Newb in need of help...

[Louang]

I recently picked up a automatic 1999 a6 Quattro 2.8 with a "bad transmission". Reverse works great, but when in any forward gear the car will creep forward about a foot when giving it gas then won't move any further.

Jacked the car up and put it in drive and only the rear wheels spun and then I gave it gas and all four were rotating. (If that matters)

All gears on the dash light up individually when selected.

When I opened up the fill hole on the transmisson about a liter of transmission fluid came out of the fill hole. (Car was level) no metal shavings or chunks were present. The transmission fluid that came out was dark red?

when I try to scan the car with a obd2 scanner it says "waiting for vehicle to respond and then times out?

Also sometimes when I start the car it will die right away unless I give it gas?

Oh and the brake light is flashing and the abs light is on.

Sorry I do not know too much about cars. All or any help is appreciated.


Thanks.

Try CV axels in the front

I had the same problem with my 1.8 but I have a manual. So I replaced my trans because I did the axels and that was not the problem. Now it's great no problems and I only spent 150 for a 2.8 trans with 80k. So I'm saying that it's your transmission. Replace it. Also how many miles?
