Multitronic gearbox losing gears

[S3SYD]

hi every one

my mate has brought a 2004 audi a4 1.9 tdi with a 6speed multitronic

gearbox

and he seems to be losing gears totaly while driving

checked the car with vag com and no faults cumming up

been doing some research on it either its a ecu problem or complete

gearbox screwed up

anyone shed some light on this head **** car please.

thanks

has that had the clutch swapped over from 6-plate to 7-plate system?

it's a known issue with the Multitronics that they can't handle the torque of the TDI's (they'll even struggle with an un-mapped 1.9TDI) and they had to recall all the 2.5TDI's!

im not 100% sure but from what i can recall is that causes vibrations as such if you

have clucth problems as such!!!

it will drive faultless and then loss the gears.

and at times i noticed the light on the gear selector for your foot brake does not

work and then it does work
