Low trans fluid
How would I go about checking my transmission fluid level on an '18 A8? Took the car out tonight and it is slipping like no other.
Back story - car ran over a curb and leaked trans fluid out via the trans cooler. Unsure of the extent of the damage of the curb hit. Body shop replaced everything that was damaged (radiator, condenser, trans cooler, body parts) and made her pretty, but she is not doing well when I get on it. Should I just trailer it back to my dealership to get a diagnostic? Definitely not worth driving if I will cause more damage.

Here's a good video on how to check it if you want to do it yourself.
Safest bet though would probably be to trailer it and get it checked out there.

Any dealer is supposed to do it, even under warranty.

Had the car checked out and it turns out the fluid isn't low. Thinking this will be my excuse to get a torque converter. I yearn for the day that I can make a full pass in my car.
