DRC

Post by Girv101 » Thu Mar 01, 2012 8:06 pm

Bought mine 12 months ago and it's been without doubt the most enjoyable 12 months driving I've had after 29 years behind the wheel. I've been off and on this excellent website but because of all the negative posts regarding shocks and DRC I find myself waiting for the 'knocks' to come from the front or back. I did have an issue 6 months in and the front near side shock was replaced without any hassle whatsoever. Coming to the end of Aberdeen Audi's 12 month warranty I was aware of a knock when tiptoeing over speed bumps, say 15 mph. During an oil service and m.o.t. I mentioned this to the service department and I drove the car accompanied by an Audi mechanic and he agreed there was 'a wee knock from somewhere'. There was no evidence of leaking so they re-pressurised the DRC, if that's the correct terminology, from 12 to 16, since then the car has felt totally different over the speed bumps and any knocks it may have had have disappeared! Now that's it's out of warranty and past the so-called 5 year promise the following 12 months will no doubt be costly, I'll keep you notified.
