Re: DSG Shunt when coming to a stop

I had this on mine and spent a quite a while chasing it with Audi. Take it to the dealership you purchased from and ask them for glycol test on the gearbox oil. ATF radiator may have failed and contaminated the clutch packs. There is a TPI on it. Audi will want to do an adaptive drive reset first. ...

Re: DSG Shunt when coming to a stop

Alright so got the RS4 back few days ago and Audi have carried out a software update and adaptation. The DSG fluid level was also a bit high they found. Not sure if they carried out the glycol test.

Re: DSG Shunt when coming to a stop

Does the shunt you mention feel like the car has been nudged up the rear? When it changes from 2nd to 1st? Had this on my S4 and sorry to say it does sound like a gearbox problem. It is the mechatronics rather than the gearbox itself. Cost is circa £4k to fix (if I remember correctly the part alone...

Re: DSG Shunt when coming to a stop

Does it jolt the car or just feels like lack of engine braking? I found I had to be heavier on the brakes on this car when rolling to a stop than in a manual.

Re: DSG Shunt when coming to a stop

Thanks RS4LAD - yes I do have Audi Approved Plus warranty (purchased vehicle from Audi dealer) so my mind's relatively at ease. Also 3 months statutory warranty.

DSG Shunt when coming to a stop

Hi guys, Just picked up an MY14 8K RS4 on Friday and been driving the hell out of it trying to get accustomed to it. I'm chuffed to bits with it but as always when you buy a car after you drive it for a few days you start to notice little quirks here and there. This is my first Audi and also my firs...
