Hi Folks,

First time Audi owner after owning SEATs for the last 12 years or so. Last chariot was a 2008 MK2 Leon Cupra. Loved the Cupra but age was getting the better of it and it was time for it to go.

Recently purchased a 65 plate A4 B8.5 TDI Black Edition.

After slightly naively jumping into the world of automatics then joining the forum/using google I am now living in fear of the Multitronic gearbox! So far so good though and an absolute joy to drive. Gearbox oil will be getting replaced shortly as a precaution.

Couple of pics:

:sign welcome: Chris,

I previously had the same gearbox in my 2012 A5, sold it with 74,000 miles and had no issues with the gearbox, get the oil changed for peace of mind, in the meantime, drive and enjoy. :racer:

Slightly reassuring. Seems most issues are with earlier multritronic based on what I've read.

The car has developed an irritating and worsening creaking noise which seems suspension related. Struggling to pin it down but will get that checked out when it's in for the gearbox oil change. Seemed to start after I had the wheels rebalanced but could be coincidental.
 
Welcome aboard :thumbs up:

Nice looking car!
