Understood - thats why I want the settings from here so I can watch over the work bring done. Dont want to take any chances.

Hi, Does anyone have the right settings for the A^ ALlroad (02) alignment? I have already tried a new local Audi shop and so far they couldnt do it (machine calibration issues which are goign to take a few days to sort). I need to get it done ASAP (new arms fitted and alignment is off at...

My Allroad just crossed the 100K (miles) mark. I want to give it a good overhaul now - can anyone tell me what should be in the 100K service (timing belt already done).

Thanks for the reply re tracking. I have a good tyre guy now who said the same re rear alignment first etc. Interestingly the first time I got the car done about 4 years ago (bought 2nd hand) the tyre place used the A4 Avant Quattro settings which thry assured me were the same - they aren't - I...

Hi, Just replaced 4 tyres on my 02 Allroad after some very bad/uneven wear (having had it apparently tracked last year). Turns out the adjustment bolts for the rear camber are seized as are some of the front alignment adjustments. Hence the guy last year probably didn;t align it properly in...

Mind if i ask where you found these? Need some too.

Hi, I have a problem with the trip computer on my 2002 allroad. If I turn on the ignition I can see the current/trip MPG/Distance/Remainig Fuel menus toggling through with the up/down buttons on the steering column stalk. However, if I hit the reset button on the stalk the centre consol...

Hi, Had a go at this last weekend. I have managed to remove the door sill trim and lift the carpet somewhat but taking the passenger seat out of the allroad is not easy. If someone had the time to explain or post a camera photo of what bolts i need to loosen I'd really appreciate it. I...

That's my Saturday morning sorted - thanks all! Anything to watch for in lifting seat and sills?

Hi, I've just experienced the infamous flooded footwell passenger problem from a blocked drain in thw battery compartment (Allroad). I have cleared the blockage under the bonnet and have dried whatever surface water I could from the passenger floor carpet. The underside of this and all...

Hi Very interesting - where are Celtic located in Ireland? I had read that anything over 220 would over stress the oil pump - how did you get around this? C.

Hi, Have a 2002 allroad. I have read a lot of varying posts re tunining/chipping/re-mapping options. I would like to get a bit more power and low-down torque out of the engine without putting it under too much strain i.e. I dont want to overtune and have something fail. I was wondering...

Found the car since. Parked up and locked. Am getting new locks and keys. I'd still be interested in hearing the theory as to how the car can be taken/driven with/without coded keys ...

Hi, My 2002 AR was stolen from in front of my house recently. I'd appreciate your opinion on the facts: - We have two key fobs which were not taken during the robbery - No alarm went off - I bought the car from a garage 7 months ago - I found the car 10 days later parked up on a...

Thanks for all the help. Had a look again today. Air susp is fine (level 4 worked and no audible compressor noise) and have put down a deposit. Dealer (non main) has said he will do full 70K service (and fix some dings) before we close. I specifically asked about the belts etc - full major...
