Ladies and Gents,
I have been member of this forum for some years as I owned a S6 (build 1999) for a couple of years and recently bought myself a RS6 (2003)
I live in the Netherlands, that is Europe. (so excuse me for my language ;-) )
Now I found out that my DRC is not what it supposed to be.
So I am in the decision period what to do: repair of the DRC or replacing the entire DRC for shocks and springs.
I did try a search action on DRC and replacement but thus far all I read is that the DRC kind of uhmmm is of poor quality and needed to be repaired.
Also that some of you replaced the DRC with a complete set: KW set (variant 3) and also H&R, but with the latter I think to remember they used H&R springs to replace the OEM springs.
So I'm calling in your help about which mileage or km's you made with the new DRC struts installed before you needed to replace them again.
What mileage did you do with the after market shocks and springs like the KW v3.
Does the "rideability" of the RS6 change completely with the after market set.
And when I decide to do the repair is it better to renew all 4 of the struts at the same time?
I know the right rear is leaking som oil (according to the Audi engineer the leakage was not a problem. Uh huh?!?! Now I know better)
May be a better question is what should I have repaired of the DRC? (I do not know if there was some sort of recall action by Audi in Europe and if this Audi has been back for it; it is not in that "service-thing" I got with the RS6)
Thank you for any help as I could not find any on the Duth fora/forums/forea?!?!
