Audi A6 tiptronic g/box ZF can't find filler or level plugs, Lost all drive, have had car 2weeks & I'm sick

Answer 1

Sorry to hear of your problem have you any warning lights on?A car of this class should be under warranty of some sort.Would doubt if its the gear box far more likley to be a sheared drive shaft.Mick UK

Answer 2

A tiptronic gearbox is sealed; there should never be a need to top up the oil, that isn't your problem anyway. This type of box uses electrical actuators to change gear; the problem may be here they are known to blow fuses? Have you tried going into the tiptronic "shift gate" (shift up, shift down [almost manual])? What happens then?
The fact that you've lost drive doesn't automatically mean its the gearbox, in fact it probably isn't.

Answer 3

The filler is the gearbox dip stick , when you buy new fluid it has a long plastic spout so that you can fill it without spilling it , dont forget to check lever when hot

Answer 4

doubt if its lack of oil ..i think you would have heard the rumblings coming out of the box before now..it could be a sensor ..it could even be a broken drive shaft or final drive if your in the AA they will come out to you if you have home start these guys ain't daft and will easy find it

Answer 5

It could just be an electronic problem, disconnect the battery and (this will re-set all the computers) then try is again.

Propably not fluid unless it has leaks.

Answer 6

Why don't you ask Audi customer service, that's what they are there for! Or take it to your local Audi retailer and get it fixed under warranty....

Answer 7

some audi and vw you cant check the oil yourself it is done buy the dealer.
someone i know had a vr6 and it had to goto vw to have the oil checked in the autobox.
