Hi there, We have a 2004 A4 1.8 Sport Auto convertible. We had auto trouble when we bought it 12 months ago: "mixed" by fitting a new electronic thingie in the auto box. Basically, it was like having clutch slip in a manual box. The same thing seems to be back, but more worrying is that the whole car vibrates when under load. I took it back to the VW/Audi specialists to put on their diagnostics but they couldn't find any issues. All they said was "the gear box is worn out and it needs a new one".

Does that sound right????

The car has done 103k miles.
