Hi all,
I'm looking to upgrade from my 2001 A3 turbo to something a little bigger and comfier, and drove a 2005 2.4 V6 A6 saloon last night. Beautiful car, and the right price, but when I got home I started doing a bit of research and its looking like the multitronic gearbox of that era was pretty much plagued with issues, which seem to be crazy money to rectify. When I think back I think there may have been a slight judder when moving off, which seems to be one of the early warning signs of problems. Any opinions? Need to fully check out service history to see whats been done, but seems that the issues can come back. Better off just walking away? Appreciate any input from anyone with more experience than me on this, thanks in advance.
