Hi , I hope there is there someone on her that has the skills and experience to help please.
We have a 1.8 S line auto on 62 plate.
The car stopped and was recovered, eventually to a specialist auto transmission workshop.
I will try to bullet point a six month journey that has left the vehicle running like a dream (engine wise) but sat in our garage with "gearbox Malfunction" warning.
The car was diagnosed with mechatronic fault and so it was replaced with new one from VAG.
It wouldn't finish the learning process and stopped when the engine was started. It should a turbo fault and the technicians said this could stop the process and so the turbo was replaced.
It still didn't learn and so the clutch was replaced, gearbox inspected, new seals etc. It has been confirmed by serial numbers that it is the original box.
An audi specialist was then enlisted, and after a very long process, Audi Germany were contacted and after another new clutch being fitted they said it must be the gearbox.
The Transmission guys refute this as they have inspected it ( complete strip down and rebuild) and Audi would not give assurance that a new box from them would fix it...
So here we are...the car works, drives (albeit with a slip when pulling away) and the body is spotless, has new clutch, mechatronic and turbo!
I am reluctant to spend another 6k on a box if it won't fix it! It is simply too good to scrap but I really don't know what else to do.
I would be so appreaciative if somebody could offer us any advice please.
