After hitting some nasty potholes, my RS5 developed a knocking noise at the NSR. After several investigations and search’s I found a pinhole in the hydraulic hose on the FOS just below the crimp where it goes into the valve block. I have removed the hose but not before shearing of both steel pipes in the process. The bottom one (hose to strut) I can fix and probably the top one too (hose/valve to main pipe line) it’s starting to look expensive bearing in mind the other 3 corners could/will be in a similar condition. What is the best route to take? I really wanted to keep the car factory standard because it’s the last one in UK in Imola Yellow that’s in factory spec (only 2 came into UK in 2011 in Imola yellow and the other one has been altered). Saying that, can I fit non DRC dampers and leave all the pipelines and whatever else in situ with a view to putting it right in the future?
