    Hi All,

    Hopefully I'm putting this information in the right place; I'm a newbie.

    Four months ago I purchased a Audi A7 Quattro 2012 plate with 45,000. Two weeks ago, I had a warning come up, Gearbox Malfunction, you can continue to drive. Shortly after that I has Stability Malfunction warning come up. So I booked it into a garage, unfortunately for me, I was working in London and live in Leicester, but bear in mind it said I could continue to drive.... so I did. I didn't get very far, before the warnings reappear, along with; headlight alignment malfunction, TPMS Malfunction, My air con stopped working, my doors unlocked themselves, my air bag warning light came on, engine management and finally (as I was pulling into the services) the hand brake came on.

    All of these issues have been diagnosed as caused by an oil leak from the gearbox, which has apparently pushed the oil up into the metatronics ? of the car and through the wiring loom.

    The damage to the vehicle is into the thousands, and even then I'm told that might not be the end of it, because until they can get the cam communications back up and running they cannot be certain it doesn't have more issues and they don't know yet, how far the oil has spread through the electrics.

    I'm told my car is one of the first to have this issue, I know, lucky me, hey. I just wanted to share this with you so if anyone else has a problem they have a reference point.

    Hi, the car was repaired by the dealer I purchased it from in the end. They were in middlesborough. However the gearbox had a second issue a year later and needed more work which apparently is a common issue - I used a gearbox specialist in Nottingham I think it was poulton drive.,
