I also own an A6 with exactly the same problems...60,000 miles 3.0 FWD...is that your model?
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

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

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.
