well the value of the car depends on 3 things ...condition, condition and condition
point is , it's probably heading for the breakers as is , so little value , but you can't complain at your loss for 18 months pleasurable motoring at the price you paid
but what would you have to lay out to replace it ? and what sort of guarantee would that have ? at least if you spent money on this you would know what you had and the value when you came to sell it would be higher than it is right now !
maybe a new unit from ZF/ audi would be too expensive , but there are gearbox specialists about who would fit you a rebuild with a 2 year guarabtee for a considerably lower price
in the meantime keep your eye open for a used unit with the correct code , people on this forum are good at spotting such things and will tell you if they do !
