I'm confused. Is this a manual or automatic transmission you are describing here?

If the fluid level is low, you might experience slippage.

I have a couple of other questions if you dont mind. I guess I did not recieve a manual with the car when I purchased it. I cant figure out how to set the analog clock on the dash board. And also I cant figure out how to make the yellow circle indicator on the cnter of the guage console turn off. The guy told me that he replaced the brake pads but it still remains on. Also every time I Push the brake pad down I here a noise by the automatic shifter stick, it sounds like something is hitting in there. And finally Every time I start the car there are uumbers that blink and say in ..2 miles right below where it says the total miles on the car it blinks a couple of times and then when I push the break it turns off. Is there a way to clear some of these things up

Also do you think it might be possible that maybe the trans fluid and the filter need to be changed I dont when the last time it was changed. Is there a way of testing the fluid or a certain color that it should be. All that I know is that the Hydrolic fluid for these cars is $25 each quart SHIT.

Yeah you need an owner's manual all right. It might take weeks to google this kind of thing, but only one click to buy a manual!
did your (ahem) mechanic replace the brake pad wear sensors? If not, he owes you.
You might try: www.helminc.com
or
eBay

To adjust your clock there should be a knob on the left side of the dash (just like the one to reset the trip odo. but on the left) Push in and twist clockwise the clock should start to adjust. As for the brake pad warning light, I believe you need to buy pads that are compatible with the sensor. Google brake pad warning light and you should be able to find a way to reset this light. I think you again use the two knobs on the dash. Good luck.

 I only get cold air from my heater. Replaced the AC module and am in the process of replacing the heater control valve. Does the system have to be bled? Any way to test the vacuum used to control the valve? Any suggestions would be great. Its starting to get cold and I need to solve this problem.

hi I have a 1996 A6 that has 130000 miles on it. A couple of days ago On a cold moarning I started the car up and it began to shake. I checked under the hood and observed the engine shaking. I drove it for a couple of days like that then the Check engine light came on. I had it hooked uop to a computer. They said that cylinder # 2
was miss firing . About an hour after that I was driving the car car and it just stopped shaking and the car was running fine. The engine light then shut off later on that day. Maybe I just need a tune up I have no Idea when the last one was done because I just bought the car from a used car dealer and they said that the car has had 2 previous owners. Is there anyone that has had the same problems as me or know what the problem might be ?

Hi do you have aluminum alloy wheels, I just replaced my old tires that were on my car because my car was shaking like the tires were not ballanced. So I purchased new tires but the car still shakes a little bit in the steering wheel but more in the gas pedal. What is skaking the most on you car ? I have a very good mechanic that is very informational on the Audi's
