Re: Gearbox weirdness
Sounds about par for the course. It should say 507.00 on your receipt in that case.

Re: Gearbox weirdness
Haha yeah right numbers but in the wrong order. £570 and they said they'd done a discount (think they always say that).
Thank you again for your advice. I owe you a few pints now I think. I'll definitely continue to service every 10k or year (whichever sooner). And do spark plugs each 20k.
I think I know the answer but you can't see any way this could have caused the gearbox problem do you?
Thank you.

Re: Gearbox weirdness
I meant VW507.00 - the spec for the oil. It's important that you get one that's suitable for a PD engine. Although the 507.00 isn't the recommended oil, it'll do.
I thought I posted a reply about the gearbox. Bizarre. Here goes again:
Your problem sounds more like a problem with the F125. They might have knocked it while messing around under your car.

Aah I see thank you!! I'll speak to them and check about the oil and the F125.
Thankyouplease.

Re: Gearbox weirdness
All the gears turned red on my display yesterday 
Turned the car off and tried again and it was fine.
Got home, plugged in the Vagcom and code the F125 showing.
Deleted but returned, anyone got the part number as i've called TPS but i'm not sure we're on the same page
Doesn't seem like a huge job and i think the part is like £150 if we're talking about the same thing so I may as well just change it.
If anyone has the part num for a 2003 RS6 Avant, please post it up.
Cheers

01L 919 821B is the switch. It's quite a common problem, but haven't seen it crop up for a while. I wonder if this signals the start of a new epidemic.
some background info here. Pretty much the same on the RS6:

Re: Gearbox weirdness
While you're messing with the Vagcom, might be worth checking the selector mechanism, too. That can fail and you can get a similar warning.
In fact, post up your DTC so we can have a nosey.

Re: Gearbox weirdness
mine is replaced shortly after i bought it, seem to remember they (Audi stealer, which asked me if it has air suspension... ) removed/loosened some kind of mount from...i cant remember...i was surprised they didnt get the front bumper in service position considering their knowledge of these cars 
(the switches seem to go sooner when its cold...)

If you can't go to the track, bring the track to you.

Re: Gearbox weirdness
Cheers for the replies guys,
It's been proper cold here for a couple of weeks so that might explain it.
Shop; yeah i googled it last night and saw that link (along with a few others).
I don't have the Vag Com with me (on my iPhone) but i wrote down the faults.
Engine:
16885 - vehicle speed sensor.
Auto Trans:
17090 - transmission range sensor (F125).
ABS:
00283 - abs wheel sensor, front left.
0119 - gear recognition signal.
I still haven't got the ABS pump reconditioned! But i beleive that could resolve thew issue with the speed sensor and gear recognition as the speedo/dials all work fine.
I'm thinking, change the F125 and then get the ABS pump reconditioned and clear the codes to see if they come back.
Then change whatever remains (i.e speed sensor).
Is the other sensor your referring to the TR switch? Do you have the part number? Might just do that for safe measure too.

Re: Gearbox weirdness
The gear selector is a complicated mechanism that costs a bomb and the bit that fails is a 2p magnet / reed switch. Best thing to do is test it first to decide whether it needs messing with or not.

Re: Gearbox weirdness
01119 - gear recognition signal, i had this code before my gearbox was rebuilt i hope its due to your ABS fault. http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthrea ... p-diagnose

Re: Gearbox weirdness
Hmmm... I hope not! I only recently had work done on my gearbox.
Ross-tech says check the TCM for faults.
http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/01119
How do i do this? The last check I did was a full check, does that not include the TCM?

Re: Gearbox weirdness
The only thing that 01119 means is that the ABS unit has been made aware that there's a problem in the TCU (TCM if you prefer) that needs addressing. You already know that because you've seen the fault code. Ignore the ABS problem until you get the gearbox issue sorted out.
TO test the selector, connect to the gearbox module on the Vagcom and look through the measuring blocks until you find the values from the selector, then move the selector to the different positions and see what the reading is on the Vagcom. Make sure it corresponds. I think the F125 is the more likely culprit, though.
