I have the same symptoms in my Allroad, with 74000 miles. Begins in 2nd gear even from a stop, and is very reluctant to downshift. Had it at a mechanic I trust (although not an Audi specialist) who said that it had full trans fluid, and seemed mechanically fine, probably needed a solenoid or maybe reprogram.
The car shifts fine in manu-matic by the way
The dealership said that the problem is internal, and will require that they order a factory rebuild. Parts and labor will be $6300 +tax.
Who would you believe?
