#370 of 413 Charlotte NC area 3rd party garage by rabbitrock Apr 02, 2008 (10:28 am)
Need a shop to do an Allroad timing belt replacement - trying to avoid factory service - wondered if anyone here could recommend a mechanic. Thank you.
#371 of 413 2004 allroad transient vibration by tomkorn1 May 17, 2008 (6:57 am)
my allroad has a vibration that that takes place when accelerating in 4th,5th and 6th gear from approx 60 mph up to 80 mph. the dealer technician went on a test drive with me and could not feel the vibration. he suggested a rear wheel balance. this was performed. it did solve the problem for 6 - 7 months now the vibration has returned. one other fact the vibration becomes quite pronounced after driving at highway speeds for an extended period of time. any ideas?

My lease on my '05 Allroad is up in a moth. I have 22,000 miles on the car. I am thinking of buying it at the end of the lease and would get an extended warranty and certifiication from my dealer. It's a great car but I've always turned back in my leased vehicles. Does it make sense to buy? Are they reliable? If I own it another 3 years will I have a hard time unloading it after that because it doesn't get great mileage? What's the best way to negotiate a better buy our with the finance company?   I'd love some eperienced feedback.
#373 of 413 Allroad experience in England / Water leak by amb_123 Jul 23, 2008 (4:00 am)
The drivers footwell on my 2001 Alroad gets very wet in a heavy rainfall can see the water running down the back of the glove compartment. Has anyone had a similar fault, I am unsure wether to strip out from the inside of the car or start with removing the wipers and move down from the engine compartment. I have noticed that a lot of people worry about the mileage with these cars I have the 2.5TD V6 engine which I have owned for 3 years it has now done 128,000 Miles with nothing more than the annual service requirements. In that time there has been some minor faults like the rear washer pipe came off and one of the rear electric windows does not work, probably burnt out by the Kids. But apart from that I cannot fault it I still find it a pleasure to come to work in and there are non of the annoying rattles and squeaks that you get with lesser quality vehicles as they get older. I drove across black ice with children on board last winter and did not lose control unlike two other vehicles following which were complete right off''s. Saw a 2002 model adervtised with 250,000 on the clock. Diesel now costing the equivalent $9.34 per gallon in England, everyone is slowing down but hopefully not selling their Allroads..

The drains in your battery tray are clogged. There are a number of holes in the area under the black cowl cover at the base of the windshield that eventually become clogged with leaves and other junk. You may find a significant amount of water in there. Feel around until you find the holes and pull out all the junk. I'm 99% certain this will cure your problem. It is common in the C5 A6 Audis.   Hope this helps. Replies to this message: amb_123 (Jul 23, 2008 5:34 am)

#377 of 413 Audi Allroad end of lease questions on warranties by robey Jul 22, 2008 (5:14 pm)
I am thinking of buying my 2005 Audi Allroad at the end of the lease. There is one year left of factory warranty. The dealer is suggesting they buy the lease from finance company; they certifiy it and give it an extended warranty for 2 more years, I buy it from them at the same price as I would have from the finance co., plus the waranty price. Is this the right way to go? Or should I pursue this another way?

Allroad resale values are in the tank, and will probably only go down. If your car is in good shape with low miles, depending on your buyout, it might be worth $17-20K. On the other hand, if you really like the car, buy it and drive it into the ground. There are many people with 100,000+ miles on the car, and with maintenance they are great cars. Eventually you'll have to replace CV joints and an airbag or two, but otherwise they're pretty durable and long-lived. CPO is a nice benefit, too.   I just bought my 2004 2.7T with 22,000 miles on the clock and paid what I believe to be a higher-than-market price after doing some research. But I love the car and the sting of the high price was soon forgotten. I can't imagine a car I want more than this one.   Hope this helps.
#379 of 413 AllRoad Flood by burgundy1 Jul 26, 2008 (1:37 pm)
For the second time I got into my AllRoad 2004 after a severe rain to find several inches of water. The first time the electrical system went haywire and I took it in for repairs which took aver a week. They told me leaves accumulate under the hood and the water has no where to go so it empties into the car. Strange! The same thing happened this past Thursday but my electricals seem ok for now. I cleaned out the leaves last week so the explanation they gave me seems unfeasible.   Has anyone else had this occurence?
