#353 of 413 Latch by w210 Jun 08, 2006 (2:16 am)
I have a 2004 with built in latch anchors, you should be able to get Audi to have them retrofit free of charge? check with your dealer, they added them to the 2002 A4 avant we used to drive without any cost to us.

#360 of 413 To chip or not to chip? by osrf Feb 23, 2007 (3:56 pm)
Replying to: shelleyp111 (Jun 08, 2006 5:06 am) I recently purchased a 2003 allroad 2.7T Quattro (pretty much fully-loaded except for a nav system) after coming out of a 4 year lease on a 2003 A4 1.8T Quattro.   I have read numerous post on a couple of different message boards about the allroad series, and after doing so, am feeling sorry that I didn't get a 6 speed manual rather than the auto w/TipTronic, but oh well, such is life.   I was contemplating getting the engine modified with the 'chip' however some of what I read on various sites (including here) gave me cause for pause, based on what folks had to say about effects on gas mileage, and the possibility of the warranty being voided due to having the vehicle modified.   I called the manager of the service department at the dealer I use here in California (Rusnak Westlake), and asked him about these two issues.   He stated that although adding a mod chip can void a warranty, if I was to get the chip work done Neuspeed, there would be no issue and they would be sure not to let it effect my warranty.   He said that he has dealt with them for years, and compared to the work that others do, they do not cause modifications that burn out turbos, or even worse, crack engine blocks (something he said that he has seen, when something called a APR chip was used).   As for the gas mileage, he stated that the in-town mileage would definitely suffer, because as was stated earlier in this thread by Mike(?), with the increased HP, people tend to get a heavier foot, and the turbos kicking in faster simply uses more fuel, so the stop-and-go driving just eats up even more fuel than usual.   That being said, I don't think I will be adding a chip...I'm averaging about 20 MPG/per tank, and with gas here in Cali at just below the $3/per range, I wouldn't want that to start eating up even more of my money.
