Question: I though that this happened on an 100?  Or is it the same 
transmission?  I'm going to bring it to a independant shop, if the dealer 
can't get this right, I'm not bringing my car back period.  Do you know 
is this written down anyplace by audi itself so I can show the dealer so 
they know for the future, or is this just one mechanics suggestion?  
Thanks for your help
