Thanks Cliff, I find there OK when they do the yearly service for me, but there crap at diagnostics (or they don't want to tell you ) and they don't want to repair anything, they want to change it, like the gearbox.

Let me give you the full story lol. 1st off it wasn't my TT it was my daughters A3 04 plate, with only just under 50,000 on the clock. Trouble started in the auto box changing from 2nd to 3rd,it was jumping about and wouldn't change up. A friend of mine put the car on his VAG com and came up with the fault code P1845, this showed up as high pressure solenoid for 2nd and 3rd gear. So I took it to Audi for confirmation and they told me the car wasn't showing any faults, but after test driving it they said I need a new gearbox (£7000) and charged me £60 for diagnostics (could have done without that). When I told them I had it on a Vag com and it gave the fault code P1845, they said It's not 1 of there codes and they don't use Vag com, they use another diagnostics machine. Any way I took the car to a gearbox repair place in Chelmsford Essex called A&M Gearbox services ltd and they diagnosed it as the valve body faulty. They replaced the valve body and the car runs like a new car now. It cost me £1100 including fluids for the repair which i thought was well worth it considering Audi wanted to put a new box in for £7000 (thieving f*****s). Atb, Steve.

It was valve body, all sorted now.

Hi everyone, I've got a auto gearbox problem and have been told the fault code is P1845, but Audi say it isn't one of there codes. Does anyone know what the code is. Thanks in advance.

I've got the same problem just started on my car as well, (auto box) plus today it wouldn't change gear, so I pulled over took the key out of ignition, left it a minute and started the engine again and it has been fine for the last 50 odd miles, but I'm sure it will happen again , SO HELP NEEDED IF ANY ONES IN THE KNOW. Thanks in advance.
