Audi UK contacted me last week and confirmed they are now willing to attempt further work, including shock replacement and recharge in an attempt to resolve this. I asked if this would be warranty or goodwill (as there's a subtle difference for you other guys affected) and they've said it may be a mix of both. More news when it's actually being done!

Naturally I'm having Hitchin Audi do it, not Bedford.
Believe only the man who has nothing to gain from what he says.

Has anyone seen a copy of the Audi TPI for the DRC issue. My dealer has now told me that my car is not in the affected VIN range! It still bloody knocks though and is getting worse

Thanks

Took mine into Audi for the 2nd time last week.
1st time I was told the front drivers side clunk was normal, the steering fault light was on also, so they ended up replacing the whole rack assembly.
So the 2nd time I left it with them, they called me and said they have found a suspension fault, great I thought, I told you so.
Went to collect the car and they found the front near side shock was leaking, OH NO, that won't fix the clunk, so they replaced it and recharged the system to 20 bar.
I have to be honest, the car drives loads better, tighter, even the ride height feels slightly higher.
BUT... I still have the annoying clunk coming from the front drivers side !!!!
