Easy fix....ditch the big wheels!

Greg, I'd chance a secondhand box.. It's very unlikely that the reason the donor car's sitting in the scrap yard is down to the gearbox.....Audi have helpfully engineered loads of other areas that wil write the car off.. If you're buying from ebay, always pay with Paypal to get buyer...

My condolences...you seem to attack jobs on the car in a way that's very familiar to me.... Anyway, I found the best way to get the pinch bolt out was to put a nice tight socket on the bolt head end and lever it with a long piece of scaffolding pole... It will either break the rusty hold or...

Hi, If you have any luck with this, please let me know....I'm still looking!

Hi, Haynes don't publish a Manual that covers the C5 Platform of the Allroad, which is a shame because they offer good basic mechanical information. A Bently manual exists (for a price) but doesn't cover the Diesel. The Bently Manual I bought for my old Mercedes was next-to-useless anyway...

Guys, Can I chabge the centre diff oil, or is it lubricated by the transmission? What about the rear diff? Is it normal Hypoid? There's more... How do I get the two-piece alloys apart? There appears to be Torx bolts on them but a T40 is too small and a T45 is too big... Anyone managed to...

Giys, Anyone managed to make this work with the 2.5 Diesel engine? I'm trying to get the Key code to programme a spare key, but I can't even get it to recognise my Instrument (VDO D11) Tried a number of Ebay Cables/software, but none so far will work.....

Hi, Sounds like you have thought of everything... How about the mountings of the front subframe? (clutching at straws, there) Steering from the rear (say, by soome worn component) will often feel like a front end problem....maybe check suspenson arms, bushes etc... tramlining on mine was...

Hi, Check for the Tiptronic changing smoothly and at the right revs under a light throttle. Full throttle changes should hit the red-line without any hesitation. Manual tiptronic changing is a waste of a good automatic. Check that the suspension doesn't sag at any corer when left overnight...

Hi, "special lube stuff".....can you let us know what you used? Or maybe it's a secret! Audi don't seem to know.....

Sorry to depress you further, but I couldn't get it to work on my Allroad either.. Using "Connect any Instrument" it detected VDO D11...unfortunately VDO D11 is not listed in the Instrument List, so I'm stuck. Like you , I'm only trying to get the code to programme a spare key.....

hi, Just sounds like a worn lock to me.. Maybe the other key would be ok? Or a new one cut from the Code, rather than by copying the old one.... If not, it may not matter so long as you can actually switch off everything OK with an acquired "key-extraction" technique. There's not a lot of...

The Driver's door stopped opening yesterday....from the remote, from outside and from inside, I can't open it at all. I'm guessing it has something to do with the freezing temperatures we have here now, but the other doors are OK, so maybe not... Is there any way to get the door to open...

Hi Silverstealth and anyone else that can help.... I have the same problem of the Headlight and Supension warning lights (and the irritating "Bong" noise as well)... Do you remember the actual part that needed replacing, I'd like to fix this myself if I can. Has anyone had any luck using one...
