Audi Multitronic Transmission Repair

[Shernon Damien]

Hi Everybody,

This is the first time im posting on AutoLanka. I have a 2003 Audi A4 with a Multitronic (Automatic Tiptronic) Transmission. I believe its a CVT Transmission. Im currently having rough shifting issues in to first gear. Specially when taking off from a stop stand still position. it jerks and hard shifts in to drive. need to get it repaired. Im thinking may be the friction plates are worn out. is there anyone who specializes in Audi transmission repairs. who will have the rebuild kit (if Required) in stock. Ive changed the transmission oil twice. Car has a mileage of 180000km. 1.8t engine. I also should mention that once the initial hard shift to drive is complete the transmission runs smoothly.

Appreciate your help.

When you changed the oil, did you change the filter? Supra Natural knows a guy who used to fix his Passat, which I beleive share the same innards as the Audi. PM him and see.

Hi VVTi. no i did not change the filter because this particular transmission doesnt have a pan in the bottom. The transmission needs to be stripped to change the filter. Thanks for the info .I will PM Supra Natural. you are correct the Passat and the Audi are almost identical.

Machang, there should be a filter. I had a E36 323i with a ZF gearbox and I had Prestige flush and clean teh filter when the changes started going crazy. The filter in this is similar to what I cleaned. Check your Tranny ID plate and see what the gearbox is. From what I remember, A green tag on a ZF means lifetime oil which you can get from the agent, a black Tag means any generic Dexron 3 or 4.

mine is a A4 B6 model. yes there is a filter inside however there is no pan to remove. in order to change it I need to strip the tranny. the below link will show the bottom of my tranny.

Wow, that's interesting. Fresh out of ideas then.

That guy's name is Ruwan. He is the local VW/Audi independent mechanic. Try him.
