ESP not working properly. 2002 Audi Allroad Quattro.

I would say get some soap and water in a spray bottle and spray each fitting and air line that you can get to including your new air bags and watch for growing piles of bubbles or hissing- this should lead you to a potential air leak. I would check for leaks first.

yes it is damaged
find a shop and get it inspected
there are bad parts, sure but even damaged (like cracks)
want a wheel to fly off at 100kmh or worse.
what country is the car, ?
bent shocks or struts


Audi allroad quattro? semi-offroad version of the Audi A6 Avant (station wagon)
this car has ball joints+ coil + A-arm suspension and 1 strut
per side
so my guess is the STUTS were both destroyed.
no really safe to drive at all like that.
IMO

Heidi, No electric release. The latch is probably stuck. While you pull the interior hood release have an assistant push down and pull up repeatably/vigorously until hood releases from stuck position. Lube latch and cable before closing hood. Check the attached links,instruction and guides, Good luck

Sounds like the valve body for suspension system or a front air hose leak.

air bag or line has a leak they usually corrode and leak around fittings at bag

i had the same problem with mine there is a bleed down solenoid on the side of the air pump this can stick and let the air the pump is pumping straight to the outlet i cleaned it and chacked the spring and it now works fine

I had the same problem, I went to my mechanic and they said that the system has shut itself off due to a problem the computer has seen, in my case it was a selinoid in the pump which released air had failed and had to be replaced, unfortonatly you can not buy the selinoid seperately and would have to replace the entire pump, I was lucky though because he has a spare pump that he pulled off another car which was blown but the selinoid was still good. It took them about 4 hours to find the problem but that was my experiance. DO NOT TAKE IT TO THE DEALER they will charge you for 4 new air bags and a new pump they quoted me almost 5000 Dollers and i got mine fixed for $500

I seem to be having the same issue on my 2001 allroad. I read the post before and just tried some WD-40. I will let you know how it works.

The light can come on for a number of reasons. One of which is that the pump is getting worn out. It will run too long trying to maintain the height/pressure setting and overheat which lights up the light. I believe that the light will be lit if it is unable to raise the car to the desired manual height setting for the suspension. These all lead back to the common issues... air bags with small leaks and then a worn out suspension pump.

I had the brake light switch replaced by a local dealer. Cost was $140 and it fixed the problem. Have driven the car for two weeks since and no lights and all systems normal.
