DRC Repair Procedure Changes

[mdegracia]

Brought the car in this morning for the gas tank rollover valve recall. Also had them look into the DRC campaign status.

Apparently, the car received the campaign back in 2009. Ok, so why is the rear end still clunking? Has anybody had the campaign performed and then had followup issues? Just curious.

I asked him to re-inspect the DRC system for leaks. Hopefully he does it....I hate having to be dependent on dealers for this kind of shit, sually do my own work or work directly with my indy.

well, I did the same yesterday...

Had the RS tech @ Hoehn drain the accumulators and repressurize the DRC system:
Yeah! = no more squeaks, thunks
Booo! = looks like it rides about ANOTHER inch higher and they set the tire pressure @ 40 so the Kooks howl a little and are too hard. I can stick my entire four fingers between the tire and the wheel well lip - Pathetic!!!! I bet there is sooo much pressure on the system that the struts are nearly fully extended...

Current lunch money tally = $1455... almost there (Red 5)....

Ben, did they say they were gonna tighten rear suspension while loaded? Or up in the air (wrong)

They refused to touch it...

my car was originally sold by Hoehn Audi and the DRC recall was also done there. And yep, when I got my car, the rear end was sky high.

(buying a car with 80K on the odometer feels safer when the receipts for every service and oil change with the car is a giant stack....)

btw, I set my tires to 42psi and I've got Hankooks too. Anything less and the car's handling doesn't feel right.
