Hi there. Your vehicle is fitted with an electronic automatic transmission and I suggest that before any expensive rebuild work is undertaken on the transmission, especially when you say it drives fine, it that the intermittent electrical problem is resolved. You should firstly have an authorised Dealer check out the fault codes on the transmission ECU – this might identify where the problem is. They will also be able to perform a ‘Stall Test’ and again this will determine the effective operation of the gearbox. Hope this helps, Scottech.

I have a 2001 audi a4.. while driving all my dash gear symbols keep flashing.. also from when put in drive it takes a little to engage and pull of... any ideas pls

First thought: you are low on tranny fluid. There is no dip stick. Only way is:
a) cool car (tranny fluid cold)
b) take drain plug out
c) get fluid hand pump (Autozone)
d) feed fill tube into drain hole
e) pump tranny fluid (check for your car) in until it starts running out.

Officially, tranny fluid should be 43 deg C as shown with VAGcom diagnostic. But I have good results with just room temp car (just not more).

As always: best to find someone with VAGcom (VCDS) and have him run a full diagnostic scan. It will tell you more regarding your problem.

My automatic Audi A4 1.8L does not move at all. I have been told it's the gearbox. I cannot afford to buy a used gearbox, what options do i have?

I suggest you go to the junk yard &get .a used transmission there if your short on money,but you will have to get a new torque converter(about 100 bucks).Install it yourself & you will be able to cut the cost of your repair considerably.Keep posting

Prob's with my Audi A6 2003 Auto 3.0 V6 (gearbox)

Doubt it as the fault suggests you need to look into the range sensor. If similar to Renault there is a switch on the gearbox that senses where the select lever is (at the gearbox end). If the display is wrong then the sensor needs looking at and either it will need to be adjusted into a set position by moving it, or perhaps the connector to it or wiring to/from it have a fault.

Mk1 A4 ABS warning light

I have a 2000 Audi A4 and the break wear sensor warning light come on for me too. It does not flash and is orange in color. I have asked the Audi dealer twice about it and they told me it's because the previous owner put aftermarket break pads on it, thus messing up the sensors. I don't know about the ABS warning and other than that I wish you luck on it.

Fault in Automatic Gearbox and Check Engine Light

If the transmission is still operating ok, you can drive it, but you need to get it checked, since a fault has been detected by the transmission computer.
