Re: air suspension vs DRC

I only have experience with the air suspension car. I believe both set ups will break at some point, but the DRC at much earlier stage and far more commonly. Being an RS4 owner, I'm sure you will know about the DRC issues! The aftermarket coilovers (KW, Bilstein) are very good, if you live close to ...

Re: Thoughts on Hankooks?

Thanks Revilo. I always considered PS4S as the safe choice too.

I suppose it's probably only my inner snobbery telling me Hankook is not good enough... You're right Hankooks are fitted from the factory in the new RS models now (all the way up to the RSQ8 I believe?)

Re: Maintenance service soon…

Good to see your car going strong at that mileage! I usually change the air filter and brake fluid every 2 years. In the UK, Audi recommends a major service every 40k miles (60-65k km). Essentially spark plugs, diff oil, in addition to the usual service items. Not sure if you had these done recently...

Re: Rs6 c7 warm start problems please help

Glad you got it sorted! Hopefully just teething issues, now you can unleash the V8. From my research, these high pressure fuel pumps seem to fail prematurely on quite a few examples. I believe the part is only around 400 each, so hopefully a good indy can do your other one for a good price! You ment...

Thoughts on Hankooks?

Hi all, I'm new here, so please be easy. My daily is a 2017 RS6 Performance, 58k miles on the clock. My fronts are wearing thin on tread now, and wondered if Hankooks are actually inferior in daily driving? I got the car with Continental Sport Contact 5's at the front and Hankook Ventus S1 Evo3's at...

Re: Coolant for rs6 c7

Hi Nick, Had exactly same issue with mine (2017 Performance) last month - I wonder the common denominators were the cold weather and infrequent usage. Took mine to Audi OEM dealer as still under warranty, they diagnosed leaking water pump and waiting for parts now. Apparently quite a common issue on...
