Hi guys, I’ve just bought a 2003 a6 avant to use while I’m renavating a house. It’s a cracker of a motor and I’m suitably impressed. My question is does anyone know about the auto gearbox options. It’s a 6 speed auto, I know this because when you move the gear lever over into the sport mode the numbers on the dash appear and it’s 6. I’ve even used them all and counted 6. Looking on wiki they didn’t do a 6 speed auto which has got me confused. Any help with this would be great .

Thanks and in advance 

Welcome to the forum Mark, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) 

You have bought a cracking Audi if I do say so myself. And it's not like I'm biased 😉

The correct gearbox for your a6 would have been the CVT auto. However if this has failed on the car at some point then a later gearbox may have been fitted but I wouldn't be able to say for certain. 

Cheers
