15 'reads' Mick and no suggestions...can I ask why you want to know technical data on the DRC#s plumbing? Are you using an independent to verify what the dealer is saying perhaps?

I had mine changed out, but I have no idea what pressure they are.
From what I understand it’s a pre pressurised system ready to install? Correct me if I’m wrong.
Basically if it rattles, it’s broken.

No it has to be pressurised by the dealer. From memory it is in the order of 20 bar - very high - but your dealer will give you an accurate figure.

Thanks both, just picked the car up and told the system is at 15bar if drops below 14bar then it will be replaced , I had read that it was pressured at 16bar so wanted to confirm as I now have zero confidence in my dealer.
They have confirmed the noise and said replacement will only happen if a) drops below 14bar (14-15bar min operating pressure, which I find weird on a sealed system. B) if the noise gets unbearable

had a lot of issues with my DRC. (and still does not have the ride comfort it should have). one advice if it is noisy something is broken! so go ahead with it and do not believe your dealer. Audi knows very well the problem they have with the drc system so if there is noise ---> they need to fix it ( mine they changed 3 times all the valves before "finding" the problem)
