Audi has knowingly selling a defect gear box until septmeber 2004 when they introduced a modified version. the problem is in a too weak "clutch"!
The new gear box is also not perfect if we have to believe AutoBild year reports!!!
My A6 has stopped functioning already twice....and at Audi they refuse to compensate any cost. LAst time it happened on our holidya and we were stuck for a weak in one place until they finally "fixed" the car. They really "fixed" it because after that I could hardly get the car up-hill! According to Audi this is "charateristic" for Audi!?
According to German "ADAC" Audi has in some cases been replacing gear boxes (mainly in cars with bigger engines because there the problem would affect also the engine) if the car was less than 3 years old....after that period customer should pay 50%!?
For what, I am asking!? For their mistakes? No, Audi is responsible for all problems and should either fix this once and for good or give all their customers with similar problems their money back!
