Transmission questions

Thank you. I called them today. I was told I was going to get a call back but I didn't so they must have been busy.

Tim from ZF called me back with some more info today. He told me to carry out a stall test to determine whether the clutch packs are at fault. He also said that a bulletin had been issued regarding faulty coolant temperature sensors which can indirectly cause transmission issues and problems with shifting even if no fault codes are present.

I have also found out that Audi and ZF lifeguard 5 fluids are Mobil ATF LT 71141 rebottled.

That makes total sense as Audi and ZF are not major oil companies and wont be producing their own oil. What is intriguing is that the designation "LT 71141" is identified with an Esso product in the linked Mustangbuffs article earlier in this thread along with a statement that Mobil didnt produce a compatible ATF! What is true is that Opie and others stock Mobil ATF LT 71141 at £10.49/ltr from their site or £8.38 thru' their ebay site. (delivery extra)
