Yet another gearbox thread

[sweegie]

...Worn bands...

The only worn bands your likely to see in an RS6 are Jamiroquai.

would be advisable to take it to a gearbox specialist as opposed to just a very well respected Audi RS specialist

This is once you've dropped the engine and box out the car, yes?

Yey, I have my very own stalker, hope you're a pretty young thing.
How many cars have worked worked on? How many do you think either the above specialists have? They will be able to give you a good indication of what's up with the car. Both of the above could rebuild a box, I've done getting onto around 100 so they wouldn't have any problem at all.
If the box needs stripping, the box needs stripping, but it could just be low oil level or blocked filter, or incorrect filter.
Do you buy presents or just stalk on the internet, keyboard warrior style as you put it?

sorry its taken so long... yawn,,, your nonsense is that boring ive only just managed to wake up from your irrelevant drivel.

Stop this immediately. Chunky is my plaything.

Chunky is my plaything.

And my plaything is chunky.

OP, your box sounds more shagged than a cheap dutch hooker. And much like sex with a professional, you've got to pay decent money to get the job done right.

You've clearly never been to Pattaya - Walking Street.

Huh. "Best ping pong action there is" I was told, but I didn't see a single table tennis table. And I took my best bats. Disappointed.

Never made it to Asia yet, but I was in Kosice shortly after the fall of Communism. I never did get an itemised receipt, so can only assume the party sized hot tub was free.

Reminds me of when I went to the Banana Bar in Amsterdam. No fruit smoothies and the coffee had a strange jamacan aroma to it.

Don't you think it's jumping to conclusions at a rather early stage?

All of the symptoms you mention could be a by product of insufficient oil pressure and flow, wouldn't you agree? The clutch packs rely on hydraulic pressure to maintain pressure between the plates. No pressure and there is nothing to hold the clutch packs tight against each other and you get slip and the symptoms and codes mentioned.

Funnily enough if you replace the gearbox and TC you get a gearbox with the correct oil filter pickup and correct amount of oil in it and amazingly it works. Something that can be done to an already fitted gearbox and can result in solving their symptoms for a lot less money. I worked in hydraulics during my airforce years, hydraulics are incredibly reliable but if you starve it of oil through whatever means, the system will not work.

From what I see on here there are way too many people who simply jump on the bandwagon and say take your car to MRC or Unit20 for a new gearbox along with the million of other things that need replacing 'whilst it is out sir' without the slightest amount of fault diagnosis. Then said owners post on here about how their last visit cost them more than the value of their car and they now need to sell

I like your thinking!

Hello guys, I'm back with some news ...

I just received the sensors that are faulty ...

Today, I tried to replace the vehicle speed sensor, but it was a fail !!! It wouldn't come out !!! Turbo was on the way.

Does anyone know how to take it out ?

On elsa, they make it seem like it's easy, but I think that they forgot to say that they do it while the gearbox is out ...

Thank you.

Most jobs on the C5 RS start with... after removing your wallet via the engine and gearbox drop method...

Reminds me of asking an Irishman for directions. "Oh, I wouldn't start ya journey from here..."

[Shoppinit]

Sell the car and use the money to go to Thailand. You'll be poor but happy (and possibly terminally ill) afterwards.

Hello guys, I might have found a solution :

Is it possible to remove the bolts that hold this part (the one that the VSS goes into and is out on the second picture) and turn it a bit ?





Credit for the picture, goes to (http://www.motorgeek.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=46685)

I think this might be possible, only problem I see is the oil seal. I'm wondering if the oil behind the driveshaft is geabrox oil or some sort of differential oil ?

Because if the seal needs replacing, I'll have to take the other driveshaft out to take the part out and that will be another job keeping in mind the limited access ...

Thanks for your

@ bam_bam : you are right, I'm begining to see that almost everyjob, requires to take the engine out, it's irritating ...

@ Shoppinit : I can keep the car and still be happy. For that I'll just have to turn the engine, and I might forget all of the problems, efforts ...

[Shoppinit]

You can get the diff cover and bearing off on one side of the car but not the other. I can't remember which side. Might say in Elsawin.

Funny enough, just had a similar problem with this. I'm reassembling my engine and forgot to re-house the speed sensor before putting the left turbo back on. There are some rigid lines in the way and the sensor is just a little bit too long to go in straight into the gearbox housing. Also the bolt holding it in needs an allen key on it and all the turbo lines are in the way. I switched this out for a normal bolt to allow access in the future - not sure if this is even going to help me but thought it was prudent.

My solution was to undo the turbo to manifold bolts x3 (I have just replaced them all) when gave me a few mm of play, but I'm guessing your engine hasn't been dropped at all and you don't have access them (and even if you did it would be a pain to undo them)

There is another plug on the same wiring loom that is best unplugged when you are playing around with the speed sensor as it really gets in the way.

That's all I know so far!
