Re: DRC failed already - only had it 3 weeks!!

Sadly, this is not a surprise as dealerships aren't checking these cars correctly. My front O/S has failed twice within the first 6 weeks. I'm currently going through a rejection due to a host of problems.

Re: Gearbox lurching/knocking in 1st gear

Luckily for you, in the 15 weeks mine been on and off the road since 23rd December 2018 I have not had an RS car. Currently I am in a bog standard A6 with no sat nav!

Re: Gearbox lurching/knocking in 1st gear

Good to hear Audi are supporting the gearbox. Out of interest were you given RS3 by dealer of Audi UK?

Re: RS4 MY15 - Problem after purchasing a week ago.

Suspension tolerance is a new one for me. I have only recently heard of this from the centre. You can noticeably see the car sits lower on the right. But its within tolerance I'm told. Steering wheel is noticeably sitting to the left. Not a great deal but it wont straighten up. Its been a saga with ...

Re: RS4 MY15 - Problem after purchasing a week ago.

Did you manage to sort it out HB? Not quite mate, dealer said suspension was 10mm lower on the right which is within tolerance, thankfully not DRC related according to Master Technician. Hopefully that remains the case. However, steering wheel has been knocked out of alignment again and now wont ce...

Re: Extended warranty quotes year 5

Does anyone know if you get a reduced cost if you have an approved used warranty that is due to expire? Or do you need to renew online?

Re: RS4 MY15 - Problem after purchasing a week ago.

How did you pay for the car? If it's on finance the finance company need to make sure the car is not faulty, you could use them as leverage. Under the consumer rights act you have up to six months to reject the car The warranties are administered by Audi so hopefully you'll have more luck with the ...

Re: RS4 MY15 - Problem after purchasing a week ago.

Sounds like they failed to fix it properly. Its a difficult decision but you might want to think about exchanging....have they got any similar cars in they're group? On the other side if they do fix it you'll have many years of free motoring It would be concerning if it was a failed attempt, especi...

Re: RS4 MY15 - Problem after purchasing a week ago.

Just thought I would give a latest update. My RS4 finally came back a week ago, however, it looks short lived. I have noticed again the car has dropped to one side, I also hear a clunk sound when I go over bumps. I can't work out whether this is the DRC again, especially in light of recently having ...

23 PSI I was told. Guess around that mark is reasonable.

Re: RS4 MY15 - Problem after purchasing a week ago.

Cheers Johnny, car went into Audi and confirmed front O/S shock needs replacing and DRC was at 5 psi! Worrying as the car was only in the week prior to that and was told it was fine.. Thankfully being done under warranty at £1045 each! I've asked that there remainder get checked to ensure they aren'...

Re: RS4 MY15 - Problem after purchasing a week ago.

Lads, just a quick question, knock from offside front going over bumps, is that DRC related? I've noticed cars stance is dropped to right, but I know that is common issue on RS4. My car has not had DRC done and still within 30 days exchange due to number of earlier faults it was extended. I really d...
