RS3 transfer box

Post by steve.i.brown » Fri Nov 22, 2013 9:52 pm

Anyone had trouble with transfer box, only had RS3 for 3 months, oil leak from transfer box, dealer working with Audi to resolve, apparently box shot. Been asked a lot of questions if I've modified anything.

Not heard of anyone with such an issue before. Hope you get it sorted under warranty.

Dealer ordered new transfer box should be done next week, internal of transfer box wrecked & oil cooked. I guess I should stop using launch control.

If Audi put the launch functionality in then it is there to be used. They even put it in the operating manuals.

I'm having a new gearbox in my RS 5 next week on warranty and it is three years old.
