Hi guys,
Wonder if you can help. I bought my wife an AUDI A4 2.0 TDi automatic diesel on Saturday. Everything was fine driving from the Audi used car centre on Saturday from Stafford to London. Oh, its done 32,300 on the clock with full ASH.
Anyway yesterday I had just got onto the M11 at 60 mph then decided to speed up to 70 mph. So I bought my foot on the accelerated and noticed the rev count jump quickly from 2000 rpm to 3000 rpm. At the same time the car failed to accelerate. I tried taking the foot off the pedal and pressing the pedal again. Still no gear change and increase in speed.
At this point I thought maybe the engine was going to over-rev so I pulled over onto the hard shoulder and switched the engine off. When I re-started a slight gradient was fine was going up through gears to 70 mph and staying on the usual 2000 rpm.
I have spoken to the Audi sales bloke and he thinks this is normal. Personally I disagree having driven E-Class automatics and a previous Rover 620 automatic. Can anyone provide me with some knowledge on this. I have booked it into Audi to get checked in the meantime.
Cheers
Nick
