Mmm this is indeed interesting, I was thinking about buying a CVT Audi I think Multitronic is the correct description (why do americans have to invent an acronim for europian technology) but this is disappointing. So can I conclude that this is a flawed design and are ther more broken ones than not broken ones and that the not broken ones will eventually be broken long before the engine wears out. I have a tiptronic A6 and that is giving me an uncomfortable feeling like something is going to break soon feeling about the car that i cant quite put my finger on and this thread confirms my suspicion that engine technology has progressed much more than gearbox technology in the audi world. I'll put the word out that multi, tip and auto audis are to be avoided if you want to avoid serious ownership bills.
Anyone want a tip A6 avant that still works (today)? - me i'll go back to clutches next time - unless its Jap of course.
