Hi all been a few years since I was active in here, sold the audis and moved around the world to Australia, basically started again, ran a few Aussie bangers but now got back to good old audis, well, the missus has.
Alwqys been a manual man myself but after moving to a country where autos are the norm (and the driving standard is abysmal) the other half is now an auto lover which means we now have 2003 A4 auto, containing the work of the devil CVT gearbox. I've never really thought dragging chains (or belts) round variable cones has ever sounded like a plausible way to get power from an engine to the wheels and it seems even Audi gave up on it in the end. However it isn't the mechanics that are the issue with these boxes, more the module that controls them which sits inside the box soaked in oil........
anyway, having removed the module in the hope of fixing it myself I'd like to know if anyone here knows how to get the damned thing open? A little worried about damaging the internal components .....
cheers-Steve
