3.0 tdi gearbox problems???

[willie]

Hello,

Whilst on the hunt for a 3.0 tdi 272 I have come across a reasonable amount of comments about the lag, particularly from standstill, from this engine and the gearbox combination. Can anyone kindly clarify if there is a known fix/software update for this or is this issue an ongoing problem? Many thanks M.

The 272 doesn’t have the gearbox problem as it uses the ZF gearbox and not the S Tronic, if you’re anywhere near Bristol, I could be tempted to sell my 272 A4, it’s not get used much anymore

Thanks for the offer, looking for something well specced, however heated seats are a must!

Haha, that’s like one of the 2 options mine doesn’t have

Yep, I did see that. Otherwise I might have thunk about your offer a tad more.
