Default RS4 DRC problems

I had my leaky fr shock and one central valve replaced by the dealer and now the car is horrible! Ride is extremely hard with new rattles and noises. Anyone had this scenario? What did they goof up?

Take it back. I've known two in this area that were repaired with no problems

Default If you want to upgrade, get a Stasis Ohlins suspension

Expensive, but worth it.

Default Thanks Audi!

The dirk is failing for many... Our MS on the other hand continues to impress every single person who has the pleasure of using it.

Default I have similar issues.....>

On the day I picked up my car at the dealer, when they pulled car out of the showroom, droplets of fluid on floor under the car from suspension. They kept car for an additional day to swap out suspension. Since then, for the first one minute of driving the car each morning, there is a "clunking" noise coming from the right rear corner when going over small bumps. After driving for a minute, noise goes away and car drives wonderfully. It's going back to the dealer when I have time.

Default They didn't achieve sufficient pressure in the system - for the RS6, we need a

minimum of 12 bar. Not sure if same applies to the RS4. My dealer was totally incompetent, and was unable to effect a satisfactory repair. With no help from AoA, I finally opted for Stasis-Ohlins (which, if you are willing to take the plunge, are better anyway imo).

Default I agree with LIRS6...

They either need to add DRC fluid or drain and refill.

Default I'm having the same issue right now. Please let me know what you find out if you get to...

the dealer before I do.

Default Will do and you do the same if you get there before me>>>

Upon delivery of my car there was a scratch on one of my titanium exterior mirrors which the dealer had to order to replace (needs to come from Germany - none currently in the US, according to dealer). Anyhow, when that comes in I will schedule with dealer and have them look at suspension.
