  1. Have got a d2 a8 and am having issues with the gearbox. If the car goes into 4th gear the revs go massively high then it bumps into limp mode. I've had issues with the gearbox before and unfortunately the warranty has run out and they will not help me out. So can anyone recommend a company to use? I'm just off the a3 halfway between guildford and Portsmouth but am quite willing to go a reasonable distance if the company is particularly good. Also I anyone has any ideas what is going on it would be appreciated. I have had the box replaced before and I also had the gearbox ecu inspected and reconditioned but the issue keeps on appearing. Many thanks Peter
  2. Hi all. I bought a 2001 3.7 A8 with 80,000 on the clock about 5 weeks ago and have no end of problems with the gearbox. A week after getting the car the gearbox went into safe mode, then seized completly. Went back to the garage in croydon that i got it from and he got it transferred to a local gearbox specialist to sort and was in there for around a week. ( they said that 2 cogs were actually welded together) Had a new gearbox installed and about a week later it went again, went back to the gearbox specialists as they had given me a 12 month 12,000 mile warranty. 2 weeks on and after countless phone calls chasing them up its still not sorted!! Basicly they re-did the gearbox again, then found that there was somethinig wrong with part of the loom. After sorting that they tried to clear the fault codes off the car so i could have it back, however they couldnt because the car wouldnt let them! They then found that they had forgotten to plug something in so back out came the box again. Sorted that, put it back in and still wouldnt clear the codes so it went across to Audi to be looked at, Audi found that some part that plugs onto the loom ( they did tell me but i cant remember what it was) was faulty and that was why the gearbox was burning out. so got that part and put it in, which meant the box was out again. Now that that is done, yesterday i had them call me and say that while testing the car it was pissing oil out of the gearbox! Reason apparently is the oil pump in the gearbox has to put a manufacturers original part, not a cheaper version. So as it stands now they have ordered the new pump from Audi, which has to come from germany as they have none in the uk and that could take up to 10 days to arrive! So they will have had the car at their garage for longer than i've had it!!! Has anyone ever heard of these problems?? Many Thanks Pete
