Hi,

My Multitronic (CVT) transmission started to jerk when accelerating
(noticeable in cold temperatures below -10 celcius). Audi service told that
the problem is in hydraulic control unit (valve box) which needs to be
replaced. Total cost is 2500 ?. My car has 70.000 km.

Any similar cases?

The funniest part here is that their diagnosis is based on test drive only.
The said 2002 model Multitronic does not have any diagnostic information in
its control unit, and it is available from model 2003. There was no fault
codes. Any body aware of this?

I am trying to get somebody (manufaturer) to pay at least part of the costs.
So this is the so called "Audi quality"...:) I would expect transmission
lasts bit longer.

Regards, Sami

Sami,
I'd try to source a used box before springing for something like that -
possibly getting one from 2003 (if it would bolt up) so that you could get
the diagnostic option (you'd probably need the control box and associated
wiring harness).
Just a thought.
Cheers!
