I am selling my beloved Audi Allroad. I love this car. I live in Mammoth Lakes, CA. This has been my "snow car" for 6 years now. I purchased it in 2007. After doing much research, I watched a video from Germany, where all the manufacturers raced their vehicles up a steep ski run. The Allroad was the only vehicle to make it to the top. I was sold on it. It hasn't disappointed.
I got a great deal on a Subaru Outback last July, and haven't been driving the Allroad much lately. I also have a truck. We simply don't need 3 vehicles, and I'm sick of paying the insurance and registration, so the Audi must go. Condition: Trying to be objective, I think this car is in pretty good shape for a 10-year old car with 90k miles on it. I've always changed the oil every 3k miles and done the routine maintenance. I stick the maintenance records in the glove box. Might need a new air filter soon. I might have a spare one lying around. If I do, I'll throw it in. I also have two sets of floor mats (all-weather and regular). I'll include both. Again, it has been in a snow town, so there are scratches and normal wear and tear all over. The pics show a dirty car, as it just snowed. A couple years ago, a snow removal vehicle hit my rear driver side door. It was replaced under insurance and has worked perfectly ever since. My wife was rear-ended at a red light by a drunk driver. We didn't fix it, as it didn't effect the integrity of the car. The car is a tank (you should see the damage to the drunk driver's car). Anyway, the damage is clear in the photos. Other than that, the leather is in good shape. The wood trim is in good shape. Some peeling has occured on the radio portion of the dashboard, and the veneer on the dash-mounted cup holder came off. There is a very minor oil leak, that we've had since we purchased the car. The Audi dealer says it's very normal in turbo-charged cars, at the seals. I've never had to add oil or anything. Never been an issue. Just wanted to mention it, because oil is noticeable on the skid plate when it's removed to change the oil. There is some grime/film over the headlights, but the auto-levelling xenon lights still work great. CD changer works great, Bose stereo is awesome. Heated seats are magical. Car has a lot of power. Twin Turbo kicks ass. The snow tires on the car right now still have a decent amount of tread left. The brakes are great, tons of stopping power. I have two keys for the car. The remote lock/unlock feature isn't working on the keys. The batteries died and need to be replaced. They might need to be re-programmed (there's some specific instructions on how to do it on the web or at the dealer) - I just put the key in the door to lock/unlock old school style. Only problems we've ever had have been electrical. Our local german mechanic has plugged in the diagnostics and re-set, and voila, back to good. The winshield wiper fluid reservoir has a leak - so the "low wiper fluid" light is constantly on because we don't even deal with it. We've also had the Tire Pressure Sensor be touchy at times. Sometimes that light goes on, even with tire pressure is perfect (we've never had the tires lose air at all). There are two cracks in the windshield (as is common in snow towns from the expanding/contracting from temp changes). You might wanna put a new windshield on, but we've just let it linger for a couple years. Also, the gas shocks in the trunk are shot. They cost about $65 to replace. I'm lazy to do it, because I rarely drive this car anymore, but you'll want to replace those. Otherwise, you've got to hold the trunk up by hand, and it's heavier than you think! You can check out a zillion websites for features, etc. All I've gotta say is, for the price I'm asking, this car is an absolute steal. History: I purchased it for $22,000 in 2007 with 36.5k miles on it. I bought it from a doctor in Boise, ID. He needed a mini-van for kids, and the car was in immaculate shape. I flew out to Idaho to buy it. I wanted the navy blue color and it's pretty rare. I Had it inspected by the local audi dealer, and they told me it was the cleanest Allroad they'd seen. Please, please, please, email me with any questions, or request more photos - I want to be completely forthcoming, and am not trying to hide anything. Free pickup in Mammoth Lakes, CA - or I will drive it down to Los Angeles area for $300. I'm also open to other delivery options, let me know if you're interested and let's see what we can work out. Thanks!! |

Audi R8, Lamborghini Huracan could get twin-charged five-cylinder
Fri, May 22 2015Engine downsizing and forced induction are some of the biggest trends in automotive powertrains today because. They offer the chance to reduce emissions and boost fuel economy, while possibly maintaining power. The shift is already happening to performance cars with turbocharged four-cylinders finding their way into the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro, and future Porsches. Now, there are rumblings of a tiny chance for a similar change coming for the Lamborghini Huracan and Audi R8. Why the new powertrain? China. While the market there might have slowing growth, it's still a major country for auto sales. The annual taxes on cars there also happen to be based on engine displacement, and there's a 40 percent rate on those over 4.0-liters, according to Car and Driver. The obvious answer to this conundrum is to build a smaller displacement, forced induction engine for the R8 and Huracan. Car and Driver points to the new turbocharged and electrically supercharged, 2.5-liter inline five-cylinder from the recent Audi TT Clubsport Turbo concept as a possible solution. Audi's e-turbo technology runs off a 48-volt electrical system and lithium-ion battery to produce a total of 600 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque in the prototype. With this mill, horsepower would barely shrink compared to the R8 V10 Plus and Lambo, but it actually makes more peak torque than their 5.2-liter V10s. While this is all theoretically feasible, take the possibility with a big grain of salt for now. According to Car and Driver, Quattro GmbH's Stephan Reil says that there's no work currently underway to fit the twin-charged five-cylinder, "but it has been talked about." That means such a vehicle is likely years away, if ever. In the meantime, a diesel version of the e-turbo setup is on the way the in the SQ7. Related Video:
