Well on to the brighter side of my 1 hour drive to and back from naperville, IL today. I had a tech drive with me today and luckily I was able to duplicate the problem with the rev's dropping/sticking when shifting at low rps. For my car this is only an issue thru gears 1-4. He was not sure exactly what was causing the problem but agreed with me that it is not normal. He said that he would talk to his head foreman and see what he says. Well I couldn't wait another day without her so i decided to bring her home. Oh and my constellation prize for the trip was that the porter broke my gps window mount because he just ripped it off the window or the rental without thinking. Good thing is, that they will replace it. Just gotta send em a copy of the receipt of the new one I buy. All in all it wasnt so bad. The dealership I frequent is Continental Audi of Naperville. Their customer service has always been up most best everytime I have had to go there. I have nothing bad to say about them and would recommend anybody who wants to do warranty work to go to them. The Service person that helped me out was Shanan, and she was very helpful. Hopefully they will figure out what the issue is and I can pass it on to you guys. Wish me luck! :)
My condolences for your car woes. I hope the service staff's helpfulness was enough consolation. I guess the stars weren't aligned in your favor. Then again, I try not to put any significance in a constellation.
In all seriousness, though, I hope you don't have a real leak that they misses. Keep us posted on the rev-drop issue. I hope your dealership has heard of that before.
