sorry for the late reply, yes the problem was a worn valve body. I had mine replaced along with the transmission fluid. that came to £1239 all in

yes, dont take it to Audi, there rip off merchants. take it to a local automatic gearbox specialist, they'll fix the problem. audi have produced this gearbox in a terrible state, theyre not bothered though theyre more interested in promoting their R8. Anyway it cost me £ 1400 to fix. let us know...

did you manage to get your car fixed? i have the exact same problem with my car at the moment and mine is the same car as this

i think that guy at vagbolton was more interested about taking my money rather than getting my car sorted. ive got my mate to do the oil and filter change. il let you know how i get on with it
