Symptoms suggest one of the clutch drums disintegrated. Disconnect the gearbox ECU (under the driver's footwell carpet) and see if it goes backwards then.
If so it needs to go to Chester, Mackies etc for a new drum and full rebuild. |
I think you are right. S6 - I was guessing based on the mechanic mentioning it was the same gearbox/engine line as my D3 and due to a private reg no idea of the age, I only got that yesterday on a second look etc.
If i'm honest i'm not that up on Audi's apart from the 8's
It's not mine but i've passed on Chester and suggested calling them, they'll pass that on to the owner and we can hope.
Looks a nice car and doing a net search they got it for a good price, albeit knowing that it had a gearbox issue. I think they were thinking it was a simple garage job rather than what it'll end up being!
