Enjoy the R8 mate. Awesome motor

My car only had only covered 28k when the front shocks needed replaced. Think it depends on the roads you travel as well. Pot holes everywhere!

I will be keeping the DRC on mine as I will keep the warranty going. Like to keep the car standard. Each to the own I suppose as I can see how people could get fed up paying out on the DRC every so often, depending on mileage, age etc if they could get another system that will last the life of the c...

I hit a deer on the motorway in my B8 after only 2 months of having it. Broke my bumper in 3 places and dented my bonnet. Got it repaired at an Audi approved bodyshop and paid for it myself. Didn't want to go through my insurance. Was gutted.

Defo go to Audi specialist and not main dealer as they only carry out the work required, carry it out to a better standard than a main dealer and its far cheaper.

Got the car back today and the ride is so much better. The really annoying knocking has gone and the car ride feels great again.

Yep. Something not right mate. My car has the sports exhaust and is loud, especially on Dynamic.

Hi, new to forum and Audi. Bought a B8 RS4 in Feb this year with only 22800 miles on the clock with a full 2 year warranty and enjoying the car, especially the sound!
