while when I go over road abnormalities. It sounds like there is someone under the car with a hammer and they take a whack at the floorboard.

Took my front wheels off to clean and found the top of both shocks to be covered in a gritty substance when all other surfaces are nice and clean.

I have a service coming up in 2K so I'll have them checked. The rear shocks are nice and clean.

Default It seems that the real issue isn't the DRC "failure", it's...

The techs not knowing what needs to be done to correct the "failure". Some have leaks, some need new central valves, then there are those that had the DRC drained and refilled, but it wasn't done properly so the pressures are off.

With DRC many things can go wrong and the techs have no way of knowing what is causing the issue.
