It had the common Audi problem, leaking seal between trans and differential. The leakage was fixed by Toyota dealer for free (three months warranty). After seal fixing the trans got a squery noise at the flywheel end. The noise is like a loose old alternator belt (it isnīt). The noise appears after about 7 miles drive. It is on every gear even on R, N or P and it varies after motor RPM. II The dealer took the car back. They put in new parts: torgue conventor, oil pump etc. it took about a month. III I got the car back but the noise was still there.The workshop boss and I were very desperate. He told me to drive about 2 weeks to see what will happen. They are too proud to put in a factory fixed trans and now they are trying to fix it third time. I hope that somebody can give a hint what to do. The Toyota mechanics seems to be out. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------- Hi Juha, Keep bringing it back to them unless you want to pay to have an Audi dealer replace/fix it! I had a similar problem with my Caprice - I had a rebuilt transmission put in by a non-Chevy mechanic, who offered a year long warranty with no mileage requirement, and it broke down at least 9 times after I had driven that tranny about 10 months. I kept taking it back and soon they kept referring to my car as the "car from hell" - but I eventually got a new transmission put in! Persistence sometimes pays off. I probably wouldn't drive it in that condition - you could take it to an Audi dealer to test drive and give you an estimate (but they would probably charge you for that in Finland!) Try leaving the car there, and visiting them twice a day, if you have the time... Good luck! Dorab (Nivi@aol.com) 1993 S4, 41Kmi 1990 Coupe Quattro, 67Kmi 1986 Chevy Caprice, 300K+mi
