I found them very courteous and helpful as well. But after 4 attempts to get my DRC working correctly, and the master tech not listening to me (as a suspension engineer by trade), I moved to Camerons. At least they realised that the valves needed to be replaced every time the system was opened up. C...

They used the wrong engine oil, causing t...

Just tried it. Yes there is a vibration. Probably torque converter without any load on. I don't think there is anything to worry about........

I use Pagid blue. Very similar in behaviour as the standard pads, but without the fading. Disc wear is about the same as the standard pads as well.

By the way, it looks like DBA will release brake discs for the RS6 very shortly........

vibrations though the throttle pedal over ridges and short undulations Rather than start a new thread. Since reading jobg's comment above I've noticed several times this very thing. Driving the car seems to be fine but now I'm nervous on the above comment. Does anyone else sometimes feel a vibratio...

Are you sure that the front footwell isn'twet as well? When the pollen filter housing is not put together properly the water runs in, past the front footwell into the rear.

Hi, Just some more useless information. The reason why our DRC shocks are starting to leak is that the top seals are designed to keep the oil from passing when under pressure. When the pressure in the damper drops, the efficiency of the seals drops. So in short, the higher the constant pressure, the...

Once monotube dampers have run on too low a pressure and have cavitated, they will have 'sucked in' air through the seals. This seems to result in the dampers spitting out some damper oil during high spindle acceleration. If the dampers have too low a pressure in them a few characteristics will be d...

Suspension

After having my RS6 for 6 months now, and having ongoing suspension problems, I have had a closer look at the DRC system. I did not realise that the DRC suspension has monotube dampers rather than twin tube. I also found out that the Audi 'vacuum/filling tool' only pressures upto 5 bar. Monotube dam...

RE: Re: RE: Superchips?

Thanks, I just realised that they do not touch the gearbox programming. It looks like the good ones alter the gearbox program to get the gearchanges smooth with the extra torque..............

Superchips?

Anyone know what the Superchips RS6 programming is like?

Good or leave well alone?
