Hi everyone, I have a 1997 A4 1.8 Auto, I have only had it a few months but recently have noticed that the car does not all ways change gear when it should, for e.g with normal driving around town it changes at say 2.5k revs but sometimes it does not change until 4k revs even when driving slowly it just refuses to change gear, and when it does finally change gear it jerks, it can be very annoying as the revs are screaming but it will just not change when it should.
It had water leak from the bulk head which resulted in the gearbox control unit getting wet, I have dried it out all though the inside seemed to be dry any way just the outer casing was really wet.
Do I just need a replacement control unit or is it the gearbox itself?
Any help would really be appreciated, also the MPG seems to be really high, I only get approx 17mpg around town and I do not drive it hard at all, is this right?
