I'm sure this is minor compared to the work required to installing the matrix lights, but how complex is the process of installing headlight washers? That was one of the features I was sad to see Audi cut from the B9 despite the little doors being there. Thanks for sharing the process of bringing the Allroad up to euro spec, should be a fun thread to follow.

Performance Upgrades
I would love to hear what you plan on doing with regards to tuning as the performance of the allroad feels a little "under-nourished" in standard form.

I'll have some stuff to share soon. For now, it's all under wraps as it is still in the research and development phase.

Hi! I didn’t see the allroad subforum until just now. I posted an introduction to my car over on the main B9 page, but I figured I’d add a couple new shots here.
My car is Gotland Green with Nougat Brown interior and the Gray Oak inlays with all optional packages. It’s a stunning combination, and these pictures look good but definitely do not do it service until you see it in person. This was the only one of its kind when I picked it up.
I do love wagons, and would love a regular Avant (S4 for sure!) but settled on this primarily for the tech. I used to work for VW’s ERL, and now a supplier, and much of what I helped build is in this thing. Pretty cool. So like my outgoing RoW-conversion 2016 Golf R, I plan on retrofitting many things to this that we don’t get here or are left out as a cost-saving measure. (This also means I have access to resources most don’t.)
So far:
- door warning lights
- Audi Beam “rings” entry lights both front and rear
- warning triangles
- proper RoW first aid kit
- S-Line/S* pedal caps
- 034 Dogbone
- resonator delete [will be nullified by exhaust]
- OEM RoW auto-dimming aspherical mirrors
- OEM RoW rear seat headrests
- OEM RoW rear cargo boot rails conversion
- much coding, including rear tailgate remote closing
- 20” HRE FF01 wheels (20x9 ET25) with Michelin PSS 255/35/20 tires, no spacers
- OEM RoW tail lights (amber dynamic turn signal, separate brake lamp)
In progress:
- Matrix Beam headlight conversion (parts on hand, and wiring/coding test confirms functionality. I just need to remove the front bumper. Ugh.)
- headlight washers (same as above)
- Parking Assistant retrofit (also have the parts on hand, and bought the Euro bumper with the extra holes/mounts. I will drill the rear bumper with the special tool. Bumper and extra sensors are currently being painted.)
- OEM S4 aluminum mirror caps
Next:
- Springs
- Intake
- Tune
- Exhaust
I absolutely love this car! And can’t wait to share the progress.
(P.S. I also have a set of Gotland Green painted reflectors I will be selling shortly. No longer need them.)
