So I just got the P0741: Torque Converter Clutch Circuit Performance/Stuck Off code on my Silver 2003 RS6. The car itself doesn't have any noticeable symptoms. Drives fine. I did a data log and I don't see any strange RPM/Engine Load numbers. I don't have an advanced scan tool that would allow me to view the Converter RPM compared to the Input Shaft speed RPM. If anyone has had this error on this car and gone through the process of fixing it, I would greatly appreciate to hear your story.
Here is a link to the data log from my BlueDriver: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ERKYmO ... sp=sharing It's mostly highway driving between 60-80mph.

Re: Code P0741 Torque Converter Clutch Circuit Performance/Stuck Off
I’d do an atf and filter change to see how the fluid looks. Most of the time the torque converter dtc are the harbingers of box replacement.

Re: Code P0741 Torque Converter Clutch Circuit Performance/Stuck Off
and by box replacement, do you mean the torque converter or the entire trans?
Re: Code P0741 Torque Converter Clutch Circuit Performance/Stuck Off
Whole transmission. Where are you? USA? You’ve got some options out there.

Robbie, I think you've got a strong case for getting your money back on the car.

Gutted for you. Sounds like a proper dodgy dealer who knew he was punting a lemon. Hopefully you'll get satisfaction. Keep us updated.

Wheeler dealers are advertising one. Looks like it would be worth a look. It's on there Facebook page.
Re: Code P0741 Torque Converter Clutch Circuit Performance/Stuck Off
I think this is the best result in the circumstances. There are good cars out there, but I get why you might be reticent.Robbie b wrote: ↑Fri Apr 14, 2023 8:00 pmI was fuming today when the car wouldn't start so enough was enough.i finally got hold of him and he has agreed to take it back and refund me.i really would of loved to keep the car but I just couldn't.it was going to start costing a fortune to fix and I still had to shell out 6600 to vrt it as its a UK car before I done a thing to it.am proper gutted and can't even think of anything else I want to hop into now after driving the rs.many thanks for all your help tho appreciate it
You could try an E92 M3. Good cars. Brutal performance and I reckon they will appreciate.
