DRC how I hate you sometimes.

So DRC fault on the rear left quarter. Bummer. Trying to decide now whether to replace it or bite the bullet and go for coilovers all round which will mean running the car for a month or two with the fault. If anyone has done the change could you reply with which product you went for, the price and your thoughts on it please?

I was going to say Will is having a nightmare with his. To be honest he's been far to calm with Audi. Repeated DRC problems and a gearbox out all in c.8k miles. I'd kick off big time!

Is the B8 the new C5?

I really can't comprehend how after 15 years (C5 RS6?) how Audi cannot get this system to perform as it should..

It's not the most complex piece of engineering they have on their cars and with all the R&D power they have at their disposal - they surely have a good understanding of 1. How customers are using their DRC equipped cars and 2. What the failure mode is..

Either fix the damn problem or remove it from the range.

To me it's inconcievable.. The damage to the brand at this point must be fairly significant.. Unbelievable.
