It's a mecatron ...short circted and stoped working leading to stop in oil cooling /pump and overall overheating transmission .

Audi knows that that this is a reacurring issue and there are hundreds of mecatron malfunctioning around the world and I don't see no recalls.

the cost was a full replacement of the transmission S6 c7 , ZF DSG 7 speed.

Now it is a fact that ZF Friedrichshafen AG makes the worst unreliable transmissions for Audis and that's no surprise there is a Lawsuit Investigation into Audi Transmission Problems that affect models 2010-2014 Audi S4, 2010-2014 Audi S5, 2010-2014 Audi S6, 2010-2014 Audi S7, 2010-2014 Audi RS5
My car has only 75,000 km and i did the transmission service on 40,000km with Audi dealer and no one is showing any responsibility either Audi or VW.

One fact for sure, these cars are like new smartphones they have a targeted planned life span when it reaches the 4-5 year it is meant to snap and fail.

As a result, i need to change a new DSG MECHATRONIC UNIT, S TRONIC and of course a set of clutches new oil new filters and lots of labor hours and new oil.... unfortunately i have decided to replace the gear with a 2nd hand 11k on it and sell the car and go to a different brand.

The Audi DSG S TRONIC 7 speed DL501 (0B5) transmission was designed by BorgWarner and is licensed to the Volkswagen Group. It is NOT a ZF transmission

The ZF Friedrichshafen 8HP transmission is an 8 speed transmission used in many Audi vehicles, including the RS7, but NOT the S6/S7. The ZF transmission is very reliable.

with Dual Clutch always has that bad feeling that their transmission will not last a100k miles, and i was one of them.. never the less my driving habit was considered normal condition with low mileage and it didn't last 80k km.
and decided to dysfunction!
