New A8 4.2 D2 - Gearbox queries !
Hello peeps. 2 days ago i bought a D2 4.2 107K on the clock broken history, i had been trolling the forum before i bought it and new about the gearbox problems. But it didn't bother me I have an A4 2.6 also it runs great, easy to maintain etc etc.
So driving it down the motorway it was fine, but i noticed at road works around 40mph - 50mph it felt like it was slipping (slightly jerking or seemed like it was looking for a gear, revs were going up and down 500rpm) when giving very little throttle (harder throttle its fine), reverse engages the car jerks when you let the brake off ( whats that all about ?).
I knew before i bought it that i would be doing a gearbox oil change. But i didnt know how hard and expensive it was to get parts. Iam used to normal cars where you have an option of choices for parts and oils.
For this all i can get is the ATF code G052 911 A2 and quoted at 18.99 1 litres, and for the filter gasket and sump nut, came too £49.94 from slough Audi.
So if 7 litres are needed £132.93 in oil and £182.87. Plus i need an oil change, rear pads and a rocker cover gasket (also new was a common problem)
My engine and gear box codes are ABZ and DNW DTD. If any ones done this work and has the same codes can you give me the part numbers and where i should be buying them. One audi place i phoned has no idea or what i needed or was trying to do and swore he had never had anyone ask about this problem before.
I got a feeling im barking up the wrong tree here. Can some one perhaps point me to a more appropriate tree or let me know if i indeed have the correct tree to be barking up.
Please help me !
