DRC

hi lads
car has just started to act funny over speed bumps , wallowing all over the place & the car is always in dynamic mode , just cleaned it and noticed lots of oil/fluid inside rear drivers side wheel , looked under and all wishbones and shock area smothered in oil opposite side totally dry ? regards tony

[tony091]

any ideas anyone ! cost , parts and where can be done in London area !! tony

Possibly (probably?) a split hose. York Audi charged me 159 for the hose, 14 for the oil and 240 labour. Plus the Vodka & Tonic.

thanks jim

If the hose is fine then it's a about £400 per strut to replace not inc labour.

[tony091]

thanks ian , so if it is the strut will the DRC need re-gassing ? regards

[FUBAR]

I think it is recommended by Audi to change in pairs. At least thats what they told me. I only had a problem with one shock.

No they only replace the side that leaking. And only if its leaking down the strut more than 2 cm. Otherwise its classed as "normal misting"

Tony search for DRC that I posted some time ago, it may come in handy.
