Although a slightly different fault, I share your pain ! When my B8 RS4 was brand new out of the showroom I had the dreaded DRC knock from my front suspension, and when escalated to Audi UK I was told the exact same thing, it was a characteristic of the car. My B7 RS4 had the exact same problem and ...

Did you end up purchasing the towbar Chris ???

I was hoping I was going to see some pictures of the new purchase !!!!!

Don't either of the Nardo cars at Redline have what you are looking for? Unfortunately not, the 2 must haves for me are rear camera and adaptive cruise. Tbh I am 99% on the black 16 plate. I was just going to say, buy the car you want and retrofit both options ! The rear view camera is certainly av...

Nice car that A6 btw. What did you end up getting for your wife? What's nice about the A6 tow bar is its simplicity. I had a BMW Touring and it folded and retracted electrically. It would have been complicated to fix and would have been stuck if the motor failed part way through its operation. At l...

Hi Ricky, Even better - thanks very much indeed. Chris No problem, Chris ! I was curious about the tow bar too if I'm being honest, hence why I asked the salesman to cover it on the video. I may be in the market in the next couple of months for an RS6 and the tow bar would be a must for me. Unfortu...

I thought I would add this video I received a while ago back when looking for a car for my wife. We were interested in an A6 Avant, and this particular car had the genuine Audi tow-bar fitted. Fast forward the video to 3 mins and watch until 4 mins 15 sec. Hopefully that will show a brief explanatio...

Where about in the country are you Ricky, as I can recommend a dealership who have looked after my Audi's very well for nearly 18 years now and have a chief technician who loves the RS cars and really knows his stuff. [/quote] Unfortunately on the other side of the water from you in Northern Irelan...

I wager the knocking from the rear is the DRC control valve and that your pressure is down. Exact symptoms I had second time around. First time was knocking from the front. Out of interest, what causes the knocking if all four dampers are new ??? Is it just down to the pressure control which when d...

I feel for all you guys who are having trouble !!!!! I'm pretty much fed up with the whole DRC thing ! Audi have been having problems with them for a seriously long time. Both my RS4's had DRC problems. The first B7 RS4 they eventually fixed, but when it came to my brand new B8 RS4 I was simply told...

The number of complaints just doesn't warrant Audi acknowledging the problem! Us B7 owners had to provide Audi with proof of a very large number of cars with DRC failure before they would do anything, IIRC we got into triple figures. On the current data (5 no fix, 5 fix and 5 no fail) you're a long...

just heard from one of my customers this morning he's had his DRC fixed on his B7.... 2 new shocks free of charge & re gassed system a year after he bought the car as a "gesture of goodwill" so it seems the B7's are still getting sorted but not the B8's I am glad Audi resolved the B7 owners faults,...

Glenn. I also asked them to remove my DRC and fit my car with the standard set up and refund the difference ! They refused again, and said no goodwill was necessary as there was 'no fault' with my DRC. Audi definitely know how to take the piss. Do they think we are stupid ? No they don't. Do they th...
