Thought I would share - A8 1st to 2nd gear lurching forward
2017 50th Anniversary SS. Bought my CPO Camaro in November and put 7500 miles on it. It had 7500 on it when I bought it. A few weeks ago, after my 15000 mile service, it started shifting hard when it was cold, 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd. I read on this forum that this is a common issue with the A8 and people just live with it. My buddy who drives a Camery couldn't wait to blow me crap one day going to lunch, that was the last straw. Still having my warranty I called my local dealer and took it in.
They said that there was a new update for my car and the tech was applying it, this took about an hour. My car has never been better, I can't tell it's shifting and the throttle response is also better. it's like night and day. I smile again when driving it like I did with my 5th gen. If you are having this issue go see you dealer for this update you'll be glad you did. |
