'14 RS7 DST Rear Shock Failure?

[VPRS7]

Anyone had a rear shock failure. My '14 RS7 with DST only has 58,000 km. I got a suspension warning light and found a little oil 20 cm stain on the floor of my garage under the centre of the car. I have the KW HAS Took care to Audi and just got a call saying that the right rear shock is covered in dust and oil and is the likely culprit. The shock may be leaking, but I cant see how the stain on my floor has anything to do with that.

My other concern is that they will now say "aftermarket mods" no coverage......... I also got TD1 flagged 6 months ago for my Unitronic tune...........

You shouldn’t have taken it to the dealer with aftermarket parts. They will probably charge you for diagnosis and say they don’t have those parts.

There was also a recall, so I didn't really have a choice. I do hate my dealer as they tried to bill me last time for a trouble light diagnosis when they found the tune flash, but I argued and they backed off (after being flagged)

If they deny the claim I'd just switch to coilovers. DRC never seems to hold up long-term.

Sorry.. diff focus item.. I thought the "Unitronic tune" was removable, was it removed and Audi still detected it?
