Paranoia setting in..

Post by playle46 » Mon Oct 29, 2012 6:26 pm

Apologies for the usual query on DRC but wondered if someone could explain the elements of DRC as I'm now heading for a padded cell.

Symptom: clunky rattle seemingly from the rear when the car is cold going over small bumps/ripples in the road. After warming up, nothing.

Car has been back to Audi for a heavier clonking on the front and they replaced the front o/s DRC - this has resolved that one. I've been able to have a look at all remaining shocks and I can't see any visible leaks. So does this mean it's me/something else/or what does the gas pressure that I read about mean?

Got the name of a knowledgable guy at Cemberley Audi so might just try that.

Must get some pictues or the car up soon.

It's not unknown for the system not to be pressurised correctly - too low a pressure could result in some clonking.
