It is a UK car.

Took it for a spin last night, Jez it Quick!!!!!!

In a straight line i don't think I've driven anything close to it..........

In respect of the DRC I have noticed a few comments about actually replacing the whole system with Coil overs not to sound stupid but has anyone here carrie this out and what were the approx costs.
I say this because Audi are still repairing the DRC on the car under Warrenty but i don't think they will continue this indefinetly and it would be good to have an idea of the other options out there.

Grizz and MRC replace the DRC with coil-overs, either KWs or PSS9s. Routine job and one that's recommended if you have DRC woes.

Luckily for me (touch wood) I've had no problems :)

hhhmmm....Audi wont warranty (renew) cars over 100k will they, so your going to be out in cold once the current warranty expires, although if they are repairing the DRC now then it should be covered for another 2 years...but beware, Audi stealers will devils in disguise

So far (touch wood) noone who has had the DRC replaced in the last few months (3rd generation) has reported any problems. So if its still under warranty I would, personally, get them to fit the new DRC. But beware who fits it, some Audi dealers can and some obviously cant!!!!
