Hey guys, something urgent came up and now my 2001 A4 quattro needs to be relocated within the next few days. This couldn't have come at a worse time, as I'm working every day and have the turbo, intercooler, transmission, driveshaft, rear differential, and all the axles off the car right now. I was wondering if there is any possible way to move the car to my new place (about 2 miles down the road) by just installing the bare minimum amount of parts to allow the car to roll this distance while still being able to use the brakes. I definitely don't have time to finish everything I had planned on doing.

 

remove the rear axels and thro it on a fwd dolly.

 

You could roll it like that for 2 miles with no damage, it's bad for the bearings but it's such a short distance it doesn't matter.

 

I'd get it up onto a flat bed truck. Thats the best option..

 

hes going 2 miles............... push it before im paying a flat bed to tow it.

 

With all the work ahead in reassemblance/dissemblance and ensuring nothing breaks or is damaged in the process for 2 miles;
I simply Tow it (flat bed) for the sake of avoiding any potential issues or additional repairs..

 

correction: helicopter is the best option. if you have all the cv's removed, just roll it nice and slow. it will be fine

 

I just talked to a friend of mine who's willing to loan me his full size chevy, now I just need to rent a wheel a dolly and my car will be on it's way to it's new home. I really appreciate everyone's input. I was able to get some answers from you guys that no one else seemed to have.

 

I really would have preferred helicopter transport, but my friend's chevy accomplished the tow just fine with a uhaul dolly. My A4 is now safely home. Thanks again for the advice everyone.
