Hi Guys,

Is there anyone local to Watford who is willing to meet up with me to run a quick check on Vag.com.

I think my DSG gearbox maybe playing up and also the car seems to have a slight jerk and feels like it is missing.

the 1st\2nd gear seem hard and going to the 3rd gear and moving back down to 3rd gear is hard also.

Many thanks Raza

Sorry mate i'm miles away from you but post up in the vag.com section and see anyone can help there.

Dunc

Does the S4 have a DSG box???

Yes.

Really, you mean the 2010 Model? Thought the B6/B7 tip has a ZF box?

I must be confused

It is the ZF box then as I just bought the car 1 month ago

You have a tiptronic

correct

If it's a '99 doesn't that make it a B5 rather than a B6/B7?

Or am i confused?

It is a B6 S4 53.

B6 S4s don't have DSG, just regular tiptronic. I read that this was because the DSG couldn't handle the torque produced by the 4.2 V8.

mine must be the standard tiptronic then.

I had a M3 before buying this S4 and the SMG was far more superior and fun

Can't handle the torque produced by a 3.2 V6 either by all accounts

SMG gets slated by the motoring press, BMW are moving to a DSG type box.

Tip is a great box as autos go but it's heavy on emmissions unlike DSG

I take it nobody's close to Watford then?
I did get a little confused when i saw 99 s4 at the bottom as well

What are your symptoms? Chances are that nothing will show up on vagcom until it's too late. Unless you were planning on doing some logging?
