2001 Audi Allroad Quattro For Parts Or Repair on 2040-cars

Up for sale here is my 2001 Audi allroad that needs transmission work. This was my daily driver until the polar vortex hit Michigan a couple of weeks ago. I started the car at -18^o, and started my drive into work (right after I filled the gas tank!) when the transmission started to slip. When I had the car towed, I could see a huge puddle of transmission fluid on the ground. I did some research and found that these transmissions (ZF 5HP19FLA), have an issue where the torque converter seizes to the bushing on the front pump. When this happens it wipes out the front seal and pumps out all of the fluid. At minimum, this transmission will need a new front pump, torque converter, seal, filter, and fluid. The dealer wanted several thousand dollars to replace the transmission, but I thought someone might just want to swap it out with a used unit.

Specs:

• 166,000 miles

• 2.7 liter twin turbo engine

• Clear Michigan Green title

• Black with black leather interior/walnut trim.

Options:

The base model of this car came with everything, but this vehicle also has the following factory options.

• Premium Package. Memory for both front seat positions, electronically folding exterior mirrors, Xenon HID self-leveling headlights, and auto-dimming interior and exterior mirrors.

• Convenience Package. Heated front and rear seats, HomeLink remote transmitter, and heated multi-function steering wheel.

• Bose audio system with subwoofer.

• Rear side impact air bags.

• Power sunroof.

• 17” 5-spoke two-piece wheels.

Exterior Condition:

The overall condition of the car is very good. There are two dings in the driver’s door, but other than that, the car is very straight. The hood has typical stone chips in the paint as any car would at this mileage. There are minor scuffs on the front and back bumper covers along with the driver’s side rear fender flare. The paint is starting to bubble on both front doors down next to the aluminum trim (which means some rust under the paint).

Interior Condition:

The interior is very nice (I’m a non-smoker without kids), and is in almost new condition except for the driver’s floor mat and very slight wear on the driver’s seat. One of the rear cup holders wouldn’t open for me when I was inspecting the vehicle to sell. Also, the interior motion sensor override switch button cover is missing. The car is 100% complete as it should be. It has its retractable cargo cover, retractable dog net, spare tire, tool kit, jack kit, emergency triangle, 12V tire inflator, plastic bag for flat tire, first-aid kit, owner’s manual, both keys, etc.

Tires:

• Yokohama Advan S4’s at approximately 50% tread.

Service:

• Regular oil changes with Mobil 1(since 98,000 miles)

• New hood strut (February 2014)

• New coolant overflow bottle (January 2014)

• New OEM Bosch LCD display installed in gage cluster (November 2013)

• Replaced passenger’s side front air spring (October 2013)

• New driver’s side front axle shaft (September 2013)

• New passenger’s side front axle shaft (April 2013)

• New front brake pads (April 2013)

• Replaced fuel pump (September 2012)

• New rear brakes and rotors (July 2012)

• Replaced driver’s side front air spring (June 2012)

• New front passenger’s window regulator (May 2012)

• New spark plugs (June 2009)

• New front brake pads and rotors (June 2009)

• New air suspension compressor (June 2009)

Known issues:

• Transmission

• The check engine light is on (oxygen sensor)

• The car has an intermittent ABS sensor fault that I wasn’t able to troubleshoot before the transmission issue. The brakes work fine, but this would cause the car to shut off the ABS system at times.

• Oil leak. All these 2.7’s start to leak oil later in life.

• Stone chip in windshield.

• Rear-view mirror auto-dimming does not work

I’m asking $2500 or best offer.

Please e-mail me with any questions.

The vehicle is currently in my garage and does start and run, but will need to be towed away.
