01 2.7T Suspension problems + engine noise / servi - Aliray
Have had the Audi Allroad for a couple of months. Absolutely love the car but have experienced a few problems.

The suspension sounds very clunky at the moment and when going over any slight bumps in the road, so much so that I can feel the accelerator rattle under my foot when it does. The air suspension on the front passenger side constantly needs topping up and tends to drop down to 0 when I turn the car off + the car pulls slightly to the left when I'm driving (possibly because of this suspension problem). Then engine noise is also noticeably more noisy when I first turn the car on for the first few minutes but this could just be the turbo warming up??? I seem to be constantly topping up the engine coolant as well so I presume there is a leak somewhere.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. If anyone knows a good Audi specialist (but not an "actual" Audi garage where you're invariably ripped off), please let me know.

Thanks

From suspension arms and bushes by the sound of it. You do not describe the noise so can not comment and coolant pressure test would be in order. How can anyone direct you to an Indi if you do not tell twhere about in the country you are. Jack Walkers Turnhouse Road Edinburgh an good to you, or the vag Indi in Sully South Wales. Regards Peter
