Hi all,

I have a 2.4 v6 1997 A4 with an auto, tiptronic box, which has developed a clunking / knocking noise when I pull away in 1st. If I accelerate gently it hardly does it, if I pull away hard it feels like the box is going to fall out the car!

I have a feeling this is going to be expensive to have put right, any ideas what it may be anybody?

Cheers, fred

Low ATF? Has it ever ben changed...I know Audi say it's "fill for life"......but Ijust had mine done at 80K (twice what a multitronic would be) as a customer request......had no faults as such just wanted to be sure....even had a sample taken and tested at a lab.....no surprise it came back as being very dirty, high levels of contaminants from plates etc.... There are some real nasty pics and info here http://www.audipages.com/Tech_Articles/auto_transmission/autotranservicing.html
