A6 automatic - problems,problems..
Hello. So.. I own Audi A6 2000 tiptronic with many problems and i'm looking for some help.
1. Really hard twitching when i move gear stick from D to R, P to D...
2. It's not marked on my dashboard in what gear car is ( i hope you know what i mean)
3. Tiptronic doesn't work.
OK, this are the major problems i want to solve first if i can.
Thank you for your help.

Generally the first thing you do is pull the codes using VCDS.
If nothing there, you can drop the xmsn fluid, then the pan and clean it.
If the pan is really filthy with clumps of stuff in it, you might pull the shift solenoids and clean their screens and drop the valve body, split it, and clean the sensor screen inside it.
Put it back together, replace the filter and pan, and refill…there's a specific procedure for filling the trans, there is no dipstick tube to fill it with.

Sounds like the controller or the wiring to it has a problem.
I would look for codes and try to sort out the electrical part before spending the money on a filter and new fluid.
Sloop, given the symptoms, have you seen dirty screens cause these problems.
(P.S. my advice is based on general knowledge, I have not had this problem on my A6)

It would be interesting to know if anyone has retrieved a ZF trans from eth dead just by cleaning, or as ZF says, once you are beyond a normal fluid change, you need to rebuild/replace it.
I know on MBs (Transmission of similar technology to our ZFs), there is an electrical connector that goes bad due to fluid leakage that causes al sorts of odd issues like he describes.

Finally i had time that i went to my friend. So he deleted error codes with Delphi Diagnostic Tool. It's a bit better, now i can see in what gear car is, car is not twitching anymore when i move gear stick, but problem is if i put gear stick to 3 or 2 (4 is working) everything's the same as before (gear not marked,..). Tiptronic still doesn't work.
