I’ve got a really nice one I’m thinking of selling. Just replaced the entire air suspension. Temperature controlled garage kept its entire life. Interior like new. 154k miles. Not a single leak on the car, everything been gone through. Bought it from the original owner a couple months ago as a fun little project to see if I could replace it myself. Pm me if want any more info.

uhhhh that... but also other reasons lol. This car had a bad egr valve when we filmed this video which was tripping the code.

Nice, they are great camping rigs! Good luck with the electrical problems, those are never fun to chase down regardless of the car...

They make for a fun daily!

The 2.7 twin turbo is the engine these come with from the factory but manual swap is definitely the way to go

yus

Thanks for the response! We have another allroad that did have the air suspension properly repaired and it is totally worth the money if you have it. Its not cheap but when it works it is fantastic.

@@TheDeadCylinders that's what I hear

well said! we agree :)

Hey Truckn! Thank you so much for stopping by and sharing your story with us! glad to hear you Love your Allroad! We do too ;) The timing belt that I broke was on a different car that I owned (not the Allroad shown in this video) and yes it did ruin the engine which is the only reason I no longer own that car. I will admit that was mostly a result of neglecting to change the belt even though I knew I should have been done... The common problems we pointed out in this video (in order): - Triptronic automatic transmissions can have issues if not properly taken care of. Sounds like you have with yours so good job! - Oil leaks, these 2.7t engines have a lot of gaskets and they wear out over time... nothing that money cant fix! - The stock K03 turbochargers do not last long IF you try to turn up to boost (upgrading to the K04's might be a good option if you want to tune your car for more power) I believe this is what you were referring to in your question... If you keep it stock, change the oil regularly and always keep an eye on the engine temps you should be just fine for a long time. - The PVC and Coolant lines are prone to degrading over time and you will get both air leaks and coolant leaks respectively (These are an easy fix but worth checking on these older cars) - As you already know the Air Suspension is not reliable! (unfortuante because when it is working it is a fantastic system but short of replacing ever single component in the system there is no real way to save these from the inevitable.) The coilover swap is the easiest route which will solve all of the issues related to this system. Hope that answers your questions, if you have any more we would love to discuss further :) Cheers, Cameron

@@TheDeadCylinders My Coil over suspension system is starting to leak oil or whatever is in the shocks,and you mentioned parts are easily accessible. I can't find Bilstein replacements for my year make and model here in Canada. I only need the two fronts. Any ideas or leads you can send my way? Thanks and be well.

@@truckn So sorry to hear that! I am not sure what companies will ship to Canada... we are US based. It looks like there is a set of Westar coilovers on RockAuto. www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=5618478&cc=1411388&pt=13000&jsn=868&_nck=Ekt6BqBF1pwlXdx0gYlm1esw98pF26vehMm%2FGG3C%2Fl2QOXSJubi7WSpUmUSdg3OxWOs2f5z9h422EONy36O0PjCuaadDqI1r86y%2FvJ1lBqxeBNhI9mMX8H1x0fHFzmF%2BF%2BfJVJLRM%2FPOzb2h9mGwtOklgC7qGdsUwYYJkbMC5HSTqqj9r6dqkkEPp62vDQ%2Bj2YXQZ2rhmyqI4yy2JFS7HuYBLaou%2B05wqznGeLs%2FE0NXJfA0MKYXHMjyaNZq9B6D9P1Na%2BdISnT4fwBjJylvpohsJwdJ1Nd1f4PCT2XCtUg39AI4v74QkMXWOmWXUpVrSplW5TLH8pQ1t8xyyjq4qCAhEh1kDFl56KJMZ9u43B7rAe7no5bK73jZUBW7swB8

It is a surprisingly quiet engine lol! that's awesome

Definitely cant argue with you on that. They are super fun cars but they do tend to be more of the project than a reliable daily... and not very fun to work on... That being said its a great car if you want to learn how to fix things yourself lol

@TheDeadCylinders I'm a huge fan of audi, obviously...lol. They make a beautiful line of quality automobiles. They're engineered awesome except for a few exceptions. If you take care of them and don't beat on them more than they're designed to. They can absolutely be a reliable daily. They can be fun to work on if you learn about them and get the right tools. When I'm interested in a car or anything for that matter I will spend a lot of time researching it. I tell everyone when we're talking about cars and working on audi's that even if you are a decent mechanic. If you have never worked on an audi they can make you feel like you don't know shit about cars at first...lmfao.

