I feel for your situation and the frustration you're going through with your car and the previous dealer. Mine had the same issue (MY2020, one faulty dumper followed by leaky DRC valves) last year, had it fixed under warranty. The car's been fine since, but when the issue comes back after my warran...

Hi folks, yet again my RS4 DRC accumulators have failed & become noisy overtime. Ive owned this car from new, it’s an Oct 2020 Vorsprung B9.5 RS4 with just over 21k miles. There’s quite a history. My local dealer after replacing the shocks & then multiple times then the accumulators 3 times (at time...

Did you ever find part no’s for the competition parts Brooner? I’ve been considering replacing my Vorsprung suspension with coilovers If it was possible to fit the competition parts this would be interesting. Saying that the cost might be crazy. I was looking at this KW kit £2,360. I’m guessing I co...

Hi folks, my October 2020 B9.5 Vorsprung is on just over 20k miles. It came with Hankook tyres on it. They have 6mm tread on them. So are well above the legal limit. I do fit winter wheel / tyres so that will be why the wear is low. I’m about to fit the summer wheels / tyres (which have the factory ...

The Audi part number is 8W9955425, which when googling, yields an average length result of 380mm in length or 15". I have been using the A360H on my B9 since I got it in 2018 with no problems. I seem to remember that I measured my rear wiper the first time I changed it and it was 15". Maybe Audi ha...

Hi folks, I have a 2020 B9.5 Audi RS4 Vorsprung. My rear wiper blade is worn. Ordinarily I’d just get the it replaced by an Audi centre however while cleaning my car I realised just how easy it is to swap. So I ordered a replacement one online. I was supplied what I was told was an oem blade. It act...

Yep, seen it, the white one is mine! Well done hearing the unusual noise. It looks like you stopped even worse damage. It also looks like if multiple cars are experiencing a failure of these rocker arms, Audi should have been replacing them. Had a recall to fix the part. Sent from my iPhone using T...

Hi folks, this is an interesting video.

Two RS4’s both with rocker arm failures

I’ve noticed some reviews abroad of the RS4 competition the car had a sun roof. It’s a shame they didn’t offer this option in the UK

Hi folks, I noticed when cleaning my car that the front bumper side had been scrapped. I have no idea when it happened or how. Maybe it was a kerb or verge. Anyway I took it back today to Clark Aitken who ppf’d my car when new in 2020. He took the ppf off & I was anticipating a phone call to say “so...

Hi Chris, unless I hit the button at the side no massage starts in my 2020 Vorsprung. It’s a great feature however it doesn’t come on randomly for me There are 3 types of massage & different intensities of each. Worth trying to see if they feel like what you are noticing Sent from my iPhone using Ta...

I had my 2020, B9.5 RS4 B9.5 in 3 times. First over Dec 20, Jan 21 for over 6 weeks. They swapped 2 rear shocks & the left & right accumulators. This improved the rattle but didn’t fix it & said they planned to compare to another. I lived with the noise & it got worse again. The car went back in Ju...

It’s hard to tell. Do you have a longer clip? I can do a comparison with my B9.5 RS Vorsprung

Yes. All fixed. Ah I wish mine was fixed. I think it’s maybe a bit better but the noise is still there. My dealer is now trying to source a RS4 with DRC to see it’s a symptom/feature of DRC before they do anything else. Unfortunately they don’t have any at the dealer in Aberdeen. Or Inverness, Pert...

Hi Mark, Did your DRC / suspension noise get fixed totally? The guy's at my dealer have been trying to fix it. They have replaced the two accumulators and the two rear dampers + a section of the exhaust. I'm not sure if the valves have also been replaced. Apparently it's much improved but not gone t...
