The last thing I wanted was to be the person you vent your anger at.

1 - I'm not selling the RS6 or the RS4.
2 - Running this site is something I do in my spare time, which is at a premium at the moment.
3 - I have had regular disussions with ACS.

Obviously you guys want more, so go ahead and do what you think is best. I will continue to do what I can, when I can.

Well, mine's in on Tuesday for DRC repressurisation. Clanking from rear of car over bumps when cold (diagonal to wheel being bumped), lol.
So got rid of it and bought a Golf
Hey Godfather, it wasn't that 650Bhp golf I saw was it?? :lol:

My cars shocks and valves were changes 1500 ish miles ago.

Last week while in Audi i was told the front shocks are leaking again.

Now waiting to see what AudiUK are going to do this time.

And just for the record, i asked Audi to look at the shocks again because i had my suspicions they were playing up.

Time will tell.

Phil, despite your obvious discontent we collectively appreciate your efforts however and in response to your vague replies and in the absense of no feedback on such an important issue you volunteered to pursue for and on behalf of us, all we need is some continuity and perhaps more importantly some feedback not sort it yourselves if you can do better replies!!! You're not the only one who works for a living you know....!!! :?

Apart from that it would appear that ACS are either ignoring all attempts to contact them or they would much prefer you to continue with your vital connectivity!!! :shock:

Please do not however mistake our attempts to gain feedback as anger, we as owners are smitten or potentially smitten with an ongoing engineering deficiency and accordingly are eager to let they in ACS know of our frustration....backing down from all future comms on this subject so as not to alienate the hand that could potentially feed us....good luck mate :beerchug:

Well said Mugello, I'll double that and ask you to stay on the case Phil.

Use mine as an example, It's got leaking shocks again, this will be the 3rd leak in about 2-3 months :(

:lol: RSVI, how do you drive yours??? Do you get it repaired under warranty, or do they make you pay for it?

Shocking, isn't it. ;)

Here's hoping they fix mine today (yeah right).

Feck me, my '6 had a DRC recharge today and wow, what a difference. It actually corners fast now (as long as I don't overcook them, went sideways earlier... oooops)!

Wish I knew it would last, but I can hope :lol:

I drive the car the way it's been made to be driven, when the wifes not with me anyway ;)

To be far i'm not racing every corner but do like to feel the G's coming out of a corner now and again.

Car's still under waranty so Audi are still paying.

When i had 5 x shocks it was great for 1200 miles. now it's slowly going down hill :(


As you said "Shocking" :D

Been 700 miles since my o/s/r shock was replaced and she still goes round bends!!!! as the chav in his cav found out tonight ;-)