@@Mattmazz77 haha absolutely. Ours is a pretty good example of one that wasnt taken care of but still made for a decent daily. Took a little bit of work to get it roadworth again but since then weve put nearly 100k miles on it with countless roadtrips around the country and a daily commute to work and back. Relatively litttle issues along the way. I would call them a dependable car brand... they will get you where you need to go

Absolutely dude! So happy it helped you!

Your gma has great taste!

Hahaha thanks man! It sounds surprisingly good

Especially not for the price you can pick up an allroad lol

How’s it doing now ?

2 ic's come standard on the A6 2.7t. '04 S-Line has 265 HP, 15 HP more than standard model, and only with tiptronic nightmare trans.

Oh, you know what we forgot our safety glasses... that could've been bad if we got some fumes in the eye!

Hello from across the world :) Thanks for the comment!

That would be super cool, although I've heard the diesel is even less reliable than the petrol engine...

@@TheDeadCylinders yes, they don't really have a good reputation but they're old engines and their issues are known. I wouldn't buy one if I had to depend on a shop to work on it though.

No, we didn't end up buying new ones...we just welded in solid pipe. We tried looking at local part stores but no one quite had the right sizing we needed. I believe they are 2" diameter by 4" long. Let me know what you figure out :)

@@TheDeadCylinders Thanks brother! I'm in a weird spot where I have a 2.5in Miltek exhaust (including cats) ready to go in BUT the cats side is using a V-clamp. So on the downpipes side, I am trying to figure out how to mate the two sides (downpipe + new flex pipe + weld 2in to 2.5in V-clamp adapter + then new exhaust).

@@njcentral Ohhhh gotcha. yeah that is a weird situation but that will be sweet once you've got it all assembled! I know in our experience there is not alot of room up at the top of the down pipes (thanks audi...) So for us doing the welds down at the origional flexpipe location made the most sense because it was way easier to access.

Thanks Homie :) we aren't planning on stopping any time soon

That's great man! sounds like a really solid setup! Did you notice any difference with the x-pipe versus without? (sound, performance, etc...)

@@TheDeadCylinders Yes performance increased, sound lets just say bridges & tunnels are so much more fun now.. It cn be loud but only when stepped on which is wht I wanted. I chose no resonator because I feel the resonator is exactly why there is a drone.. But with. tiptronic the TCU / ECU settings pull it into 5th @ 2-2500 rpm so there's no wy to get out of this mode unless I'm always shifted into manual sport mode.

Yeah man! DORMAN CS650039 LUK LSC537 Heres two options that should work!

Welcome aboard!

I figured it would but it was much cheaper than the back to black :)

yeah but only while you wait for the new ones to come in 😂since they crack in like a week or two if left in the sun

Can confirm it does work... This video was shot over three weeks ago and still looks fresh :)

Right i was mind blown! Was expecting it to blow our ear drums out but no sir! She is nice and tame thanks to those turbos. Thanks so much for the feedback (:

Its alot louder with just downpipes. Downpipes with and x-pipe and cherry bombs sounds good.

That's because no cat delete .. mine is and have a Y shape difusor with the rear muffler .. sounds amazing

Welcome (:

Thank you so much man! I really appreciate it!

Yay! welcome aboard! Thanks for the support!

My favorite part of the car

They do look mean

Second

Id like to think of myself as a man with a broad perspective on life

There's the right way and then there is the "Do it all under $500 way" heheh

Thanks!

Haha thank you so much! We will stick with it!

I’m actually crying. You may not wear a cape but you are my hero 🙏🏻

I totally could have! But the engine really wasnt in great shape and it had unknown mileage and I dont really care for automatic transmissions soooo it made more sense to trade it :)

Oh no! That is super unfortunate! I can't really think of any reason that an engine wouldnt start up after transmission work has been done unless something got bumped or damaged in the process? if it wants to crank just wont fire I would probably go through the typical process of checking for spark, fuel, and compression worst case... Just to see if that helps you narrow down the problem.

@@TheDeadCylinders we checked and made sure that all of the spark plugs are gapped to the specs. we check the spark plug wires. fuel pump, all the fuel stuff, battery connections alternator harnesses that connect to the transmission, we made sure all the fuses are there and working, we checked the relays under the steering wheel. everything should be fine because before we bought it the guy turned it on for us and let it run for a while. it just need a transmission

@@TheDeadCylinders i have a video of it trying to start but idk what’s what it wants 😭 maybe you could take a quick look at it and tell me what u think it sounds like?

@@KingLilCris187 I could do that.

@@TheDeadCylinders i pm u on ig
