KW COILOVER V3, both rear shocks leaking

Post by Rs6Rob » Mon Jul 15, 2019 8:03 pm

Took my car in for new tyres today, the tyre fitter noticed that both my rear KW v3 shocks appear to be leaking, they are both covered in oil. They've been on the car around 3 years, but I've only done about 9000km while they've been on the car.

Anyone else had any problems with the KW leaking?

Yes I have on my b5 RS4 on the front . My ones had done about 2-3k iirc. Not covered by warranty or any goodwill .Have to be repaired in pairs . Around £400 I seem to remember.

The admin of the RS6 V10 driver group on Facebook had the same issue twice with one of the front shocks.
