Antabb Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Hi, I'm literally on the verge of buying a 2012 FWD multitronic with 30k miles but I've just been reading pages and pages of multitronic horror stories on different forums and now I'm worried. All the complaints I've read seem to refer to older cars so I'm hoping this is a thing of the past and I've nothing to worry about?? Any advice would be gratefully received, thank you in advance.

Trevor Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Hi Anthony...welcome to the Forum I believe that Audi has now sorted their transmissions issues and are now quite reliable and efficient. I would, however, ensure that the servicing has been done correctly including transmission fluid and filter changes as this will ensure long life. Keep us updated on how it all goes with the purchase. Cheers Trevor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Hello Anthony, On a much simpler tack to Trevor's very sound advice and experience, I would strongly recommend talking with the last registered keeper. Basic, but more often than not overlooked as the best source of information and experience with the particular vehicle you are intending to buy. For me, it would be - don't buy without doing this. Good luck with whatever you decide, Kind regards, Gareth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antabb Posted January 12, 2017 Author Share Posted January 12, 2017 Thank you for the very sound advice, I'm going to test drive the car today and I'll try get the previous owners contact details off the dealer. I've done my research and think I know what to look out for. I will let you know how it goes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whizzbang Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Hi Antabb, Excellent car car is the A7! What spec did you get? If it's anything like my A6 which I imagine it is, you will certainly find it's a "Drivers Car" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
