Nevermindthebollocks

I have a 2007 B7 RS4 Avant - I am 2nd owner had it for 3 years since 30,000Km - now has 76K on it. I love the car and feel it is worth spending money, as opposed to spitting the dummy and starting over. To date it is been super reliable other than $3K to replace steering motor due a bearing failure and another $1K for a a #2 intake sensor replace and decarb.

1) Brakes coming due - expect this will require discs all round too
2) More recently the suspension has started to rattle/knock a lot over short sharp bumpy surfaces (poor description, like rutted surfaces).
3) The number 2 intake sensor starting to flash the EPC again - my local shop recently replaced the whole intake manifold on account of this - on account it was restricted movement of the flap assemble as opposed to the sensor, there is a kit to fix but requires complete dis-assemble of the inlet manifold)

Any thoughts / recommendations welcome.

Just had the beast up on the lift - front left shock well leaking and starting to show a leak on from right. Rears have little obvious signs of a leak.

Getting some numbers together for Bilstein Shocks and also KW Conversions.

Like the sound of KWs but not sure with my driving I will get any great benefit and do not imagine I would ever be adjusting once set up.

Brakes - can go on for a while longer....phew ! Just get the annoying brake squeal when the pads rub on lips when very hot. May even get away with running another set of pads yet

You probably should plan on having the drc serviced. Audi had a recall on them in the USA.
