picked up a 2005 allroad

[James Brown]

cream puff? hope so, only 53k on her and everything working as it should, got a good warranty with it also. nice car and my DD

[onewhippedpuppy]

Nice! Is it the 2.7TT? Except for the sometimes problematic air suspension I think they are pretty solid cars, and you can always convert the air suspension to a conventional coil spring setup.

[pavulon]

always wanted a 4.2. still do. you're not helping

[tedg04]

Congrats. I'd love a 2.7 model for a DD, with the air susp still in tact (there are aftermarket bags and pumps that seem to hold up well).

[James Brown]

yup. 2.7, airbags work, got the XM turned on. I'm ready for a road trip!!

No offense intended but arnt 2.7tt audis a bit um.........problematic? I have heard some horror stories.

I think it looks fantastic. I love wagons.

[James Brown]

no there fine, better than the big 3 auto makers, but who knows. as of now it goes like stink when them turbos kick in!!

[VW_NUTT]

check the timing belt! Air bags from Arnott Industries are the best option if you need to replace them. We like our a lot, its like a tank in the snow. We have never been let down with ours but it sure is thirsty!

I really do hope your ownership is troublefree and enjoyable. However, the internet definiately doesnt agree with you on this. Unless your definition of big 3 is: volkswagon, volkswagon, and volkswagon


An amusing thread about a 20$ allroad

I bought a 2001 Audi Allroad for $20 - NASIOC

[sand_man]

I always wanted one. Couldn't afford one when new, and feared the maintenance on pre-owned. I don't know...still lust for one.

Poorly maintained 2.7Ts can blow turbos, but that's about it. The 4.2 on the other hand...
