| Description of the problem | My 2006 audi a3 with dsg transmission sometimes slips when hot while pulling out into traffic from a stop. Also surges in first gear occasionally when hot. I have not taken it in for repairs as they are too expensive. There has been many complaints of this same issue on auto forums. Im going to take it in this week and see what the charge would be to check it out. But im sure its the same problem as all the other audi and vw cars out there with the dsg tranny. Im scared to pull out into traffic and get hit. |
