Audi A6 Saloon, 2007 3.0TDi Tiptronic Le Mans.. Not happy.
Discussion
Hi all, my first post and looking for some clarity if I could please.
I bought a 2007 (57 reg) Le Mans edition A6 with 93k, 3 days ago.. It has a FSH, mainly all indi (but I dont mind that).
Firstly the fuel gauge stopped working right away, so it has gone back in to the dealer (local trader not Audi) - to get that rectified..
The biggest issue or... maybe its a non-issue is with the gearbox, it shifts ok and pulls alright but it feels like it is slipping as its gaining speed.
Is this the torque converter doing it's thing? It's like it will accelerate and the MPH will be piling on but the rev's aren't going up as it does so and seems to 'stick' at a certain revs then it feels like it catches and then the revs go round as 'normal'.. This is the first true torque converter box i've had.
It feels as though it is feeding the power through then when it's happy it lets the revs go... Unless the box requires a service, new oil etc?
There are a few niggles and so far the trader seems ok, I have 6 months warranty too but don't want all this after this short time.
The MPG seems fitting with what i've read, round town and on a run. (25-30 and 35-40)...
Thanks.
