Not applicable. Service 1. An oil film running down a shock absorber indicates that it leaks. The shock absorber must only be replaced if this leak can be clearly assigned to it, as shown in the picture. (Figure 1) Figure 1. DRC shock absorber with clear oil loss. 2. A minor oil film and a resulting dirt build-up are no indication of a leak. They result from oil residues during the installation or caused by "sweating" of the shock absorber. There is no restriction in the function of the shock absorber. Tests with such components show that the shock absorbers are in perfect working order. Do not replace any components. The following illustrations show examples of non-leaking or "sweating" shock absorbers (Figures 2 - 4). Page 2 of 4 © 2021 Audi of America, Inc. All rights reserved.
