audi extendard warrntie refuse claim for new gearbox

- Start date
my advice....Do not sweat so much if it's working okay now.
Find out if Audi carried out an adaptation / reset of the box.
If not find a local person with VCDS who'll be able to it.
BTW.. Gearbox and Haldex should be done at 40k miles.

hi again i haven't picked car up from audi i refuse todo so i meant the gearbox its self seemed fine b4 i put it into audi apart from the delay going into reverse our drive our sometimes it wudnt go into reverse there was no banging our load clunks cumin from the box when the car is in drive every gear works fine changes down fine to me it seems electric sum think electrical in the box not the actual cogs in there wats cause in the problem i think they r just sayin it needs a full gearbox replacement cos they are trying best not to pay out for the box cause this service at 40k not being done i think its more mehtronic unit and they don't wanna say that cos they will have to replace it so they saying its other things in there related to oil wats cause in it so they can blame no oil change on time an try take easy way out av read about these gearboxes getting a automatic 10 year warrentie our a 100k in other countries apart from uk so they are aware of these box's failing so under no circumstances they should be willing to offer goodwill for ppl who av actuality had everything serviced an things my not been on time but still done an worked well for 4k miles after the service
i'm sure that you're stressed about your car and what not but some punctuation and paragraphs wouldn't go amiss...
as said previously if it is working ok now then don't worry too much but get the gearbox oil and filter changed and maybe the adaption thingy mentioned above.
