    This has me a little stumped, i just finished installing my coilovers, decided to take the car out for a test drive and it will not engage reverse, drive, S, or any of the tiptronic gears. (car is an 07 avant quattro tiptronic). When in reverse or drive i can hear the transmission wirring and if i put it back in park from reverse it will buzz on the parking pawl so i know the trans is spinning but the car will not move. I will say the car spent a day or two tilted on jack stands but i cant imagine that would cause that much of an issue. Prior to all this the car was driving perfect.

    Did one of your axles come out in the process? That will cause the problems you are experiencing

    When I had those exact symptoms on my B5 Quattro, one of my CV joints was broken. All it takes is one axle spinning freely and all the power goes to that wheel - and you go nowhere. Check all the half shafts and be sure each wheel is tied to its differential.
