Help needed ASAP, it's freezing out here

Post by TinTin RS6 » Fri Feb 19, 2016 11:12 pm

Can anyone help please?
Got the car up at the moment, (rs6 2008), we've put a new rear suspension on back left but can't find the top up reservoir anywhere.
Can anyone help please

I'm not familiar with the C6 RS6 DRC system; however the DRC setup generally speaking is a pressured hydraulic system which requires special tools. You can't just ‘top’ it up.

Bloody hell, the guys at Audi didn't say anything.
We can't even find the reservoir though, let alone top it up, lol

You purchased a part from a customer facing team and not a technician. It's not their fault!

I strongly suggest that you don't drive the car and research further the DRC system in which you are dealing with. If you damage a central valve, that will be a very expensive part to replace.

Did you not do any research before attempting this? :bash:
Think you'll need a main dealer or a trip to Unit20. As Sam says, you could end up doing more damage! Fair play for working so late though, dedication.

Changed the shock, no lights came on to say it needed more fluid and couldn't find the reservoir.
After speaking to Audi this morning (the noise is still there), they have said that there is not a central reservoir but to top it up needs a specialist tool to open the valve at the top of the shock.
Only down side is I have to wait until Friday!
Thanks for your response though mate
