Further update on the 7 Speed S-Tronic DL-501 issue ...... I haven't been able to get the adaption re-done yet after the full gearbox and both filters service as Matt with VCDS has been incredibly busy with his day job, but the one thing I will say after using the car for a few weeks now is it is incredibly smoother than it was before the service and the first VCDS mild adaption, no longer does it thump from second to first and even in reverse there seems to be a definite difference in the take up of the gear, especially on a slope, something it didn't like doing at all before the service, I am genuinely surprised how fresh filters and proper manufacturer recommended "MEYLE" DSG OIL can make that much of a difference, I haven't taken it on a long run yet and got everything in the gearbox up to a constant temperature and speed but around town driving is noticeably smoother. As it started to fail on me and throw the dreaded yellow warning light on the dash after long motorway cruising I don't want to count my chickens too soon, but I'm hopeful that with a final and Full VCDS Gears Adaption my problem may well be pretty much sorted, as usual will keep posting updates for other members ......... 🤔

I am trying to negotiate a 10 year Extended warranty. Whe n it goes again I get my spare fitted immediately and the warranty replacement becomes my spare, that way I always have in stock the latest model. Now I know what to look out for my wife and I can manage any future problems as otherwise it is a great car.

Do you think they will cover the costs ? Have they offered you anything and do you have yours back now ? One of the reasons I rejected the last rs6 was this fault and that my wife wouldn’t drive it - too scared of this occurring and I can’t say I can blame her. As we know, it happens quite fast and leaves the car utterly dead. I was lucky this time as I got to a lay-by but if I’d had my dogs with me it becomes very challenging or on a smart motorway……last time it was the top of an m25 exit slip on a blind bend. It really wasn’t nice at all. And what really grates is I went from a car I had from new into one that wasn’t and was older that the one I was rejecting only to find I have the same issue….

Hi all just brought a 1999 Audi a3 8l with 50.000 on the clock runs beautiful sometimes but idles up to 15.000 rpm other times

Thanks for the links Kev. Annoyingly last week I discovered from my mechanic that if I buy any 2.5tdi engine and keep my current injection pump and ECU the car will think the replacement engine is the original and will run. Wish I'd known that a year ago instead of worrying about coding of injection pumps and imobilisers etc. So my simplest option is to find a bau version of the 2.5tdi as this was the last variation of that engine and most refined in theory. Trying to find one with low miles and proven service history, but naturally this is proving difficult.

Just curious 😉

What's the engine code of the A4?

I am reluctantly having to give up my A4. Not many of these left on the road. 134,000 miles on clock. Good runner, just needing a lot of TLC on the bodywork which I don’t have the time or patience for unfortunately. Do we think there would be any enthusiasts interested?

Very good point on age Steve. Kind regards, Gareth.

Sorry Gareth, I was just questioning what the interval would be as it's an 8 year old car, and I thought it's usually 5 years or 120k, but I could be wrong and it could have already been done previously.

I'd suspect it's a one piece. I'd recommend looking on eBay for A5 door trim.

From looking online this spec is very rare. I'd estimate it's worth between 2-3k.

Glad you’re sorted. I don’t think I can agree on the quality being better on the smaller cars in the range. I’ve had pretty much every size of car in the VAG group and it is pretty much pot luck as per other manufacturers. The current A6 seems to be pretty good quality wise. A split seal is just random poor luck and not really that serious, more annoying on a relatively new car.

hi, had my gearbox rebuilt on my quattro. its not driving right been told it is the emc module not sinking with the gearbox.is there any one know of any i t companies out there how can sort this out. thanks.🤪
