Ah I wish mine was fixed. I think it’s maybe a bit better but the noise is still there. My dealer is now trying to source a RS4 with DRC to see it’s a symptom/feature of DRC before they do anything else. Unfortunately they don’t have any at the dealer in Aberdeen. Or Inverness, Perth or Dundee. I’m guessing you ain’t anywhere nearby Mark?

Sadly not. In Glos. Put a message out on here in new thread asking if anyone nearby. Good luck.

It's definitely not a feature of DRC.

A short while after I got mine the knocking started and while trying to work out what it was, I discovered a leaky damper. However the mechanic the seller initially sent me to found the exhaust was very close to a cross-member and after some adjustment there was no knocking at all. Still got the damper replaced, but it's worth checking how close the exhaust is to the cross-members.

Other things I found as possible sources during my search were the D rings from the luggage pack not being fixed properly in their storage cubby can have a little bit of play and bump around, and the warning triangle in the boot lid could move side to side a bit.
