Shame you didn’t track the mileage, would have been interesting to see the long term MPG. I’m 1 month and 1k miles into ownership and have had to disable MPG from the trip computer menu to help keep me sane !! So I can't give an exact figure but I know the exact mileage when I bought the car as I t...

So from the very first time I put fuel in my car I kept the receipt. I'm not sure why really. I think because this was my first "big boy car" so to speak. First time in my life I was able to realistically fork up the cash for something like an RS4. I knew it was going to be a pricey one to run so I ...

Hey All,

Just to give you an idea of how this panned out. Audi advised the component failed and they've cover everything under warranty. I picked up the car today and has a brand new shock in it.

Lovely stuff. Credit to Belfast Audi for such a good service!

Looking at the dates on the packaging the shocks came with, I think they were all made over 10 years ago now. So probably from the batch of Rev 3 dampers introduced to eliminate the leaking DRC damper issues..... Well if they are the Rev 3 dampers.. they didn't solve the problem. :lol: I believe th...

This is not good reading for someone who has just installed a brand new DRC system lol! Just to add, my car went off to have the brand new system charged and upon return, during final inspection the drivers side front shock was leaking :roll: It had only done a handful of miles so 100% a defective ...

If you had it installed and drove it without it first being recharged you most likely damaged the shock and even the rear central valve. They have to be installed and charged at the same time. If that wasn't the case then it may be that you hit a pothole, or the shock itself is faulty early. I had ...

I’m pretty sure all genuine parts bought from a dealer come with a 2 year warranty, now providing the garage that fitted it are VAT registered & you have all the invoices (part & fitting), you can claim through Audi, but I’m pretty sure your car will have to go into Audi for the work to be redone &...

Hey,

It depends on which suspension you have. There are 3 different kinda as far as I know. Comfort, Sport and Sport+

I'd say ring Audi, give them your VIN and they can give you a part number and a price. Then you can see if you can source one cheaper or not.

That's how I'd go about it

Hey all, As the title suggests, I've had a rear drivers side DRC Shock fail after about 5k miles. I bought the shock brand new from Audi, I got it fitted by an independent and then the car went back to Audi for a re-charge of the system. Driving home yesterday I heard the dreaded knock, I thought it...

Unfortunately I’m over in Ireland so it wont be an option of bringing the car to them.

I’ve rung around a few places over here and almost nobody is willing to even look at it. So who knows how this’ll pan out.

Thanks for the response though. Who knows. I might have to bring it to them. Haha

Mine is much the same into 1st gear especially from very cold. I sometimes go into 2nd then 1st which can seem a bit smoother but maybe it's in my head. Sent from my SM-N976B using Tapatalk I'm the exact same. From first start it can be a bit tough to get into first so I row from 3rd to 2nd and the...

Hello all, So… went for the MOT this morning and failed. Front near side brake line is leaking. Not at the calliper end but at the other end. How far up the creek am I? I’ve roughly priced the hard lines and they’re not expensive but I’ve read I need to drop the engine to put them in. Sounds like a ...

Lovely car!

What's it like owning a car like that in Singapore? Is there anywhere you can really open it up?

I've just come out of this and decided to keep my DRC. Replaced all shocks and piping. The works. It was pretty costly and I found it tough to justify but I don't plan on selling the car any time soon so I'll hopefully get my moneys worth so Im glad I did it. Although I still cringe at the cost. Whe...

Iirc the engine has to be slightly lowered to access the front brake line. I fitted braided lines to mine and the rear hard lines were pretty corroded at the joints to the flexis. There was no way they were coming undone so I cut them off at a straight run and flared both ends and put a joint in si...
