happy new year... well... after the best part of 6 months back and forth to Audi who knows if it's fixed... firstly they replaced the main wiring loom which had fluid on it from a weak coolant seal but then told me this had in turn ruined the gearbox mechatronics so that needed replacing too (which incidentally was considered consequential damage and not covered fully under warranty) so that bill started at just shy of £7k... then it failed again with the same warnings and it went back in, this time they replaced the circuit board for the gearbox but that didn't fix it so they had to put in a whole new gearbox (which includes a another new mechatronics) which was an additional £11k.... then about a month after that the coolant warnings came up and they had to replace the waterpump... so... if anyone wants to buy a black A7 245tdi specced out with a lot of new parts on it... you know where I am! I managed to argue most of the cost out of Audi but not all of it, really quite shocking the service and customer care. I've gone from loving the brand to now never willing to buy another car from them. I'm sorry you've experienced some similar issues I hope you don't endure the same process. Oh... and I was offered a £250 meal voucher for my inconvenience... WTF Good luck

Hi James, still waiting to hear from them.... the RAC guy who picked it up and plugged it into the his diagnostics said the car has had a proper melt down! Will let you know what Audi come back with.

just experienced exactly the same issue, started with Gearbox malfunction warning light but said safe to continue then the next morning total failure and warning lights everywhere, dials dropping to zero... currently on it's way to Audi! What was the diagnosis in the end Newbie?
