I'm curious, purely because I have not had this misfortune hanbury, but what sort of driving conditions to you encounter? Mostly country roads, high cornering forces, adverse cambers? I wonder how you have been unlucky to manage to have your shocks replced so many times yet in 17000 miles of drivin...

Sorry, just to pick up on Ozrs4 point about whether this is dangerous. On each occasion that my shocks have gone I have had two symptoms, i) a knocking on rebound (normally at slow speed over speed ramps) and ii) tramlining/tracking for no apparent reason on a variety of road surfaces. I had kept th...

Ozrs4 you have my sympathy but I can't say I'm surprised. I have now had shocks replaced on three seperate occasions in the last four months/5000 miles. Most recently , my car was in this week for two new front shocks just four weeks/1,000 miles since the last time (when one of the fronts was replac...

Mirrors fine but I have had the front grille replaced under warranty due to flaking - no arguments from dealer.

Finally got mine back after about 5 weeks. Hopefully get to try it out properly over the weekend.

Also got my letter from Audi this morning too. Standard 'we're looking into it' and 'thanks for your patience'.

Only time will tell on both fronts....

OK, dealer checked this morning and gave it the all clear. Said the seep was "within normal working parameters" and nothing to worry about (they showed me the manufacturers instructions for a leaking shock and if it's "wet" it needs replacing, but otherwise it's OK). I really have no technical know...

Hurrah! just had a call from the stealer - they have the fluid!! She was explaining why they wouldn't have it done until Thursday because it is apparently a big job - I pointed out that I know all this as it was only done a couple of months ago! Of course, none of this make sme feel much better - wh...

I havent had a reply as yet - did you get one?

Do you really need to ask?

I was going to give it a couple more days and then chase but you have inspired me to drop an e-mail right now! I'll be sure to post as and when I hear anything.

Could this have happened in 10 days (and 200 miles) or was the dealer talking bollocks?! Can't be sure but have my suspicions.... Those with knowledge of this, based on the photo is this going to need replacing ASAP (As Soon As Parts are available ), or will it come under the "minor weep, keep an e...

So if you've been without your car for 4 weeks I would suggest your dealer isn't trying and a sense of humour failure with the dealer principle might help ! I have complained to Jeremy Hicks at Audi UK and been promised by his assistant that they (and local stealer) are doing all they can. You migh...

Well I hope you're right about the fluid - I've been without my car for just about four weeks now. :( As for Audi being as frustrated as us... maybe. I guess they must at least be getting a tad hacked off with all the letters and e-mails. But the proof will only be evidenced by them actually doing s...

I went from MK IV R32 to the RS4 just over a year ago. I loved the R32 and still miss it sometimes but it really doesn't compare to the RS4. Someone else (maybe on this forum) decsribed the RS4 as an R32 on steroids which I thought was very apt. Although my R32 was four doors the size of the RS4 (mi...

I have used it within the last three weeks and had a very speedy response. I'm sure you know how to approach this but, if you did want any advice, mine would be... 'be nice' (to start with at least.

Good luck!

So how many have sent letters now? How many had a response? I had a response about in May saying they were looking at it but nothing since. In teh end I wrote (and e-mailed) mid June. Had a very quick e-mail response from Jeremy Hicks which led to my getting a 'more appropriate' loan car and the pr...

Just popped in to local stealer to retrieve some cleaning gear from my motor while it sits on their lot awaiting second set of shocks in 3000 miles (only need cleaning gear because loaner was filthy when I collected it!). Anyway, service bloke says they may have some fluid next week (contrary to Aud...
