    Not sure. Is the tiptronic on quatros only, and multi tronic on the front wheel drive?

    An audi with reverse gear missing ?
    Could this be a job for Edd China ?
    Didn't he do a TT recently that was missing a couple of gears? IIRC the part needed to fix it was just a 50p bolt (and hours of a mechanic of his ability's time!)

    That multitronic box is a pig. Known for frying it's ECU. Think they're about €700 even second hand and you've to drop the gearbox to fit it iirc.

    Ya it was a sheared bolt that was the issue but pulling the gearbox from a tt then splitting the case and coming up with the fix was no small job even if a new bolt was all that was required

    Considering a clean 3 series with a longish nct is a lot cheaper than that, I think you will struggle to get value from it.

    Anyone interested in my Astra?

    17236729052_577d7f7e54_c.jpg

    It's a 2001 Vauxhall Astra
    1.4 16V engine (90hp) runs very good
    174k miles
    5 speed manual gearbox
    Electric windows on front
    AC (may need to be regassed though)

    ECU was replaced about 2 months ago
    New oil and filter
    New brake pads
    Taxed until end of August 2015

    NCT failed on brake pipes and backplates. No problems with emissions, they were under 0.1% at both low and high RPM.

    Open to offers.

    Will take €300. :o

    All 4 good tyres
    Good engine
    Taxed for another 2 months

    I believe the auto Audis can have some gremlins with the auto box. Not a cheap repair if I remember correctly.
    I'd rather just buy one working properly unless you can get it fixed for next to nothing.
    Or.... it could be a simple fix like needing new oil :D

    If only I could get insured on that :rolleyes:

    Wouldn't mind poking around to try and get it sorted, at that price :D

    Exactly. I'm trying to figure out a worst case scenario. How much to recondition the gearbox? A new gearbox?

    [edit] mechanic says up to 4 grand to sort out

    That's about right to be honest. If the light is the only problem it's a pretty good price.

    43226519.jpeg

    needs a rear lens and you have to be handy with the bumper repair - or replace it, should be enough of these about

    as a bonus it has test till August and Tax till Sept.

    They're **** cars, you'd be much better off with an older one.

    850 is not cheap for that either

    Nice summer project if all the parts are indeed there. I'd be pushing for the wheels to be included in the deal though.

    But a super car to have back on the road.
