Hi everyone
Not very mechanical newbie here with a query, please bear with me!
I have been offered a '95 auto Audi A4 1.8 SE which has not been used for 4 years. It was running perfectly until the gears suddenly stopped working, no noise, just came to a halt? Today I charged the battery, she started immediately and sounds lovely, will move in reverse but no other gear.
I wonder if anyone has had a similar problem and if the above gives any clues as to whether this could mean a new gearbox, or could it be a minor problem (I'm hoping, ha ha). The bodywork is amazing for the year and I have started to become attached already! As she is an automatic, am I right in thinking she can't be towed?
I would be very grateful for any advice.
Cheers
Linda
