1995 A6 Questions from Cat

[Fay Kelley]

Hi,

When I bought my A6 about a year and a half ago a receipt by previous 
owners said that a few months ago they had replaced the ignition 
switch (along with timing belt) .... we replaced the ignition switch 
twice and I finally took it to the dealership and had the housing and 
ignition switch replaced.

What lead me to do that was that the car doesn't shift to a higher 
gear sometimes.   It seemed to coincide with stopping the car, 
turning it off and restarted it ... then it would run and shift 
correctly.    At one time the ignition switch was very loose and if I 
jiggled it then the car would shift up.   Now if I turn the car off, 
which means step on the brake and put it in park and re-start, most 
of the time that takes care of it ..... but 5% of the time it doens't.

What are the possible causes of this?

Anyone else had this intermittent problem with an A6?

Thanks -
