05 ALLROAD SUSPENSION QUESTION
2005 Audi Allroad 2.7T 102,000miles
Hello Everybody,
My wifes car is Audi Allroad. Ive driven it a few times and I really liked everthing about this car. Plenty of power and handling is excellent, I dont have the wife but I have the car still. After getting familiar with the car I noticed things arent going to be that simple when working on it. (Kinda like the wife) Just kidding shes a wonderful woman. But while reading up on how to maintenance and what could go wrong I gave the suspension some attention and noticed a thing or two. I ran the 4 different suspension setting from the dash and went around the car with a tape measure. Here is what I found. The measurements are rough (give or take 1/4 in.) and i took all the measurements from the bottom of the center circle on each rim. Here are the results from lowest to highest.
settings 1-4:
1. FL16" FR18" RL17" RR18"
2. FL17" FR19" RL18" RR19"
3. FL18" FR20" RL19" RR20"
4. FL18" FR20" RL19" RR20"
Just being curious I pulled the relay 214 for air compressor and noticed some burnt discoloring on two posts. I just wanted to know if these measurements seem correct even though the arent exact. I listened for the pump to go on and off. It kinda pumped all the way up then released air then pumped and released one more time on each setting. Please include also best service manual and good idea of what regular maintenance looks like for an Audi owner, And I assume I will be buying the relay direct from some sort of Audi dealer?
Best regards Garrett
