allroad Problem Areas and Fixes Area Under Construction

Here are some of the problem areas of the allroad and some possible fixes. Not every allroad will experience these issues but you should be aware that they exist. Often I hear a story about an owner taking the car to the dealer with an issue, the dealer say's "We've never heard this before" only to have to tell them that "yeah we know all about it and here is the fix".

These are areas that get asked about all of the time and fall outside of "normal" maintenance - in no particular order.

>Failure: Turbo Chargers

>Failure: Radiator Fan

>Failure: Coil Packs

>Failure: Secondary Air Injection Pump (SAI)

>Failure: Brake Light Switch (the one at the pedal)

>Failure: TipTronic Transmission Torque Converter

>Failure: Air Springs

>Failure: Throttle Body Boot

>Failure: Interior Soft Touch Surface Peeling

>Failure: Instrument Cluster DIS (center display) / Pixel Fade

>Failure: Cam Tensioner Seals / Valve Cover Gaskets

>Failure: Steering Angle Sensor (ABS kicks in prematurely)

>Failure: Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

These are areas that should be considered issues but certainly aren't failures, more like poor design choices.

>Upgrade: Bypass Valves

>Upgrade: Front Brakes

>Upgrade: Sway Bars

>Upgrade: OEM Tires

>Windshield Wipers (2002+)
