Hi,
It's been a while,
I know theirs a few people out their which has or had same problems as me with the multitronic gear boxes whilst reversing. From cold start when reversing my car would need about 2500 revs before it even thought about beginning to move, this problem was worse on colder mornings or up a slope. If you own a multitronic you'll know what im talking about.
However, I recently had my car serviced and pointed out to my local Audi dealership my problem. They suggested an oil change on my gearbox as its coming upto 40k miles and apparently this is when they need doing for the first time but costs £176.00!. I said well if it fixes it then go for it.
I picked my car up later that day and saw my bill hadn't risen much, when questioning them they said "they didn't need to change the oil because as software update fixed the problem". Tears of joy where streaming down my face! Now my car reverses with no problems whatsoever and is also more economical, it doesnt seem to rev as much either seems to use more of its torque is that makes sense? Feels like a new car again.
Anyway just thought I'd let people know that's all.
