There seems to be a lot of articles online about the issues with the CVT gearbox. All the stuff I can find is mainly in the states and all dated from about 10 years ago.
My 2004 1.8t Avant CVT is starting to worry me. When I pull up after driving the car I can smell burning. Usually when I reverse into a parking space or something. And when I’m travelling at roughly 60 miles an hour I get vibration through the steering wheel. It still drives smoothly around town and the gear changes are very smooth. Occasionally when I slow to a stop the revs will dip lower as if it’s going to stall but then it rises again.
Should I take it to my local Audi garage and get them to look at it? Does it just need a fluid change?
Thanks for any advice you can give.
