Gearbox Problem - 2008 2.0 TDI Sline Automatic

[Lut]

Hi all

I recently bought a 2008 Audi A6 2.0 TDI Sline Automatic transmission (7 gear). 

This is my first Audi and my dream car actually, but it has a problem.

When I park the car and put the gear into the P mode, the gear is stuck in the park mode. When I want to drive it again, I need to reset it from a hole, just under the ashtray. In someone else's words, 
'If your car is stuck in park and won't shift out, ... look under the ashtray and you'll see a hole, into which you can stick something to disengage the lock (white button) that prevents the car from going into drive when it's in park.'

By the way, It is stuck 5 in 10 times. The problem does not exist all the time.

I do not know any mechanics around here and I am not good at understanding car problems. I will go to a local garage this Wednesday, but I do not know them.

May I ask if anyone had a similar problem before? I will be very happy if you give me an idea about how much it will probably cost.

Looking forward to hearing from you very soon.

Many thanks,
Lut

have you had the gearbox oil changed? i have heard this is an important oil change as a new gear box is ridiculous money. the oil is not cheap, about £120 per litre and requires about 5-6 litres. i have a receipt from when i bought my car and it was £750+ vat.

Thanks for your reply. I have no idea about the gearbox oil change. Previous owner gave me many receipts, but none of them includes gearbox oil I am afraid. I will ask the mechanic about it.
