The news is less good on my D2 - the MOT is sorted ok and new washer motor, track rod end and some fettling with the brake wiring to stop an intermittent brake warning light is done, but unbelievably the F125 switch on my gearbox has had to be replaced due to one of the internal components corroding and breaking off, and as this was one of the contacts it meant that the F125 was inhibiting starting of the car and throwing up warnings or not sending correct messages to the auto box, so it has had to be changed





I'm really quite annoyed about this as the box has barely done 25,000 miles from being changed and I'm also told the rear output seal is starting to dribble which means another job to change that shortly too. Is that really acceptable on a box with that low mileage from new? I know it is probably 5 years since changing it but geez surely there has to be some better longevity in a new box from Audi than that? Yours. . . . disgruntled in swindon
