That's the F125 transmission range sensor switch. I had mine done when mine started banging into reverse and doing a few crap gear changes. Unit 10 aren't that far away from there. They'd be far better at sorting the car out. Yes your right mate, sorry for late reply. The steering fluid leak is now...

So apparently Chester say they can not take responsibility for the diagnostic check that comes up with a switch on the side of the gearbox being at fault. This is the reason for the banging into reverse and not finsing tiptronic or sport mode. They say that they dont know that this was already doing...

This one would be a better choice https://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-81849-motu ... e-oil.aspx

So 10 litres for 78 95 after rs246 discount for the right oil and decent oil? Would you go for this dides? Shoppinit?
I need some soon when i get my car back..

The power steering can pretty much only be the front pipes, which are removed during the operation. Feels like they skipped the road test, i.e. running it for a few days, putting some miles on it and sorting any issues. Always a good idea after major surgery. I left the undertray mine and it makes ...

At least they are admitting fault and fixing it I guess. I doubt they will sort your power steering for free though. That could have happened any time. Unless its a loose fitting they haven't done up properly I guess.... Fingers crossed. There was nothing wrong with car prior to them taking the car...

Fingers crossed buddy.
Sounds like you’re having a time of it.

All the best.

Thanks

Update - for those that give a toss. Car is now leaking power steering fluid (not sure where from) and they are are also taking the car back under warranty due to the gearbox also being <beep>. Gearbox is not happy and does alsorts of strange things. Banging into reverse, ok if put in drive first on...

The bang into reverse can be the transmission range sensor. If it's banging into gear then it's no good. Make Chester Autos sort it out. You don't pay a fortune for a gearbox rebuild to have it behave like that. Yes dude I will try and get this sorted out. I will be ringing them Monday morning and ...

Hows does the gear selector feel? Does it sometimes need a little nudge to pop it into reverse? Where the cable connects to the gear selector on the gearbox, the bracket is on a slider for adjustment (and it's taken off during the gearbox extraction).If that's out a little, might not be quite regis...

Exactly.
I will be on the phone to them Monday morning. The also did not get back to me when they should of. Pissed right off.
Owning this car must be like smoking crack. Pure heaven one minute and then everyones a c&&t the next! Its making me bipolar this car....

I went to audi and it was only eleven quid. Green, and they said they use the same fluid in all cars no matter the spec of model. Power steering pump took 3 days to settle properly and now is silent again. I did expect the power steering fluid to be eleventy seven or some <beep> but no eleven quid!!...

On mine, I found it needs to settle a little and then be topped up - if there's any bubbles left, the pump makes the noise.

Does this happen every time to the steering after gesrbox or engine out and steering fluid drain ?

Everything is back to normal with the steering now but took a cpl of days for the pump to recover it seems and the air to be gone. Yes i put the right fluid in. No bubbles now. However im not happy that this happened, it should not have happened. We will now see what the gearbox is saying over the n...

Chester Autos have moved to new premises, my sat nav took me to the old place. The person at the old warehouse said they had moved about 3 years ago. They did all the work in house but sent away the converter. They also said after i rang up to make my feeling clear (along with a few extra scratches)...
