I got the dreaded gearbox malfunction warning twice in the last ten days. I took my car to my local dealer for a look. My car is now out of the basic 80,000 km and now into the second 40,000 km extended with a minor deductible. The warning light came and went. No issues with the tranny seems to be working fine. My service rep. said not to worry unless the light remains on. My GTI with now 212,000 km with DSG has been flawless. It might be time to get rid of this S4 while it still has some value and under warranty. I fear a tranny replacement in the near future and with my luck after my extended warranty passes.

I haven't experienced the bucking when slowing to a stop issue. However, I've noticed that if I put the car into dynamic and do a full throttle pass of another car(s), that on occasion, right after I lift off the throttle, I feel and hear a sort of banging sound from the rear of the car (kind of like something is decoupling) - rather hard to describe. It seems to be less of an issue if I ease off the throttle more slowly instead of just taking my foot completely off the throttle. I think it's an issue that others have written about as well. Didn't mean to take this thread too far off topic ...

Sure enough the problem is still there and it seems to be getting worse the longer I'm in traffic. It also seems as if heat is the issue because when the car is cold it shifts like a champ.
I'm just tired of running back to the dealer and pretty much predicting what they will tell me when I get it back. Sounds something like "The tech took it on a road test and it did not reproduce the same issue that was in question". All they are doing is resetting what was reset last time and performing clutch adaptations. I really don't think it's a software issue, it's 100% a hardware issue.

I read over in the A3 forum that an owner had this identical problem. They replaced the TCM and problem was gone.

I have only had the jerky bucking issue frrm a stop. its rare that I have it but I do have it and it drives me nuts. I am thinkibg of starting a thread about this issue only. Maybe we can get some answers

OP was the issue ever solved? After having the carbon buildup cleaned, I found my car started jerking. It's only in traffic when crawling to a stop. Since my car shows the gears, I know its when she drops into 1st gear. Truth is... it shouldn't drop into 1st at all it shouldn't even be in gear.

I have a VAG and been debating trying to reset my DGS on my own. Haven't seen anyone do it on the b8 s4.

Hello all,
Has anyone reset the DSG adaptation? My issue only started after I had a service on my car. (carbon buildup cleaning)

I have some spare time for once tomorrow and would like to reset it.

Thanks

Mine was never fixed. My S4 had a slew of issues, including a B&O sound system tha kicked off now and then (which the Audi shop could never fix), the A/C lost some ability to blow cool air and my rear diff leaking twice. I fought hard into getting AoA to buy back my S4 through the FL Lemon law (I didn't need an attorney to do this) which fortunately they did because of the issues. Funny thing is on the morning of the buy back appt, I pulled the S4 out and once again I saw the same rear diff leak! I am glad I got rid of the car. I missed it over an 18 month stretch because it really did drive nice when it was working properly but I made lemonaid out of lemon (pun intended) when I used AoA's buy back money 18 months later to get into an R8.

2008 Audi S4 Carrio - Transmission jumps when coming to a stop. Oddly enough I have confirmed this only happens when my air conditioning is on, (It does not happen when my air conditioner is off) ! Does anyone have any thoughts on this problem and suggestions for resolving ?
