Got the Suspension System Fault - You can continue driving 3 times in 2 days.
2017 RS6 Performance with DRC, 5000 miles, car is bone stock except for Milltek exhaust plugs.
Curious to see whether it is one of the level sensors.

Tartan Rob on here is having all of his shocks replaced under warranty., 2014 car, 36k miles; his has been sat in the dealer for 2 weeks; accordingly they are waiting on an "upgraded part" - worst thing is that they are around £1500 per corner apparently, says the service manager, if not covered under a warranty.

First feedback from the dealership: rear left damper fault. Discussions on-going with the factory as to whether the damper needs to be replaced.
Not quite sure how else they could resolve the problem.

Here is the faulty damper:

And an interesting explanation on Audi's DRC hydraulic linkage:

Had a knocking on my 2015 F/L RS7 when I bought it even though I asked Bexley Audi, the dealership I bought it for: to check them on the approved scheme who said it was fine.

Knocking was coming from near side rear. Audi replaced all 4 FOC under warranty with an ‘upgraded system’
