drmotorsport Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 ok, it's been giving the occasional thump when slowing into 2nd gear and then when throttle is applied feels like it's selected 1st...but saturday it did an exaggerated version of this while in 2nd it revved up but there was no drive followed by a massive thump as something in the tranny bit and the car took off fast! I then proceeded to play with the tiptronic to see if i could replicate the problem in other gears or at least limp home - seems 1st-2nd was the most iffy. Car then decided not to play any more and the dash just displayed PRND123 whilst the gearbox decided it would only serve up 5th gear. Just called southend audi for a laugh - £4258 to supply and install new gearbox - yay! Given the car's got 150k on the clock and needs new front suspension anyway plus other bits and another cambelt service, it's probably scrap time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jettadeluxe Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 [ QUOTE ] my bid £1000 [/ QUOTE ] I think you'll find any A/S8 is worth MUCH more in parts than that, even with a frizted box, I suspect any breakers' offer will better yours easily...

IT_S8 Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 You'd be surprised... Most breakers dont know the difference between an S8 and a Vw Golf, so it wouldnt surprise me if £1000 was the upper limit for most breakers, if not less.... Anyhow, our offer would be higher than that, if we could only get hold of him ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
