There is a factory recall on the shocks and struts for the DRC system, it should be out in August 09. The factory is implimenting a new system to replace the old, resulting in changes to all four.

does the recall cover the UK?

I called Audi UK this morning and asked if the recall covered Audi UK, their answer was.......they can't speak about other countries but they would look in to it and get back to me........I've informed them any cost to resolve the problem on my car I will be seeking a total refund....will keep all responses posted........!!!!

sorry a bit late but yep mines had a few shocks and valves and pipes replaced so i did the honours

[Gig_Georg]

Had my coilovers fitted today...why did i even bother with trying to get drc fixed..so so much better!!

[andyt]

Quick question, I presume that the DRC on an RS6 Plus is exactly the same and suffers the same problems, yeah?

[grizz]

It's all the same...... Rubbish...

[mjc1010]

Had my coilovers fitted today...why did i even bother with trying to get drc fixed..so so much better!!

May I ask what was the cost and who did the work for the change over?

[Hartge]

Yep, the only difference on the Plus was a 10mm drop with the springs, which just means the ride is worse than a standard RS6 even when its fully working.
Mines just had its first failure, but I not even going to bother to get it repaired.
I cant wait until my DRC gets replaced this month by Grizz for H&R coilovers.

Work was done at PSI tuning in Stoke-on-trent. Cost was around 1500, depends on if anything is siesed up etc. Unit20 also have a very good rep. for doig the same work, cost about the same.
Also had two resonators removed from exhaust, now sounds beautifull..
