Hello everyone,

First of all, let me clarify that I don't drive a diesel; I have an A6 C4 2.8E automatic. I would be very grateful if you could still help me.

Here's the translation:

"Also, one more thing: I'm not tech-savvy and can't perform the recommended steps myself. What I need is your expertise, or how I can find someone who has the knowledge to help me solve my problem."

If you find my requests unwelcome here, please let me know.

Subject:
"I was experiencing shifting problems with the automatic transmission (generally rough shifting and a kind of "slippage" when shifting from 3rd to 4th gear at half throttle between 50 and 60 km/h - and only then). The automatic transmission was rebuilt, and the mass airflow sensor (MAF) was replaced. The problem still persists."

"The mechanic's diagnosis: faulty control unit. During a road test, the data display on a VAG 5751 (I believe) remained frozen for 3-8 seconds when accelerating, and then sometimes the display would reappear, while other times it would show an error message regarding a faulty data connection. However, the engine control unit (ECU) itself could be observed without errors."

Then, in the manual's appendix, I read that the transmission has 4 programs: an economy program, a sport program, a replacement program, and an emergency program. It states that the replacement program is characterized by more aggressive shifting.

Questions:
1. How can I determine (or have determined) whether my transmission has these programs?
2. How can I determine which program is currently running?
3. How can I determine (or have determined) whether the starter generator has a fault (even if the error memory is clear)?
4. Can the graphics card be repaired? (A new one costs a hefty €750 and is not available for exchange.)
5. Does anyone have a suggestion or a different idea on how I can approach this problem?

Vehicle: Audi A6 C4 2.8 automatic, manufactured in May 1995.
Transmission: AG4 from ZF with control unit 4A0 927 156 AE.

Okay, I've rambled on for quite a while now - but thank you for reading and, if possible, for helping out.

Thank you very much.

Greetings from the edge of the Ruhr area.
Joachim.

Nachdem aus diesem Forum auch nicht der kleinste Hinweis kam, hab ich selbst recherchiert und einen Weg gefunden: Nach einem Reset der gesamten Elektronik (dafür gibt es einen Prozess) hat sich alles wieder gefunden; das Durchrutschen ist weg.

Nochmals vielen Dank für das umfangreiche Feedback.

Dein Problem war halt etwas ziemlich exotisches.

Wenn hier jemand etwas zu einem Prob weiß, dann schreibt er es im allgemeinen auch.

Trotzdem danke für Deine Beschreibung der Lösung.

Guten Tag,

ich suche gerade nach Ursachen meines Problems mit der Automatikgetriebe. Dein Problem
ist ähnlich wie bei mir.

Wo kann man die ganze Elektronik resetten?

Motordaten werde ich noch im Audi nachsehen.

LG Thomas
