Hi all Im a long term Audi owner, recently purchased an Audi Q5 2.0 tdi auto, 2010 Its done 120,000 and I dont have much of the past history. So the issue: when coming to a stop, the car jerks few times. On a few occasions the cars stalled. There is a mild judder on take off but after that car drives superb. I've done a full service inc gearbox oil and filter Diagnostics haven't picked up anything either. Any suggestions. Cant really afford a big bill to repair

Hi al just became a member. Been wanting to join a forum for a while but never got around to it. Im hoping someone can shed a light on my Mrs Audi A3 , this afternoon im in Preston remapping a car fitting bigger injectors and other bits for a customer and my good lady rings me and the way she is talking I thought she was being kidnapped. I say calm down what's up she says " I'm stuck in the middle of a junction and the car won't move when I accelerate" I tell her I'm in Preston and can't do much. Eventually I finish what I'm doing and shoot of back to Blackpool as quick as the rs4 will go. I find her sat in her Audi at the side ot the road. Lift the bonnet and tell her to start it. Then say go through the dsg gear side and also the auto side.both driveshafts spin but the wheels don't turn. I tell her to do it again and same thing happens. I ring my pal and tell him to meet me at he car when he can, I take the Mrs home and a couple of hours later my buddy turns up. We go to the car to tow it back to mine. Attach it to his car and we pull off. That's when I hear and feel the drive shaft knocking and banging as if the drive shaft has snapped in the cup at one end, same noise my driveshaft made when I did it in at Santa pod. are the Audi A3 driveshafts known to go at the bearing cup or is there a fault with the dsg box there was no noises she said she just set off from the lights and it just wouldn't go anywhere. The clutch was changed 6 months ago, t only reason it's confusing me is that he drive shafts spin up when accelerate but don't turn the wheel. And there's no driveshaft noise till the wheel turns. Im going to jack it up today but can't be bothered taking the driveshaft out unless it's defo that , if not I'll take it to my garage and whip t gearbox off and rebuild it if I have to.. any my help anyone had this problem before please let me know thanks in advance

Hi all,i have a 2004 A3 2.0 TDI With a DSG gearbox, the car has done 130,000 and I use it to keep the mileage down on my A5, the car has been fine but last week it suddenly lost drive (like dipping the clutch) and the gear indicator flashed, stopped the car and re-stared and all was good again, but the problem kept coming back.VCDS had a gearbox code and description of shift solenoid 5 (N92) open or short to ground, so swapped it out with an eBay one, changed the oil and filter and tried again but got the same fault after about 20 min of driving the car isn't worth more than a grand so if I can't resolve it myself cheaply it will go up for spares or repair but if anyone has any any advice that would be greatly appreciated, I was going to take the mechatronic out again and give a good inspection of connections etc
