Also, what is the downside of not fixing the torque converter? Without the code, we do not know the actual fault with the torque converter. Under such circumstances we would have to list all the possibilities which would be a long list. What is the engine and transmission type? A6 has a variation of engine and transmission models. The specific model would allow us to get the correct data. If the code is intermittent, driving the vehicle should not be a problem. However when the code appears, drveability issues might occur.
If the code had appeared and then goes away after restarting, you can retrieve the code which would be recorded in the engine computer. You can get a free scan done at your local Autozone. Where is the access cover to remove the torque converter bolts on a A6 2. Behind the starter and alternator from the front. Torx 55 if memory is correct.
Sent from my VS using Tapatalk. Allroads of that vintage also put a hole in the rear of the upper oil pan where it mates to the tranny dead center lower-ish to access TC bolts without having to remove the starter. May have a rubber plug sealing it normally, and may be blocked by the sub frame? Sometimes with a wild stallion or tiger painted on for flair??!?
Alas, I digress. Little did I know the beautiful red paint on this 3. The torque converter has a known faulty seal which can wear down over time and cause slipping and hard shifts between gears.
I probably had the car for a month before it started to show symptoms of its eventual decline. At first, it had a hard shift between the 4th and 5th gears with excessive acceleration applied.
This meant driving on the freeway was a bit of a hassle, as the car would enter into a 5th gear limp mode while in motion. This was characterized by a very noticeable kick, followed by high rpms and the lack of gear changes. Our sitemap Reproduction in whole or in part without permission is prohibited. Choose currency.
