One bag with labor should run you around 1k. max. But you can take all the airbags out and convert to coilovers and there are a few companies that make just for the allroad. i am doing mine in few weeks

Got my car tuesday, '01, 85k miles, Seller repainted fenders and bumpers for me cuz i didnt like the way they were faded, 2.7L, Auto

I am in love, such a sick car compared to my jeep. Now im just waiting to get some Thule 450 Crossroad clamps so i can throw my racks on top, get my box up there and a surf board or 2, then itll look perfect

Looks good with the fenders painted. I've read that driving the car in the lowest (#1) suspension setting, although looks cool, puts more pressure on the bags, and will lead to leaks earlier. I've even heard of people driving in the #3 position to gain more life out of them.
Also, if all Allroad owners will call the Audi Advocate to complain about the suspension problems, I've heard that they may eventually place a recall on them or even refund expenses in replacing them.... worth a try.

Good to know about calling in and complaining and what not, could work out to our advantage, haha.

yea, its looks sick in level 1, but im all for keeping it in level 2 for the longevity of the bags

Audi America has an advocate to discuss any issues or concerns about your Audi experience. If everyone who owns an allroad would call and complain about the air suspension problems maybe we can stir up the hornets nest a bit. Customer CARE Advocate call 1-800-822-2834 (AUDI), Mon-Fri, 8 am to 8 pm, Eastern Time.
