Air suspension problems by kambei
Dec 02, 2005 (3:33 pm)

Often when starting my 2002 Allroad I have to wait 15 to 30 seconds for the air supsension warning light to go off. The front end has dropped so low the tires are almost touching the wheel wells. Is this an indication of malfunction, or is it normal?

I just began having the same problem. It corresponded with a very cold snap here in DC. Anyone have a clue what's going on? Thanks

I took mine to the dealer this week for the same problem and was told that it was a front, left, air bladder that had sprung a leak. Repairs, including parts and labor, are in the neighborhood of $1,000. Ouch. I also was told that it is not advisable to continue driving the car until you get it repaired, lest you incur even more costly damage to the supension.

Had the exact same problem. I also have a 2002 with 60000 miles. My dealer diagnosed the problem as a drivers side bladder. We replaced both front bladders which includes stuts. The additional problem is the compressor can burn out from attempting to keep the bladder inflated. My total bill was $2700.00 Address this issue asap to avoid compressor problems.

Same problem here but with a 2001 with 73K miles, left front sporadically lowers. Troubling thing is that it will hold air.
 
For $2700 I hope the new bladders fixed it? Any clues why the symptom comes and goes?
 
shlusher, if only one was an issue, why did you replace both front? Anyone see any of the rears go?

Alignment problem by quattro
May 01, 2005 (12:10 am)

I have a 2003 Allroad and it has a perpetual alignment problem. The car always wants to steer to the right. I have taken it to the dealer 3 times and to an alignment specialist but the problem never goes away. I have checked tire pressure and that's not the problem. Does anyone have similar issue? I am suspecting it's either the wheels or the air suspension. Any idea anyone? I love the Allroad but this alignment issue is real annoying.
Any comment is appreciated.

I have the same problem exactly. I have 20k, and after the third trip to the dealer the alignment is a little better but still slightly off. The dealer said they had to reset the calibration on the height adjustment system, but without results. Interestingly, I learned separately that when you replace springs on a car to lower it or increase its clearance, it needs to be realigned. The Allroad must have a complex mechanism to make this adjustment on the fly as the care is raised and lowered. I wonder if this is a defect on some cars, or if this problem affects all of them.

Hi pbrab. Thanks for your input.
Mine is 03 with 26K miles on it. The alignment problem probably started from day one. I took my Allroad to the dealer 3 times and once to an alignment specialist. The dealer spent a lot of time adjusting the alignment but at the end it was the same. The alignment shop did better. The problem went away for a couple of weeks but eventually it came back. I suspect it has something to do with the air suspension too. If just one of the suspensions is slightly off this would cause the car to pull. Right?
Anyone having the same problem please post something. If other people are having the same problem then it's probably a defect and if enough people complain hopefully Audi will come up with a solution.

I have a 2001 allroad and I just got new tires and an alignment done. The car still pulls to the right. I have had some problems with my air suspension warning light coming on off and on. The dealer says, it's just a malfunction, but I think there is a flaw in the air suspension. Does anyone know anything else about this?
