…although I don't think it is the box itself.
Anyone familiar with the operation of the Audi gearbox?
Little background, probably coincidence, however; I put it in for a rear wheel bearing (the second one) and on collection was advised they had broken the ABS sensor…no great deal, these things happen. I took it home to go back a couple of days later when the sensor was in. Now, I was amazed at the warning lights on the dash due to an ABS sensor, apparently the on board computer runs checks and if a fault is found it can affect other functions. Anyway, some made sense, from no cruise control through a light issue, to TPMS faults and no ABS there were a few. I had no trouble once the new one was fitted…until yesterday (actually there was a noise ).
Jumped in, selected drive and nothing, the only fault showing was tyre pressure monitoring system. I eventually switched off and tried again and it was okay for the rest of the day. Unfortunately it did it again today, with reverse. I wasn't;t in the car so don't know what lights illuminated.
I have no idea if the sensor is linked in any way to whether it selects drive or whether the ABS sensor is irrelevant.
Can anyone point me at what may be preventing the box selecting gear (I'm sure it's electrical rather than a mechanical issue in the box)?
Anyone had similar?
TIA
