Hi all,
Well after reading this forum for a couple of months and having another 2000 A6, I just couldn't help myself. My wife picked up #905084 in Boulder, CO on Friday 12/9. I bought the car after being told it had a "slip" in the transmission and assumed it to be the TC.
My wife drove it 500 miles home and had a blast. She called to say it is "the best all around car I've ever driven". No CEL when it got home, and the transmission "slipped" on her a couple of times in Denver.
Needles to say, when she got home I had to drive it. The first time out, after the car was warm, as I accelerated just slightly from say 45-50 the transmission acted like it slipped out of gear for a second and the RPM came up. I still couldn't help myself and drove it fairly hard the second time. The CEL came on and I hate to say it but I was thrilled, hoping it was the TC failure code. Pulled the codes when I got home and there were 7. All were fairly benign (Secondary Air Injector Pump Flow Low, MAF intermittent, A/T Temp Sensor) but no TC failure or incorrect gear ratio codes.
Anyone have any ideas? I don't mind doing the TC, but don't want to replace it and find out that wasn't the problem. Could it be a dirty valve body? Any help would be appreciated. I absolutely love the car and plan on keeping it a long time.
Thanks all
