Hi, I've had my 2l TFSi for a month or so now and the gearbox generally responds well and chooses the "right" gears. I've started visiting my work office once a week and although most of the drive is motorway / A roads the last mile or so is down a reasonably steep hill. I've noticed that the auto gearbox seems to select a very low gear for this hill (2nd or 3rd) but it doesn't seem to compensate for the speed that I'm actually doing (maybe up to 30/35 mph) and so I get this very laboured high revs and to be honest it doesn't sound healthy. I don't have hill assisit or hold on and the simplest thing to do is to switch to manual and change gear (or slow down!) but it is a bit annoying. I've previously travelled down this same hill in a 3l diesel and never had the issue - but that is a lower revving engine and it was an 8 speed auto gearbox. It's not a showstopper but just wondered if anyone can offer any input as to why this might be happening. On my VW I could reset the gearbox with ignition on and foot flat down on accelerator for 10 seconds - but I don't think that would solve this.

I pm'd him with a couple of links and suggested using translate for German sites. Looks like there are a few options out there 👍

I see the problem now - so it looks like a number plate holder. I've not seen one like that before - if the lugs are plastic then you can't bend them (like the back of a picture frame). So I guess you need to know if the holder is screwed or stuck to the bumper? I'd try using a magnet to see if there are any screws present If not, then assume it's stuck on, if so then try to bend a lug at either end and slide the plate out sideways ....

Have you got a picture of the problem?

If you Google something like "double din car stereo for Audi" - you'll find a huge range of aftermarket units supporting Android an dapple type interfaces.

It could be one (or more) wheel slightly out of balance. I've had it before where one of the lead weights has been dislodged on a wheel.

Looks like a decent spec - and you did well to get a 3l TDi, although maybe the Saloon is less in demand than the Avant. Enjoy!
