    Do you consider the incidence of failure high?

    In Reply to: DRC Warranty is 1yr/12,000 mi but... posted by sparkhill on 2008-09-19 19:14:27

    sure, there's quite a few bad DRC's being mentioned here, but that's just here...maybe 20 claims out of approx 4000 RS4's sold.

    Still, the new one leaking on the showroom floor was unsettling, to say the least. That alone would have me running from DRC. And I don't believe that owners should HAVE to get aftermarket suspension because of DRC failures. If you want to upgrade, fine. If your $70k car's suspension is failing within a year or so, that's not acceptable.

    i also don't understand the deal with fluid leaks being at the center of all DRC failure. All shocks/struts have fluid. Bad seals on Audi DRC?... pressure related problem? What gives with this POS system?
