| 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. |

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? |

Be sure to read through the previous posts here--I think someone else had this same problem last week and I gave them this same advice: The water is isn't in the engine compartment, it is in the battery tray. It's at the base of the windshield under the black plastic cowl. You have to get in there and clean out the drain holes with your hands. They tend to accumulate leaves and debris and flood the compartment. I guarantee this is the problem, although I'm at a loss to explain why your dealer didn't know about it--it is a very common problem with C5 A6 Audis. Fix it ASAP before it fries your transmission module. There will probably be several inches of standing water, and once you clear the drains, it'll come pouring out the bottom of the car as it should. Hope this helps. |

This weekend I changed both my diverter valves for the 710N, While doing the work I found oil in the Charged Air Line of the Left DV. Is my left side turbo going? I have not noticed smoke coming out of the car, is there anything I can do to save the turbo? If not, can I replace only one turbo or does it have to be both? Car is a lighly used 2001 Allroad with 30,000miles. |

| The other day when I started my 2002 Audi Allroad and began to drive the car, it seemed like it didn't have much power. Then I realized there were 4 warning lights on the dash. I also realized the transmisson inidicator on the dash wasn't on letting me know if I was in drive, park, etc. I also realized the car felt like it was taking off in 3rd gear and wasn't shifting at all. I tried the manual tiptronic and couldn't shift the gears, couldn't down shift or up shift. Anybody have an idea of the what problem can be. A friend suggested it's electrical and perhaps disconnect and then reconnect the battery???????????// | |

Help! Our C5 allroad wouldn't shift from park into drive. We tried hitting the brake hard but the shift wouldn't budge. Car was put on a flatbed to the dealer. Dealer said there was rain water which got into the transmission as well as the master brake cylinder. Parts cost will be $3800+, labor obvoiusly much as well. I don't know a lot about cars but for sure the transmission and master brake cylinders are SEALED. We don't see transmission or brake fluid spewing out of them, do we? Then how was mere rain water get in? If water can enter these components, does this mean I cannot drive in the rain ... or take the allroad thru a car wash? What gives? Help!!! Frustrated in Greenwich ... |

| I have a 2002 allroad (99k miles) and have sunk $10,000 (since 85k miles) into it in the past year, includes timing belt ($1,500), 2 front air shocks ($1,800), transmission control module ($1,600, the dame part was $1,350 by itself) amongst other smaller repairs (by small I would say $800 is getting off cheap). I know they say don't sell in a down market, but let me tell you, SELL. | |

I'm purchasing an 03 Allroad with 66k and I am looking for some feedback in regards to maintanence. What should I be concerned with? Timing belt? Air-ride systmen? I would also like to increase the HP, so I'm considering a chip or direct post program and sport bi-pass valves? Any suggestions? thanks
