Chris. Need to see some logs with your new setup. Where's your private runway/test track?
The hybrid turbo, Race nozzles and remap you fitted to my car have turned it into a monster. I am glad 6th gear is so long (busted 5th synchro). Loads of torque from 60mph (2k rpm) to ???mph (4k rpm)...
Do you have friends in the US? 034 Motorsport do an allroad centre bearing - Driveshaft Support, C5 Audi Allroad - 034Motorsport | Performance Parts for Audi, Porsche, and Volkswagen for US$ 99.50. If you're paying for shipping i would also get a pair of street density engine mounts and a poly...
Perfect timing. Apologies Chris, for the thread-jack, but it's sort of related.
I am also looking for tyres for my 20" 8.5" wide A8 wheels for my C5 allroad. Read up lots on loads rating. Currently got 225/55/17 (97Y) on stock 5 spoke rims, 2.1bar all round. Feels way too floaty.
Hope i've...
Have you tried Ferodo DS2500 pads? Before I bought mine I tried 3 different types of pads. None of them were any good. The Ferodo pads are fantastic. It was tricky sourcing them. They do not have one for the allroad, but I found out that the C6 allroad has the same fitment which is ever so...
RichardJ. Trust me. I felt the same way when things started going wrong with mine. Bought it with 147k. It spent 3 months at the garage, took delivery 3 times and had to take it back within 10miles as it developed issues specifically related to the repairs, including a slack timing belt!
The...
This happened to my allroad 2.5tdi after 1 month of ownership. I had to overtake a parked lorry on the side of the road. Booted it and whammo. No power. Lots of noise. Pulled over and checked for boost leaks, oil or gearbox fluid leaks. The engine was running so rough and there was a rhythmic...
Sorry Wesmaster, but Nathan, you don't need the rebuild kits to repair your air spring. If you plan to refresh your suspension, then yes, you'll need the bolts and O-rings. If it's a small leak (not a full on tear) then a can of Tyre-Weld (much better than tyre Slime) may keep you going for a...
Gutted to hear your steering rack needs changing. Although i haven't changed this on my C5, having spoken to people who have, this is a nightmare job.
Some poor fella is facing the same hardships on Audizine Steering Rack 3rd Bolt (from underneath)?
Chris. Yikes, that looks nasty. I was lucky when my engine was spitting out it's rocker arms, the valves failed-shut.
I'm sure my flywheel and clutch are worn because it has started to judder more than usual............. How long did it take to get that 2.5 v6 TDi lump out?
With everything...
When i first got my allroad a few years ago the best i got was 530miles (36mpg combined) to a tank of ordinary diesel. She would start almost telepathically as soon as i turned the key and I would lug the engine everywhere keeping the engine in max torque band (1800rpm). Car came with genuine...
Chris - Got it. Of course. You run the same tyres all round. You just have to be careful when parking. Your car looks so different. So used to seeing it on the Fat Fives.
N8 - are those RS brakes?
N8 - I accidentally let out an expletive when i saw the images of your car at work. **EDIT** Maybe it's the camera angles, but can you get full lock? Is it on airbags? It must scrape going over speed bumps, right? It's almost BTCC stance. Just looks mean.
Chris - You have a 2nd set? Work is...
Err. N8. Can you even get full lock? The office is quiet and i just dropped the F-bomb (four letter word).
I really need a set. And now i have to drive to another site in my balloon-tyred-allroad.
Dayum Chris! With your uprated ARB's and low-profile tyres... err, when did you say you were free for a test drive?
Do you have a 2nd set of S8's for me? The engine mods can wait. I agree the allroad looks right on 20" wheels.
I guess you're grateful for the low gearing in 1st and 2nd to get...
Chris,
That looks so nice. The wheels completely change the look of the car. I've just looked out of the window at mine in the carpark and I'm afraid to say she looks crapola. Looks like the cars that feature on Audizine.
I really want a set for mine. How does it drive on the elastic band...
You won't meet a nicer guy. Helpful and courteous. We had a laugh whilst working too. Many thanks again Chris. Now... ummm... about those power mods we were talking about!
