Transmission fault

[Turgay e-tron 55]

Hi everyone,

 

I have a 2019 e-tron 55, and a few days ago I started noticing a noise coming from the rear when starting to move and braking. At first, I suspected that something might have gotten stuck in the brake pads, as it sounded like a scraping noise.

 

Then I tried braking while the car was in neutral, and interestingly, the noise didn’t occur. I took the car to Audi Milton Keynes, but they told me there were no fault codes detected. However, when they took a sample from the transmission oil, they found metal particles and said the transmission needs to be replaced.

 

I called several places for repair, but it’s nearly impossible to find a specialist. Considering the average repair cost for most cars is around £3000, the £4600 quote I got from the dealership actually seemed reasonable.

 

They said the part will take 3–4 days to arrive, and the removal and installation should take another 2 days.

A new transmission on a six year old car is surprising. How many miles has it done?

It is just 62000 miles.
