are you doing the work yourself? this really is a job for a garage that knows what their doing as i believe this it not as straight forward as new for old fluid
Hi Paul
Yes my husband was going to do it. He’s pretty good with cars but you think that this might be tricky. Any tips?

Okay we now have time to change the gearbox oil to start with. Do you know which one we need. Looked in the handbook and can’t find it. It’s a Audi A6 s Line Quattro estate. 2997cc automatic tip tropic. 2005 reg.

The garage cleared all the fault codes and told us to drive it until it does it again,then take it back to see what faults come up.
Bearing in mind we live in a very rural part of France and he is the only mechanic in the village lol.If it was a tractor I could get it fixed tomorrow.

Thanks Paul for the reply.
Think l'll change the oil in the box before going any further easiest me thinks.

Ok been today and had it plugged into a snap on fault code reader.Not a Audi one.
2 faults came up.
EGR fault not related to my problem.
and
3rd and 4th gear problem.
Is it worth considering changing the gear box oil before going any further the car has done 135k and I don't know if has been changed before.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

Thank you. Just googled that and sounds like that is the problem. Will get it checked tomorrow.

Hi Tracey get it to a local garage so they can run diagnostics test and see what fault codes come back could be a simple fix like a oil change in the gearbox or something more serious but i would not ignore the gearbox icons coming on. the longer you ignore the warnings the worse it will get and cost you to repair
let us know what the garage says if possible find an Audi independent garage
Thanks Paul we will try a local garage first before we hit the big boys.

Hi
Bought my first Audi A6 Quattro estate 1 month ago. My friend drove it over from the UK for us. We have now done 1000 miles in it and we have developed a problem with the gearbox. It is an automatic tiptronic. It keeps sticking in 3rd all the gearbox icons light up and the only way to clear it is to restart the engine. It’s a 2005 reg. Can anyone offer any advice please?

Ok nothing happens quickly in france.
My husband has a Mitsubishi Evo 9 and the gearbox has gone.The local mechanic has took it out for him,and has to be sent back to England to be rebuilt.
When we picked up the gearbox I asked him when he could look at the Audi and he said Monday then he said it might be the the MAF?
My husband thinks this is not right.(no he thinks total b****cks).
Any thoughts on this.
