#302 of 413 Re: Beware Audi Customers...this could happen to you [flatsurf] by d4bjd0 Jun 05, 2005 (8:19 am)
Replying to: flatsurf (Jun 01, 2005 4:57 pm) Holy Moly! Is this for real? If so.. I cannot believe a company would treat a customer like this! Have you suggested that one of the previous technicians may have "chipped" the car to improve performance and get it out of the shop? I would insist that they "visually" prove it. (i.e. "show" you what lead them to believe you chipped it. Code comparisons, the actual chip on the board, etc..) They should be able to show you. Another "guilty until proven innocent" situation! I have an '01. I hope I don't have any issues.   Regards,   BD

Replying to: markcincinnati (Mar 14, 2004 9:07 am) Hi Mark....   I own a 2003 Audi Allroad 2.5Tdi and have exactly the same "drive by wire" throttle problem. It is so bad, that I have treatened to sell the car!   After being told repleadedly by Audi that it is my driving style....reading your note finally convinces me that I am not alone in my concern about the dead throttle problem. I intend using this to rub their noses in this - but it does not take away the real safety problem I have - so elequently descibed by you!   Do you know if there is an Audi software fix for this?   Thanks again, Hendrik

Replying to: tonester (Apr 19, 2004 6:20 am) I'm so glad to find this website... what a wealth of knowledge here. And very informative and intelligent posts. I'm thinking of purchasing the H-sport sway bars from here: http://www.pure-motorsport.com/products/description.php/II=726/CA=216/PA=7   I'm sure these are good but are there others out there to compare against? How has your ride improved on a scale of....moderately noticeable to very noticable and in what condition/situation where you feel you got your money's worth?   Also, where can I get these installed and does it void my warranty? My allroad is 03 with 18K miles.   Thanks much.
#305 of 413 Re: Buying a used Allroad '03 vs new A4 Avant [matthewsager] by 2xaudi Jun 09, 2005 (7:17 pm)
Replying to: matthewsager (Jun 04, 2005 2:48 am) I just bought an 03 used in Sept of 04. It was a Audi PC car. Definitely saved big money on it. Basically look up the trade-in value of the car with options you like at kbb.com and give the dealer $500 over (guaranteed they paid less for it as a lease return or trade in). I bought a lease return that had only 11K miles on it with the remainder of the 4/50 warranty and the addl 2 year and up to 100K on the drivetrain. Most dealers at the time wanted $41K for it. I got it for $36K - this is a fully loaded allroad.   So far... knock on wood, the car has been a champ. Any warranty issue i've had has been minor and Audi dealers are good at taking care of any little detail you want addressed. The Gas Mileage is not that great at 300 mi. to the tank (with city driving) vs. 380 mi. to the tank in my wife's older A6 -- but she can't drive a A6 down a dirt road too well.   The styling is elegant and understated but with an agressive posture, I still like going to my car everyday to go to work and when I make the drive home -- just a nice feeling through and through.   Performance is great at speed (from the line there's a turbo lag, it's not a race car). The turbos are great for uphills and on the freeway... you can bump it up to 290HP from a 250HP with a chip and I'm sure it'll be worth it.   If you don't plan on taking the car offroad or don't need the height adjustment the A4 Avant would be a great street car, I drove an A6 Avant for 6 years before moving to this one. Audi's overall is a great pleasure to own... Replies to this message: matthewsager (Jun 13, 2005 4:36 pm)

Replying to: 2xaudi (Jun 09, 2005 7:17 pm) Thanks for the tips. The capacity for offroad is not what I need out of the car. I actually own a VW with the 1.8T engine and a chip upgrade giving it 200HP and it is one of the things I love about driving it. That is initially why I was contemplating the 2.7T-although I would not likely chip the car, the turbo engines themselves are elegant and powerful. I am 6'3" and I am somewhat concerned about the room in the back of the A4. The Allroad sounds like it has treated you well. Most of the '03 leases I am looking at have around 40K to 50K miles on them, which is one of my concerns although I dont know if it should be.
#307 of 413 getting a used 01 allroad (6sp of course) by katone Jun 19, 2005 (12:40 am)
we're a young couple and can't afford to buy an allroad with less than 50K miles.. we could buy something new for the same price, or an A4 with lower miles even, but this allroad is too much for us to let it go. My question: at 50K miles, how much left do we have with the 2.7T engine? can it pass 100K easily? more maybe?   we plan on keeping it a while, would it cost a lot to rebuild, eventually, in 5-6 years? are the turbos reliable?   thanks for the tips, and can t wait to drive this baby!! vroooom!
#308 of 413 Tip and H sports by markcincinnati Jun 21, 2005 (4:20 am)
Tip chip is avail -- not from Audi. Google to find it. Part of the problem is the tip is designed to do this to save fuel.   H sports -- the best. Second choice, order the Audi brand rear anti-sway bar from the avant with sport suspension.   H sports improve everything. PSK option (Audi part) is good -- 20% stiffer than OE.   Dealer installed mine.   I have the 6spd, so no tip lag issues.
