HI,

2015 2.0 TDI Technik 150hp 8 speed

Had car aboutt 3 weeks, 97,700 on it, when picked up, now just over 98,000 can see ATF was done at 40,000, regular serviceing every year upto 67,,000 on avg only 5-10,000 miles per year, then in 2022 jumps 20,000 miles no more service records or documentation, Trader states with reciept OIL change and fluid top ups & 12 month mot before I pickup (400mile round trip), not sure can trust them.

Ive had ATF & Filter changed, got DPF light on so took for motorway spin, but when I use paddle to drop gear it would shift back in normal auto mode D/S depending which I was in within 30secs, would not hold manualy gear.

Car drives and shifts without any jerking is nice and smooth dosent appear to slip when changing gears, have noticed when warm there is a slight hesitation when setting off.

No Error Codes for transmission .

Any ideas

Surely the gearbox is DSG not CVT?

The lack of service records for 20000 miles means either a service was missed or it was done at a non Audi garage. Add that to the possibility of an expensive gearbox fault and I would be inclined to reject the car before the 30 day limit is up.

Definatly 8 speed CVT, are we thinking definatly gearbox fault here, do I have to get it diagnosed as proof before reject, just checked time flys its just over the 30 day period, as trader is 200 miles away do I have to take to them to repair or can I get someone else to do it if faulty and charge finance/trader

Over the 30 day limit you will need to take legal advice about any recourse, but I am not optimistic about your chances.

It's irrelevant to the matter, but if the gearbox has 8 gears it cannot be a CVT (continuously variable transmission). It is a standard automatic DSG (double shift gearbox).

Cheers, its on finance, been doing some reading have upto 6 months for them to attempt 1 repair, but presumably will have to get proper diagnotics, will take it to AUDI specialist to have checked over, god knows how much that will cost.

and checked the P number lable in boot and gear box type is NYM

From internet:
The Audi "NYM" is an 8-speed Multitronic automatic transmission, which is a type of Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)

And the gearbox filter just had changed is the round thing that goes in top of gearbox.

I wish it wasent CVT (own fault for not doing enough research, but will see, I have been trying to do some research and people have said this thing has mind of its own and when use manual to drop gear it can go back into normal automode by itself if thinks may be at risjk of causing an issue, as I say there are no fault codes on gearbox, its dosent slip under accelartion, just this slight hesitation when moving off when warm.

Apart from that eveything else is smooth.
