It’s entirely possible (common?) for the box to be mechanically faulty and cause slipping and flaring, without any lights on. Borrow some trade plates or find a nice private road so you can test it, doesn’t need to be fast fast, stationary to 30mph will probably show up, you just need to feel a gear...

You need to get it into a situation where you can do a reasonably hard first to second gear change, imagine like when you are pulling out of a junction into a stream of traffic to find out how bad the gearbox is. No need to go mental, particularly if the box is cold. If you bounce the limiter or it ...

After dropping the gearbox sump and valve body to replace the high pressure metal pipe for the 2nd gear clutch, I noticed the filter/strainer was cracked, pretty much directly below the intake into the valve block. My theory is when under cornering/acceleration, the oil would have been towards the b...

Heyup guys, if I could just add this to the thread and also an update on a thread I started back late last year regarding the same. After having the usual transmission issues widely experienced with the 5HP24, I’ve done what most have probably done on here and researched into the causes of why the ...

And there’s 2 in the service kit that are similar. One is for the filter, one is for the filter bung. They are similar enough that you need to check which way round to put them

Whereabouts is the filter bung? I recently changed the filter on mine, but didnt notice a bung in the old one.

Thats very interesting! Seems like its worth pulling the VB off and taking a look, before I give someone 3-5k to replace a nearly new box! Is this a relatively common problem?

I'm looking for recommendations for a RS6 gearbox expert, someone who is capable of pulling the gearbox from my RS6, rebuilding it, and bolting it back in...ideally with a warranty! Preferably in the south-west, birmingham, bristol, oxford etc, Unit 20 is a longggg way away. Its a 3k box, but is sli...

Intermittent Terminal 30 voltage too low usually means its had a flat battery at some point.

High pressure sensor G65 will stop the AC working.

I forgot to mention, the ATF level is correct, both me and the garage have checked it, its kinda golden clean and doesnt smell burnt.

Rejoining after a long absense, just picked up a '03 RS6 which had a new gearbox from audi within the last 4k. In general I'm really happy with it, but it sometimes seems to slip going 1st-2nd, the revs rocket up and then it goes into gear with a bang. Theres no fault codes showing, but one odd thin...