2015 Audi A3 Cabriolet
Fri, Nov 21 2014When my 758-mile journey on the A3 TDI Challenge came to an end in Boulevard, CA, Audi had a very nice consolation prize waiting for me: the 2015 A3 Cabriolet you see here. And with miles left to drive before reaching my hotel in Coronado (just outside of San Diego), what better way to celebrate my personal victory of achieving nearly 60 miles per gallon in the TDI than to run the rest of the route in couple of turbocharged A3 droptops? After all, the efficiency part of my drive was done, so it was time to have some fun. The A3 Cabriolet comes to market just as the sun sets on another four-seat convertible from the Volkswagen Group stable: the Eos. That car, often criticized as being too expensive, is technically replaced by the Beetle Convertible as far as VW-badged products go. But for those who still prefer something a bit more upmarket, the A3 Cabriolet will fill the void nicely, and with more style and grace than the Eos ever had. Driving Notes The A3 Cabriolet arrives with a choice of engines. On the base end lives a 1.8-liter turbo-four with 170 horsepower, 200 pound-feet of torque and front-wheel drive, or you can pony up for the 2.0T with 220 hp, 258 lb-ft and standard Quattro all-wheel drive. Regardless of engine, the only transmission available in the A3 Cab is Audi's six-speed S-tronic dual-clutch unit. This is a fine cog-swapper, with quick shifts regardless of chosen powertrain, and steering wheel-mounted paddles that offer plenty of fun from behind the wheel. That said, I found it best to just leave the transmission alone, no matter the engine. The paddles are entertaining, sure, but slick the gear selector into Sport and the A3 will instinctively hold gears through turns and always have you right in the heart of the powerband. The 1.8T's 170 hp and 200 lb-ft are more than adequate for duty in the 3,373-pound A3 Cabriolet. I was never bothered by a lack of power, especially with the engine on boil with the transmission in its sport setting. Hitting 60 miles per hour takes 7.4 seconds, en route to an electronically limited top end of 130 miles per hour. If speed is your thing, though, the 2.0T certainly delivers quite a punch. That same 0-60 sprint takes just 5.9 seconds with the more potent powerplant, and you can really feel the stronger rush of power right off the line, even with the quicker A3's 210-pound weight penalty.
Recharge Wrap-up: Smart metals, OTA updates, Rolls-Royce LNG ship
Wed, Mar 16 2016"Smart" metals could help engines reduce emissions and invigorate US business. Metallurgist and University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee professor Pradeep Rohatgi combines known metal alloys with materials like ceramics, nanoparticles, and recycled waste to produce strong, lightweight composites with self-lubricating properties that help internal combustion engines run more efficiently. Rohatgi hopes his startup, Intelligent Composites, and its products can help US foundries compete with production outsourced overseas. See the video above, and read more at Phys.org. Almost 203 million cars will be capable of over-the-air (OTA) updates by 2022, according to ABI research. While Tesla has the OTA firmware updates nailed down, other automakers will focus on software update capability. This will take the place of dealer-installed updates and - like Chrysler did after the Jeep hacking incident - updates sent to owners via USB drives. OTA updates will enhance vehicle security and reduce recall rates. Read more at Green Car Congress. European bus manufacturers have agreed upon a standardized charging interface for their electric buses. Irizar, Solaris, VDL and Volvo will use pantograph charging for "opportunity charging" and CCS plugs as the base for overnight charging and network communication. The manufacturers hope other bus makers and charging providers to join them in cooperation over standardized charging. Read more at Green Car Congress. The second Audi Autonomous Driving Cup will take place from March 22 to 24, 2016 at the automaker's Museum Mobile in Ingolstadt, Germany. The competition involves eight university teams implementing basic Audi software in 1:8 scale electric Audi Q5 models, and putting them through the paces of simulated real-world driving situations. The teams develop software architecture to use the suite of sensor to have the cars drive, park, maneuver in traffic and perform emergency braking autonomously. Teams also perform a freestyle event where they put the car through an additional task of their choosing. The winning team gets ˆ10,000, with smaller prizes for second and third place. The competition also gives the students the opportunity to showcase their skills in front of a potential employer. Read more at Green Car Congress. Rolls-Royce will provide the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) propulsion for an NSK cargo ship carrying fish food. The ship will deliver 2,700 metric tons of fish food to fish farms along the Norwegian coast.
