#7 of 9 im in over my head by jsup1 Mar 10, 2008 (12:57 pm)
need help...badly. purchased 6spd 01 allroad 7mos ago fr independent dealer,high mileage (68k), bought 3rd party extended warranty, got svc records fr audi dealer, car had been meticulously maintained, brought it to dealer for a look over...thought i took all the right steps. just had suspension work (1 new bag, 1 new "module",2new tires, alignment) 5k....was a big nut, but was hoping that was "worst case scenario, done & finished"...had timing belt changed same time b/c/it was "time".. 48 hours and less than 20 miles after getting car back (+1 short highway trip) and check engine light came on, next time out of the driveway lots of engine rumble and voila! no brakes! tech says ...brake vacuum hose that broke has nothing to do with the work that they did....does this sound right? and to boot as the car got on the flatbed for the 2nd time in two weeks, I noticed trim underneath headlights broken on one side, missing on the other.....wasn't the case when I brought the car in..I've heard techs will sometimes take fr bumper off to get to engine??true??
#8 of 9 Rotors by wikedwitch Oct 06, 2008 (6:42 am)
I have a 2001 Allroad 2.7T 6 speed. The car was purchased new in January 2002 (sat on the lot for a year because no one wanted a 6 speed). The car has 65,000 miles on it. I have had to replace the rotors 6 times since I purchased the car---once a year. Thankfully all have been under warranty (even after the 4 year Audi warranty because they had to be replaced within 1 year of installation). I repeatedly have asked the mechanics why my rotors continually warp and they do not have an answer. It sounds like others have had a similar experience. Anyone know why this is happening and what a possible solution might be?
#9 of 9 2001 allroad front brake change by ottoman5656 Apr 30, 2009 (10:45 am)
I am getting ready to put new pads on my allroad. I looked at them today to see what the job looked like. I do not see how to get the guide pins out? They are smooth wall so no socket will fit and the inside is smooth as well, so no allen wrench or anything will fit either? Am I missing something?
