Audi automatic transmission noise

[Juha Helenius <Helenius@walrus.megabaud.fi>]

I bought a few months ago an used (1989, 117000 miles) Audi 100 2.0 E
with three speed automatic transmission from a Toyota dealer.
  
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.
