Due to a production fault, over time a crack in the transmissions pressure accumulator can occur. Some vehicles were incorrectly assessed as not needing to be repaired.
If the pressure accumulator cracks, oil and pressure is lost in the hydraulic system of the gearbox. As a result, the transmission of engine power via the gearbox is interrupted. The experience of this symptom would be comparable to depressing the clutch in a vehicle fitted with a manual transmission.
Audi Australia Pty Ltd is contacting all known owners of affected vehicles. Consumers should contact their nearest Audi dealer to arrange for inspection and repair.
For further information, contact the Audi Australia 24-hour toll free number 1800 50 AUDI (2834).
