#1 of 13 Known issues with the A6 CVT Transmission ? by texasrider Jun 03, 2008 (2:55 pm)
I currently own a 2003 Audi A6 "CVT", which I love but I've been having some intermittent issues with what I can only describe as transmission issues.   It happens here and there but when accelerating, mostly from a stop my car will periodically, jerk as if it's slipping a gear or something ???   The dealer has already told me, while they cannot figure out the problem, that on average they replace more CVT transmissions than others.   Does anyone have ANY insight into this as an experience and/or a known issue ?   My car is well maintained (oil changes, maint., etc) by the book   Please advise.   TYTYTYTY.

I just got back from the dealer and they tried to update the trans computer but it did not work for me...try that first Let me know what you discover if we have the same model Thanks Replies to this message: maclj (Jun 11, 2008 9:58 am) ascalla (Sep 09, 2009 9:44 am)

Replying to: william29 (Jun 04, 2008 6:19 pm) Sorry about your luck - I am now on my fourth transmission, and it is starting again. Dealer has been helpful, Audi has not. I am so fed up with Audi. A6 3.0 Replies to this message: ascalla (Sep 09, 2009 9:44 am)

Replying to: texasrider (Jun 03, 2008 2:55 pm) Audi's Quattro and tip is very reliable.   CVT is another ballgame. Lots of quirks with this tranny. CVT does not have a torque convertor. It feels a bit weird off the line and people complain about the lag and jerky nature of the starts. Very smooth on the highway, but stop and go is irritating to some.   I would never own a CVT out of warranty or Audi Certified. Replies to this message: sixdays (Mar 28, 2009 6:06 am)
