@ Siena

Great to read from you again after all these years av been an ardent fan of your great thread about the Audi - a great brand av come to love passionately: a head turner anytime you see one! I've used four Jap cars - two sedans and two SUVs so far and you've long made me fall in love with this german marque. Bros, av been dreaming of the A4 ever since and am doing all i can to own one soon. Pls stick around for your highly invaluable pieces of tips. Thumbs up, Bro!

Hey brother!

Good to hear from you. I'm still around, but less active on here due to family, work and some "home projects" currently going down.

Nice to hear you've been bitten by the Audi bug. Let me know when you're ready to get hold of your preferred model, and I'll do my very best to help.

Hey Mr Sienna...
Was looking for your older thread on Volkswagen and Audi resolution issues but since this was your latest post i felt i'll find you here..
Anyways, I've got a VW 2012 Passat 1.8 TSI. Everything about the car has been good so far but in the last 6-8 months, i've noticed that when trying to accelerate from 2nd gear, there is a jerk/stall similar to what you have when you try to move a manual geared car from start using 2nd or 3rd gear.

I notice this more when i'm driving on roads where there are plenty of speed bumps. I slow down to go over the bumps and it drops to second but when i try to accelerate after going past, it jerks. If i go real slow and the gear drops down to 1st, the acceleration would be smooth without any issues. I've taken it to the Volkswagen center here and they felt it was an issue with the gear mapping... They did the "software update" but it hasn't made any difference.

I'm wondering if you have any idea what could cause this since you're quite familiar with the build of these cars.

Thanks

Could you send me your VIN please?

Hi Siena,

My transmission cooler line was broken in an accident.
I am thinking of draining the entire transmission fluid and filling it up with a new fluid.
Car is a 2001 2.4L V6 Audi A6
What are your thoughts?

chuksmoney:
I need information on the price of windscreen for a 2007 Jetta.

Mr Siena,

My girlfriend wants to buy a 2004 Audi A4. She likes it so much.
What are your advices, bro.
Any mech issue common with car?

Hello bro,

I'll need more details of the Audi A4 your girlfriend proposes to buy.

Transmission type.
Engine size.
Drive configuration (Quattro AWD or FWD).

Different things to look out for with different variants.

Siena:


A transmission drain and refill is a good idea, as long as the correct Audi fluid is used. If you use any other substitute, your transmission will fail. If you do NOT intend to use the correct Audi ATF, my advice will be to leave it well alone, unless you intend to purchase a replacement tranny.

Another issue is mileage. What is the current mileage of your Audi A6? When the ATF line got broken, was the transmission starved of oil for even a short period? Is the PRNDS indicator on the dash all lit up as one?

Hi Siena,

The Audi A6 has 120k miles on it. The PRNDS lights are not lit up. The car was towed by another sedan after the crash and it stalled on the way. They got a tow truck and took it a garage. They fixed the damaged parts and drained the ATF and filled with Audi approved ATF.
What happened after they started the car was rather strange to me. The car would move by itself even though the gear is physically in Park.
Could this mean changing the transmission? What are your thoughts?
Thanks.

Your car can be damaged with a tow like this ..
THere are differentials, axles, driveshafts, transmissions, pretty much any mechanical part directly connected between your wheels and the engine

For God's sake why should you tow an all wheel drive.... am very sure ur audi is the awd quattro....

Towing vehicles varries
An awd should never be towed neither by raising the front tires or back, a flat bed must be used
For a fwd the front can b lifted and towed
Rwd u cn lift the rear and tow the ride

[size=1pt]Lemme spoil his mood and day[/size]. If OP's Audi is a quattro and he sling towed it, he should gather money for new front and rear diff and new gearbox. Guess what? The money to buy these parts go run into hundreds of thousands and e plenty o!


We never start to talk about transporting the parts or even mechanic workmanship.

Nixon55:


The car is FWD and from my post you will understand that I wasn't there when it was towed. They had an accident with it and towed it based on their own understanding.
The transmission would most likely be changed out. I will get it scanned and would post the codes.

Lol thats what am talking about earlier post...
The damage of towing an awd is disastrous... I guess kazeem towed the ride.. lol
Op should prepare lots of cash ....

My friend took mychevrolet venture 2003 Awd LT out sometimes back .. the car had an issue and it refused to start, he towed the vehicle with all wheels on the ground from ikeja to festac, when he called me i almost fainted.. at that time i just bought my dodge charger . So frnds drive the chevy sometimes...
When i saw the ride everything looked normal . The kick starter was replaced the car came on
...
I was praying , while i decided to give the car a test drive
At first on the dash it showed awd disabled and abs, i switched to drive and i was hearing a very loud noise from the differentials under it keeps on sounding at any speed above 8km...making a gbam gbam gbam sound
I called my mech i spent lots of cash to revive the ride . Though my tranny wasnt damaged....

Even after fixing it my awd was still disabled i tried everything i could but vehicle works fine...

But the car worries me alot this days ... its abandoned
I only use the pilot for now
