I remember feeling similar about the tracking when I got mine. However a DRC replacement combined with a new set of Michelin PS2s almost completely eradicated the problem except over the most rutted of roads..... Not sure which had the biggest impact - Worth noting though that when the tyres came of...

Thanks Lig. I had a look last night and can see a nicely oiled shaft (oo-err) although there did seem to be a bit of a rubber boot there, but it certainly didn't cover the whole of the piston. Will ring the dealer and make sure they get the boots too.

I don't suppose anyone has a picture of the new boots do they? My DRC was replaced in Oct (all four shocks + valves) and now 3500 miles later it needs doing again.... I've had a look at the shocks to see if the boots are fitted on the current (dead) shocks but don't really know what I'm looking for....

I can't decide whether the warranty I have got is either a complete bargain, or I have missed something fundamental!. Bought the car second hand from the dealer - so comes with a 12 month waranty as it is an "audi approved" vehicle. I was given the option at the time of purchase to extend this for o...

RE: Re: RE: i pod connectivity

I have been speaking to ipodcarkitdirect.com about this. They said that the Denison that you plug in to the cd won't work and that you have to use the one that plugs in via the aerial (so fm signal, but a bit more reliable than those naff transmitter ones). I suspect that if you use this type you ar...

RE: Re: RE: 4 shocks in as many months

Yup - still have it! Engine management light issue fixed when they found a sticky valve in the emissions control system which was confusing the system. I had loan cars for my first 3 weeks of owning the RS! Have had 3000 touble free miles now. Even starts when its warm! God knows how much they spent...

RE: 4 shocks in as many months

Mine is currently having all four shocks and both valves done. Dealer actually said to me "only two shocks are leaking but as they are both at the front that means we need to do all four and both valves". Two of the shocks were done in December last year (previous owner) but not sure the valve was d...

I am about to have 40k service on mine. My local dealer (dahn sarf) have quoted £630 excluding the cambelt (thankfully the dealer I bought mine off agreed to do it before I bought it 2000 miles ago :lol:) . Apparently an extra £95 if the brake fluid needs changing.

Many thanks for increasing my knowledge on this issue!

Interesting - wonder what they will be doing to my car for the 2/3 days they "need it" to repalce this pump.... if it doesn't have one!! LOL

If anyone else knows anything about whether the RS6 has a scavenger pump I'd love to hear from you!

Scavenger pump

Hi there - anyone heard of an RS6 having to have a scavenger pump replaced to fix a "long term" engine management light issue?

Anyone shed any light on what it does too - I believe it is something to do with oil circulation....

Thanks
