THANKS FOR THE SUGGESTIONS, I HAVE HAD THE OIL CHANGED AT AN AUDI SPECIALIST WHO HAS USED THE CORRECT VAG GEARBOX OIL. THE SPECIALIST SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE GEARBOX GENERALLY (NO EVIDENCE OF DAMAGE)

I WOULD SAY THAT THERE HAS BEEN A 50% IMPROVEMENT ON THE HARSH DOWN SHIFT SINCE THE SERVICE.

HOWEVER THERE IS STILL A JUDDER JUST AFTER DOWNSHIFTING AT LOW TO MEDIUM SPEEDS. COULD THIS BE A FLYWHEEL JUDDER?? (MY SUBARU IMPREZA HAD A JUDDER WHICH WAS SOLVED BY A FLYWHEEL SKIM)

THERE ALSO SEEMS TO BE HESITATION SOMETIMES WHEN DRIVING AT 30-40 MPH. IT'S LIKE THE CAR CANT DECIDE WHETHER ITS IN THE CORRECT GEAR.... THE REVS RISE AND FALL SLIGHTLY ON THEIR OWN ITS NOT A MAJOR PROBLEM BUT VERY IRRITATING FOR SUCH A BEAUTIFUL CAR GENERALLY ......ANY IDEAS????? .

PS THE LAST TIME I WENT TO THE AUDI DEALER (FOR A SPARE KEY) THEY SAID IT WAS SHOWING A FAULT ON THE AIR MASS METER...COULD THIS BE CAUSING THE ABOVE???

IF ANYONE HAS ANY THOUGHTS PLEASE LET ME KNOW BECAUSE IM STARTING TO REGRET PARTING WITH MY OLD E55 AS I THOUGHT I WAS BUYING A MUCH SMOOTHER CAR.

THANKS IN ADVANCE
