2005 Audi Allroad recalls

Recall 08V-157: Fuel System, Gasoline

Reported Apr 8, 2008 · 68,240 vehicles affected · VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC

Problem: Volkswagen is recalling 68,240 my 2001-2004 audi a6 quattro vehicles equipped with 2.7l, 2.8l, or 3.0l engines and my 2001-2005 allroad quattro vehicles equipped with 2.7l or 4.2l engines. The aging of the plastic material in the fuel tank rollover valve combined with bending stress from the aluminum ventilation line to the rollover valve nipple may lead to cracking of the nipple. If this happens, a fuel leak may result.

Risk: A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source could lead to a vehicle fire.

Fix: Dealers will reinforce the nipple on the rollover valve to prevent leakage or repair the cracking at the nipple. The recall began on june 27, 2008. Owners may contact audi at 1-800-822-2834.

Recall 06V-198: Electrical System

Reported Jun 5, 2006 · 70,512 vehicles affected · VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC

Problem: On certain passenger vehicles equipped with halogen low beam headlights, certain connector pins in the headlight switch connector come into contact with each other causing a short circuit. Note: vehicles with xenon low beam headlights are not affected because the circuit in these vehicles contains a fuse, which precludes excessive current flow in the case of a short circuit. Audi s6 and s6 avant vehicles are all equipped with xenon low beam headlights and, therefore, are not longer affected by this recall.

Risk: This condition could lead to overheating or fire.

Fix: Dealers will reroute the wiring harness by installing a jumper wiring harness. The recall began on december 16, 2006. Owners may contact audi at 1-800-822-2834.

Our audi was parked in our driveway as it has been for the last two years. Overnight there was a moderately heavy rain. The following morning after starting the car we attempted to shift into reverse but could not. The car was taken to the dealer who reported that water entered the computer which controls the transmission and shorted it out. Rainwater also entered the master brake cylinder though a vent hole. Parts cost will be in the $4400 range and labor $3-4000. While this is the first time this has happened to us discussions with the tow-truck operator, the car rental agency next to audi…
