Hello guys, i have been saving up for a while to buy a nice car an ive decided it would definitely be a S4. Now im at the stage where i can actually go an start viewing some with the intention of buying, plans are to get one an have it mapped to stage 1 by MRC, definitely a decent exhaust an few other little mods.
Problem is that i really want a S Tronic, but just a quick search online an loads of horror stories pop up about gearbox failures due to a faulty mechatronics system? i know that generally people only post threads to have a moan so a problem with only a small percentage of cars can appear like a major problem. An i can only afford an early b8 so most likely will be a 09 plate.
I just wanted to know if this really was a common issue with the S Tronic box or i shouldn't really worry about it too much? i dont really want to to buy a manual lol, Thanks
