My turn now :(

I had the recall a couple of months ago. Yesterday I took the car to the washer and I got condensation in the right lamp.
I sent pictures to the dealer and I'm waiting for their feedback. I told them to let me know when they'll pick up the car to chance the lamp. Let's see.

Same here...restarted and all fine. Maybe I'm too laid back or getting a touch older that little niggles like that don't consume me day and night...., will ask them to check on next service.

Ok, last week they gave me an A6, replaced the rubber sealing and brought me back the car to the office in the evening.
Not too shabby after all.

DRL failure following 2 weeks of intermittent failure. Would reset itself on restart but now gone completely.
Booked into Cardiff Audi, 'never had this problem before sir'...not aware of any issues or recalls.
Shabby on a car of this value.

This is amazing to read on a car of this value, I will be on the look out, however one would hope its resolved in current production models.

I have just reported condensation in my Headlight to my dealer prior to having a service soon and they have responded, if the condensation effects the light beam it can be changed!! :?

Popped into the dealer today after nearside DRL and sidelight failed. Spoke to the technician who knew far more than the service advisor - according to him there was no recall.
Two new headlights on order.

I went to my dealer in HK the other day and casually asked what issues they had with RS6's here, he said with an ashamed look, "the day running LED lights sir"

I assume this is what it's going in for. I'd had the DRL problem on and off for a few weeks, but last week it went off and never came back on.

I took it in on Friday and the Tech mentioned the recall - and to bring it in when they get the parts. Infuriatingly, when I first went in, I knew more than the service advisor who denied the recall existed. Grrr.
