2001 Audi Allroad Quattro For Parts Or Repair on 2040-cars
Ypsilanti, Michigan, United States
|
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 -18o, 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:
Options: The base model of this car came with everything, but this vehicle also has the following factory options.
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:
Service:
Known issues:
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.

Lexus gets top brand marks from Consumer Reports; Ford, Jeep hit hard
Tue, 25 Feb 2014Consumer Reports has released its 2014 Car Brand Report Cards, with Lexus again reigning at the top and doing so with the same industry-topping score of 79 that it registered in last year's Report Cards. This year, the institute credited its lineup for being "usually quiet, comfortable, and fuel-efficient," noting it's the only brand on the list "to achieve an excellent average overall reliability score." The Car Brand Report Cars list is meant to rank the best all-around vehicles based on CR testing and reliability results tallied by subscribers it surveyed. Each brand included must have sufficient test and reliability data for at least three models, a standard which left out 11 marques including Fiat, Jaguar, Land Rover and Porsche.
This 2014 Brand Report Cars edition is the first of a new format in which sub-brands have been broken out from their parent brands, with Acura using this year to move up the leaderboard into second place with a score of 75 for its "reliable, well-finished and somewhat sporty models." The top three was rounded out by Audi, climbing from eighth to third by scoring a 74 for "well-crafted interiors, nice handling and good gas mileage." Audi scored highest in the road-test portion, its improved reliability aiding its rise. The top nine was completed by Subaru, Toyota, Mazda, Honda, Infiniti and Mercedes-Benz.
Ford and Jeep weighed in at the other end of the rankings, Jeep taking the lowest overall score in the road tests and hampered by "a mix of spotty reliability." Ford was sunk by reliability issues with its MyFord Touch infotainment system which consumers found troublesome enough to negate its cars earning "solid test scores" for being "very nice to drive." Perhaps the rumored switch from Microsoft to Blackberry's QNX for the next generation SYNC will help them out. Cadillac's score also took a hit for infotainment reasons after it was the leading US brand last year, the CUE system in the XTS dragging Cadillac to the bottom of all General Motors brands.
Ken Block and friends race light in silly-beautiful Castrol commercial
Wed, 28 May 2014How does one make fast, loud, drifting cars better? Well, you can add more fast, loud, drifting cars or you can add lasers. Either or, really. In this case, Castrol did the right thing and added both, creating a highly stylized commercial for its Edge Titanium motor oil starring South African racer Adrian Zaugg, BMW factory driver Augusto Farfus, Audi DTM and Le Mans staple Mike Rockenfeller and some bloke named Ken Block.
Their cars? No surprise, but Block is in his Ford Fiesta GRC, while Zaugg samples a Lamborghini Aventador and Farfus and Rockenfeller drive along party lines, with a BMW M4 and an Audi R8, respectively. And those cars look good, too, thanks to the creative light and laser work on display.
Take a look below for the video from Castrol.
Audi reveals updated RS7 Sportback in Europe
Mon, 02 Jun 2014It was just a couple of weeks ago that Audi revealed a few mild updates to its A7. It even ported those changes over to the warmed-up S7 performance version. All that was missing was the full-steam RS7, and that's precisely what we have here.
Now before you get all excited, note that the new RS7 packs the same powertrain as the model it succeeds, but then again, the existing RS7 hardly lacked in the power department. The 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 still churns out 560 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque, transmitted to all four wheels through an eight-speed automatic. Revealed initially for the European market (with US details presumably to follow), the 0-62 kilometers per hour time is quoted at 3.9 seconds, so the 0-60 mph time ought to match the 3.7 seconds of the preceding model.
What has changed are the subtle tweaks Audi has made to the exterior and equipment upgrades inside. The grille now features has a horizontal section at the bottom with the Quattro logo emblazoned across like all other recently revised RS models, flanked by new headlights (Matrix LED units for the European market). Inside the cabin the air-con vents and shift paddles have been reshaped, and the new MMI system ports over from the new A7 and S7 with 4G LTE connectivity and a Bang & Olufsen sound system.
