    Gear stick knock on releasing from park A5 2.0 Tdi CVT

    Hi, Yesterday when I pressed the brake to come out out park into drive on my 2012 CVT auto box A5, there now is a clunk which you can hear and feel through the gear stick. It only happens when you're stationary and you're coming from a P, N or R selection into D and back. Once you drive off...

    Thanks for the replies both. Ill have a look at both points over the weekend and then to a garage if I can't see any easy faults. After further driving it seems to just happen when the car is under load and accelerating from a slow speed that this creek / ache noise is apparent. There is no...

    Service question - gearbox oil change

    Hi, Recently had a long life service in pollen filter at a main dealer. My A5 2.0 TDI Auto is now approaching 3k and the service team told me at 38k, my Auto box oil change was due at around £175. Is that correct? If I went independent would it be worth it? Cheers

    Hi, I've lost a 17 inch spider type center cap over the weekend, either pinched or flew off. Are there any value for money replacements or good spares companies online where I can replace it without buying a set of 4 or paying over the odds for 1? Cheers
