3rd gear

[Stinky Pete]

My 06 A4 2.0 TDI Sline has recently had 3rd gear and 2nd to 3rd synchro rings replaced under warranty.

Is this a common problem?

3rd was ripping as I changed up from 2nd.

I have not heard of it one the 2.0TDI 140's..

I know theres been an issue with the 2.0TDI 170 eating the gearbox for breakfast with the torque!!


EDIT... is it a 140bhp or 170?

Do you tend to drive it hard?? or normal..

Normal driving but I bought the car 1 year old so theres no telling how previous owner drove.

3rd got progressively worse after I collected car and they carried out the above repair to rectify.
