My A4 3.0 Multitronic '04 model (non quattro) had its gear box changed at 86, 416km. At 110,040km I started having problems but I am not sure if it's the gearbox or something else. When the car is cold everything is fine but after 100kms or so (or even 20km if driving fast) it feels like the gears are slipping when changing. When changed to triptronic one can overcome the problem for a while but the problem would become more pronounced with the distance (even on triptronic). Ultimately the car loses power and it struggles to change gears. At it's worst (with more distance travelled) it crawls but ultimately cant move and the engine cuts itself off. The engine can be started and the crawling continues. If however the car is left to cool off until the next day, the story starts all over again; you can drive fast for 20kms (or so) and the problem sets in. Been to the dealer but nothing shows on the diagnostic machine. Anyone with a similar experience or solution? The gear box oil was changed and the problem still persists.
Would be grateful for your suggestions......
