Today after 50km of usual driving I went shopping,but when I came back I got a nasty surprise on the dashboard : gearbox malfunction you can continue driving limited functionality I couldn't start the engine - after starting the ignition it was starting to crank to motor but immediately it was cutting off. The gear lever was stuck in P,I couldn't
move it into another position. There was a clicking multiple sound coming from the gear selector area. Morever, there was a glow plugs warning on the dashboard flashing,as well as the check engine light. Again I stopped the engine. After 30 min I started the car with no problem this time and I was able to drive to the service 100km on highway with absolutely no problems (I left the car there as they are closed today,so I need to wait until Monday).It was an usual,smooth ride,no power loss,no other problems. When the error was present on the dashboard and I was able to put a reverse car
was jerking at the time of going from P to R. When the error was gone that jerk was gone too. Car has 140000 km done,always serviced at the dealer and multitronic oil replaced as it should be. Never had any problems with the car,ride is always smooth,without any difference if it's cold or warm,it holds on the hill strongly. Only thing I sometimes observe is a tiny,tiny jerking when driving on R on a parking. But no big thing,not during the changing between P to R or from D to R.
Could it be,that this is a problem with the gear selector sensor? Or maybe brake pedal sensor ( I had it almost the same in my previous A6 C5 multitronic). Many thanks for help
Just wondering if you ever found a solution to your issue? I'm having a similar problem with my A6. Tiptronic Thanks Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk
Not sure what could it be in tiptronic gearbox,in mine multitronic it was the gearbox controller ecu which I needed to replace for a new one.
Thanks mate. Did Audi diagnose that ? Mine is going in for a service in the next couple of weeks so will ask them to read the fault codes Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk
Yes indeed they did. It was a typical error code. Anyway I replaced the part in a vag-specialist garage,as dealer wanted to charge me 1000 euro more for replacing the same part. I paid about 2000e in total as I remember,1500e for an gearbox ecu and rest for the gearbox oil and garage work. Although in tiptronic it can be something else. Error codes should tell you more

Hi Guys, I have a similar issue. I have my car 2013 A6 all-road 3.0tdi (270 bhp ? ) about 6 months now and had no issue till Saturday. I was took the wrong turn and had to reverse up an incline (first time) and not a very steep one, more gradual. Anyway it was very slow and then I got a gearbox warning light with no fault recognised and also said limited driving.
Eventually i made it up and with in to drive but it would not change out of D1. I switched off the engine and restarted it and all was okay drove home perfectly, didn't try reversing on an incline although it is okay reversing on the flat and in and out of parking spaces. Sorry I don't know if the gearbox is multitronic, tip tronic or s s tronic , Tonight I did a scan and got the following .......

Hi mate. Mine has been to a Audi who couldn't find a fault then to a gearbox specialist who after diagnostic checks and test drive. Also ZF salesperson drove it they couldn't fault it and days it drives really well. I would get yours to a gearbox specialist to read the codes etc. Don't take to Audi as they reset the codes so the gearbox guy couldn't even find them. Good luck Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk
Just an update, I took the car to Audi and they had a specialist techie do a deep scan, after an hour he diagnosed the mactronix. I had it replaced this week and the car is driving perfect since.
Similar symptoms to mine.
2011 A6 S-Tronic 7 Speed 3.0 Quattro (0B5 DL501) 91k on the clock. Gearbox been serviced twice with Audi since new. I was literally driving to my local dealer yesterday for a routine major service... 'Gearbox Malfunction - you can continue driving' . After diagnosis , Audi have recommended I replace the Mechatronic Unit at a cost of £2,500 for the part
alone. This was the first time this has ever flashed up on the dash, and it was Amber, not red. Would it be safe enough to drive the car home, to an independent transmission specialist . The journey is approx 75 miles. Many thanks.

The journey is approx 75 miles. Many thanks. I should probably add, I was around 20 miles from the dealer when this happened, so I continued to drive. I felt the car lost a bit of torque (guessing this
is a safety feature).. But it ran through gears 1-7 perfectly, and reverse.. One thing I did notice was it wouldnt select S Mode by pressing the gear selector downwards as I'd usually do. Any help very much appreciated
I managed to drive 80 miles from when the fault occurred to my house. However the next morning, when cold, it struggled to drive up the recovery truck ramp !

No idea !
Similar symptoms to mine. Even the contact details of
this specialist would be a great help to me... I need some sound advice. Selector Level Sensor Control Unit This is all my Dealership was able to share via email and advised they'd like to discuss the issue in person with a technician..

Just plucked from Google?
Just plucked from Google? Apologies I posted that half sleeping last night. No those are actual images my Audi Dealer sent me.
I'm praying hard it is just water leakage on the wiring - and yeah it would be my dream fix. Fingers crossed! Car going to independent gearbox specialist on Wed. I just can't afford to have Audi do the work.
I agree Audi are stupidly expensive and no better than the Independents.
That actually looks like coolant contamination!
That actually looks like coolant contamination! That's what it is - your right.. So hopefully not a major a job as initially thought. Will know a lot more next week when I get time off work to take car to the specialist..
Just an update, I took the car to Audi and they had a specialist techie do a deep scan, after an hour he diagnosed the mactronix. I had it replaced this week and the car is driving perfect since. Just another update, the original fault is back after vcds scan, grrrrr!
There are three people with similar problems on this one thread!
Turns out my leak of coolant/antifreeze made its way down a wiring harness into my Mechatronic unit. So it's been sent to ECUTESTING.COM to be reconditioned. Will post updates nxt wk when I know more.
Sounds like a good outcome.
Really not sure Micky - I was thinking around the £1k area.. Just guesswork though.
The dreaded codes after Main Dealer repair. The fault seems worse than before they repaired it. I get gearbox malfunction now if driving and the box goes from D2 to D1.

Cant you just take it back to be repaired properly ?
Cant you just take it back to be repaired properly ? Took it back to Audi on Tuesday and they rang me today, I need a new gearbox.
Bull**** Mate.
Bull**** Mate. No, that's what they said.
Second hand then or 7k +
I got my car back two nights ago, I've done around 100 miles since, with no issues. So repair of my
wiring harnesses, new coolant pump and lots of lovely new gear oil and I'm back on the road a very happy man!

I'll bet you've ****** QuattroV6tdi off ? Are you a bit simple?
You sound a bit ****** off !
You sound a bit ****** off ! Not at all, only an idiot would suggest that a user here would be ****** off at the fact that a fellow forum user got their car sorted. Can you drive with a gearbox malfunction?You can continue driving at moderate speed. You can resume normal driving if the indicator lamp goes out. If a gearbox malfunction has occurred due to overheating, this message will appear once the gearbox has cooled down again.
What does transmission malfunction mean?Transmission failure is the complete loss of transmission performance. Transmission failure can be caused by slipping, symptomatic noises, lack of fluid due to leaks, overheating, or outside factors that affect the transmission.
Do Audi have transmission problems?Audi transmissions fitted to cars manufactured after mid-1995 are highly technical in operation. These transmissions can exhibit a number of typical auto trans problems. Sometimes these Audi transmissions may have electronic faults rather than requiring a mechanical overhaul.
