Active Body Control Reliability & Warranty Q
I've been on some of the Audi forums reading about problems owners are having with their DRC system (which sounds very similar to the ABC) leaking, failing etc at very early intervals (i.e. under 10k miles) on the RS6 and now RS4.
Apparently, Audi only covers the system (shocks, hydraulics, valves) to 12k miles or 1 year and repairs are in the 3000-5000k range depending on what failed (valve, shocks etc)
Do you folks know how long MB covers the ABC system? Has it been reliable for you?

No, the ABC was a nightmare. I love the idea but they need a better pump and need to use only steel lines a la brake lines. However, I don't think there would be any need for flexible lines like the brakes use at each wheel.
