Auto Box

[Scotty]

I know the S-tronic box in my Audi and the DSG box I had in my Scirroco were serviceable at certain mileage points.

There must be a selector option with the markings on the right.

The car pictured on page 11 of the current range brochure has one. Or is that a one off?

I know what you mean by driving it like you stole it. If I did that my hesitation/partial stall didn't happen even in the cold. Drive it conservatively and it played up!

So no dipstick for auto fluid, how do you check the level ?

[Scotty]

The only draw back was the diesel consumption!!! I remember someone else saying the same to me when I had my issues! It was definitely a software issue in mine but put your foot to the floor and all was well. Never had one limp mode or light flash on mine though.

[Scotty]

If it's working I'd say don't get it done. Mines was great before the update which buggered it up!

BMW I had was "sealed for life" still had a dipstick and it became recommended to replace oil at a

certain mileage

BMWs have dipsticks for drivers.



? I'm a Bmw driver.

It definitely isn't an 11 plate Black SRi is it. Sounds awfully like mine!! Good luck.

[Scotty]

Unfortunately I traded mine in as I couldn't take it anymore. I hope it's the end of the saga for you. It's a nightmare when you know something is wrong but they never witness it. Good luck buddy. Report back and keep driving it like you stole it.

[Scotty]

No worries. I really hope it stays away for you. They are fantastic cars when going well. Keep us posted if you have any further developments.

[Scotty]

Glad you got it sorted, buddy. Albeit a very costly one. That's one thing they never checked on mine but my kick-down was never a problem. Did VX not offer to assist with the expense? Or that's a stupid question? At least you got it sorted and you/wife can happily drive the car. When the auto is working it is a decent box, not as refined as many but good all the same.

[Scotty]

Sorry to hear about you splitting. Not a nice situation. All the best and I'll watch out for your VX line. :-)

I'm pretty sure I remember reading about it in my manual!

Although having had a look I can't now see it so maybe I've just read it on here before.
