A3 4-cyl

  • 65,000 miles
I was driving and the car wouldn't shift into 3rd gear so I was holding up traffic and struggled to get the car back home. I was told by dealer today I had two bad coils and the megatronic which controlled the transmission was going out. I heard 2006 models had a recall on the megatronic but not 2007. I cant believe I need to spend $2500 on anew megatronic for a car that has less than 70K miles and I spent 4290 today for diagnostic, plugs, and coils. The previous 2002 Audi A4 I had the same problem with the coils but they eventually issued the campaign and reimbursed me for the coils.
