It appears that after a mere 67k miles the auto box has gone pop on my bamhaa. Apparently there's a valve in the box which cracks and then the oil pressure drops and the clutch plates cook. My 3rd gear now slips pretty bad so it's a box rebuild cost 2000 quid this for a complete overhaul with up-rated parts. Anybody thinking of buying an auto Alhambra or any vag car where the engine is transverse have a good long hard look of the box. The slip is worse when cold so if the car is warm when you get there be suspicious. Drive it very gently too if it takes an age to change gear at very small amount of throttle Once again be wary. Good news is later box's already have the up rated parts in them another piece of useless info is the same box is fitted in the Ford mondeo as well as the galaxy
