Hi all, so... the story is... I bought a 2012 Audi A6 2.0tdi S line with 56000 miles on it yesterday. Drove the car away from the lot with no issues, and continued to drive the car for the whole day with no issues. Got home late last night parked up and went to bed.. very happy with my new purchase. This morning before I had gone back outside, I even contacted a car wrapping company to de chrome the car, after getting this booked in... time to start the day. I head out to the car this morning.. simply go to the put the car into reverse... and it won’t move, it only revs. The car thinks it’s in reverse... parking sensors come on, reverse light come on at the back, ‘R’ on the dash. But when i put my foot down the car does not move and just revs. When I put the car into Drive, it moves... it will go forward with no problems, but it will not go backwards. After I had managed to get the car to a more open space (towing backwards in neutral and then driving forward to the open location) I tried to rev it hard (not advised) to see if it would engage at higher revs... the car jolted back rather agressively and then cut out... when i turned the car back on the Reverse still does not work and I am hesitant to rev it hard again incase I am doing it any damage. Is this a common fault? Has anyone been in this same situation? Help me please!! Thank you in advance James
