While starting off it jerks and the prnds flash. I looked all over the net. And it's a gearbox problem. Audi wants 9500 canadian to fix a 17000 car. There are lots of links under dsg gearbox. I talked to Audi they say it's not a problem and there is no recall. I live in canada.
The contact owns a 2005 Audi Tt roadster. The contact stated that the transmission fluid was leaking. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the transmission had been punctured. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 30,489 and the current mileage was 30,495.
While driving down the freeway the transmission shifted to neutral and the car would not go back into drive. Fortunately the traffic was not heavy at this time and I was able to pull off the road without an accident. The neutral problem now occurs quite often and I now have the car in for repair. The transmission is a dsg automatic transmission and after reviewing information on the internet there have been a lot of problems with this transmission in all model years and Audi has only had a recall on later year vehicles with this transmission. I am not sure why the recall would not cover all earlier vehicles with this transmission as this is a serious safety issue and is also an expensive repair as the temperature sensing unit and the mechatronic unit have to be replaced and these were the items covered in the later model year recall. Please let me know why all defective transmissions are not covered.
