B8 RS4 DSG gearbox clunk/knock in 5th
Posted: Wed Oct 23, 2019 10:50 pm
Hi all
My 2014 RS4 has recently started clunking/ knocking when the gear box is pre selecting 5th. Once its in gear it pulls fine. When shifting at low revs there is no vibration from the the selection, only noise. Audi have dropped the oil and found no metal contamination or cooling fluid contamination. I'm told that to carry out further tests they would need to drop the exhaust, remove the engine etc, a lot of labour. I took it to a gearbox specialist and they backed up that statement up. To be honest, Derby Audi didn't seem to want to carry out the work at all.
Can anybody recommend a specialist around the midlands area that has carried out similar work on their car?
Also, if anybody has come across a similar issue id be interested to hear about it.
Thanks
