I have to say, I thought mine had gone again but after taking it to Camberley, they confirmed that it was holding its pressures (I have the revised shocks all round), a first for me after 2 months! :)

Fingers crossed, touch wood!

Well its official, my cars finally succumed to dreaded DRC issue. Two new shocks and valves coming next week, only hope this is the end of it. Must be costing Audi a fortune to sort this issue out. Dealer seems very proactive at the moment only hope they stay that way. Has anyone had DRC issue sorted with Bolton Audi.

Having just read this thread, is it just me or does something look to have changed here? Are more people getting their shocks changed without actually asking for it? I wonder if Audi have admitted to themselves that there may be a problem and issued an advisory to the dealers accordingly.

It'll be interesting to see if mine are changed when I put my car in to have the brake pads changed next month after being told the 'weeping' was normal on my front shocks.

Is that really what they said 'weeping was normal', normal for what a knackered shock!
Just to add, I didn't ask for new shocks etc, they recommended them, both sides. I asked about this extended warranty, that caused a blank expression, but, they promised to look into it.

That's what they said! To be honest the car's not doing anything unusual at all so wasn't too bothered, still not really.

I'll be keeping a close eye on the shocks though and clearly I'd rather they weren't leaking at all.
