Asknig for a friend who wants an RS4. Just wondering if the incidence of DRC failure depends on whether the car has standard or sports+ suspension?

Sorry if it's already been answered a million times, but I couldn't find anything in the search.

To the best of everyone's knowledge, there is no link whatsoever between SS+ and a higher / lower incidence of failure

I don't believe that correlation has ever been established. Best just to check in the service history to see if DRC has been done or not. and you still have the 5 year / 75,000 mile cover

Cheers guys. That's pretty much what I thought.

I'm looking forward to him getting it. From what I can see they are properly sorted cars. Only problem is, it'll make me want one

At the risk of being flamed, anything else to look out for on the RS4 when buying?

Shall we do one each!

i say check auxiliary rads, make sure no steam coming out of grilles near fogs and that coolant level is good after a test drive

next..!

Thanks for that

On the RS6 forum, someone did a noob's buying checklist that we had made into a sticky.

Might be worth doing the same here once we get the major points to check? Avoid people asking the same dull questions that I am now?

Hey, I'm not a noob in Audi's V8...
@others : I'm his friend who's looking for a RS4.

However, a checklist is a good idea.
