New and improved DRC Shocks installed in my RS6...

[audios]

If its taking any tech 15 hrs to do this theres the problem right there. It should be a 5 hr tops job if the tech knows the process. 15 hrs reeks of someone spending time on the phone to someone else asking what to do next or why something aint right///..Hell, it dosent take 15 hrs to take out the entire drivetrain!

was their first recal. didn't care how long it took as long as it got done right but apparently they couldn't do that. would have thought it would take towards 10. 2 hrs a corner plus an hr to hand pump the air out.plus the had to replace a line that broke.
felt like no pressure on one corner. i went over speed bump and front end bounced up and down with loud clanging. painful to hear,

called me to tell me it had blown a line. happened right after repair, during their test drive and din't catch or when i pulled out. seriously?

Very important.

If you drove at all with no fluid then both shocks in the "x" are toast. If you drove and heard clunking then both shocks are toast

audi must replace 2 struts. Do not let them re-use the struts.

Dave,
x? this was front right so that one and left rear are toast? assumed fronts and backs ran together. please confirm so i know what i'm arguing about when the time comes. will probably asking for a good contact at AoA.

thanks

You lost line pressure.

Both shocks on the "X" are toast.

0 line pressure means no fluid in the shock=shock piston hammering inside the housing=everything in the shock is garbage. Its right there in the RS6 literature.

So, if the line was the RR shock. Then you need RR and LF shocks replaced. Dont even let them tell you otherwise.

Edit: I would even go so far as to mark the two shocks so that you know they were changed. Its hard to tell if the Audi dealer knows the damage that was done. They may think your on crack or they may understand. But dont take any chances and keep on them.

thanks again for heads up. dealer called today to confirm the blown line and that they were waiting on a new line and two shocks to arrive.

Very good.

See the new thread with the RS6 study guide info you asked for...
