Hi Gareth, thank you. Would a local (non Audi dealer) be able to do the software works post flushing the gearbox? Does it needs to have a software reset? Someone previously mentioned, for a donor gearbox, it would need software works. After flushing, or donor gearbox, would a local dealer be able to handle the Audi software part? What do I need to ask local deal to check their Audi software tools? Appreciate your views sir.

Hello. I am new , but have been a following the various threads posted here for a while. Your advice is really appreciated. My A6 2013 automatic TDI 2.0 was stalling. Its done close to 100,000 miles. So I took it to an official Audi dealer to have this resolved and a minor service two weeks ago. They did a software reboot - still not solved stalling. I took it back to Audi after two weeks to have it fixed again on Thursday. This time they found that there was coolant contamination in the gearbox. If below 50 parts per million coolant contamination, they can flush the gearbox and repair. Since its already 150 parts per million - the whole gear box plus pipes needs be replaced. Do I have any legs to stand on. Should Audi dealer have picked up this issue early and still be in position to repair not replace? My insurer only covers accident not this type of mechanical failure. Is scrapping the car the only option at a huge loss? Thank you for your help - I really don't know where else to go.
