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...

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...

Yes please N8. The OEM 17" allroad wheels with balloon size tyres are mushy and soft. Looking to sort the handling out before Turbo/injector upgrades.

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...

Thanks HerefordQuattro. I often forget it is just a car. Albeit a slightly more complex car with sensors, etc. My commute to work over the last few weeks has been accompanied with lots of warning lights and beeps. I've had to adapt my route and driving style to allow frequent stops to restart...

Woo hoo! Sorted! The brake light switch needed the tiniest of tweaks and that was it. No flashing glowplug warning light and a quick test drive around the block confirmed cruise control works again. So pleased it's fixed. I was already looking in to replacing the ABS controller. Thanks peeps.

Found this page AudiWorld Tech Articles which goes through setting it up. But can't find someone's post of an image from Ekta showing removal and installation. Found my old switch in my toolbox this morning and charging my torch batteries for later on this evening.

Hey Chris. Hightailed it up to Audi Walton-on-Thames after work and picked up my brakelight switch and rear wash repair kit. May attempt the brakelight switch this evening. Question. What's the secret to fitting it properly? The last one i'd attempted to change I measured how deep it sat in...

I've been told it's such a pain in the bum to replace the bushes that it's much easier to just replace the arms. Factor in £80 for a 4-wheel alignment each time you change a part in Audi's fancy multi-link suspension. Better to also do it in one go. I had spoken to someone at Awesome GTI about...

I'm getting warning lights for ESP, brakes and air suspension along with the single long beep. Adamss24 scanned my fault codes and recorded the ABS controller fault. Does anyone know where the ABS controller is and which type it is on an Audi allroad C5 2.5tdi 2002? CHEAP ABS Module Repair for...
