2001 audi quattro tt had problem sometime changing gears while driving it would sound like gear box fell out. Wouldn't go back into gear. Kill the engine and restart gears would work. Why?

You need the transmission control module scanned for fault codes. I know the check engine light must be coming on when this happens, correct?

Hi i have audi A5 sportback 2010 but wen i start it the Engine run but i doesnt have a power to go forward or backward. So wat can be the problem?

Is it a manual or automatic gear model? If automatic, are you sure it is engaging in gear? If you have a broken or lose shift cable, the gear handle is moving but not putting the car into gear. Try putting git into reverse? If that works, you have some other issue and will need to have the car looked at by a qualified mechanic.

If it is a manual shift model, get a mechanic to look at it.

Anybody know how to get into the bonnet if the release catch cable has snapped at the bonnet end? Audi A3, 1.8Tfsi 2007 (57 reg).

Can you see the end of the cable through the front grille? On some vehicles you can use a extra long flat screwdriver to push the release through the front grille.
Some S3 and A3 models have a small access hole between the bonnet and grille. A thin wire hook and a lot of poking around can release the bonnet.
if this doesn't work you might have to destroy the front grille to get access.

I have Audi A3 1.6 2001 model with automatic gearbox and it just doesnt want to change gears, from 2nd to 3rd it changes only at 70km/h and it doesn't change from 3rd to 4th at all. Any advise?

well i had thesame problem with my 1995 m A6. its the potentionmeter switch which sits on top of the engine and connects to the throttle assembly. if its not working then the gearbox wont change gears until very very late, easy to come off ..only 2 screws.

1996 Audi A4 quattro 2.8l manual shift is having shifting problem

if the car is a 5spd the clutch is burnt out of it. if it is automatic, it could be low on fluid, or tranny needs a rebuild.

have you checked the brake lights for operation ?
if they don't work than it is your brake light switch located on the pedal support bracket.

AUDI A4 AUTOMATIC SLOW TO ENGAGE FORWARD GEARS ,REVERSE ENGAGES INSTANTLEY BUT TO MOVE FORWARD I NOW SELECT DRIVE FOR AROUND THREE MINUTES THEN MOVE OFF SLOWLEY,THEN ALL GOES WELL

Not overly familiar with Audis but it sounds like either a.) you have an electronic tranny that has a serious bug or b.) there's a problem in the computer of the car itself. What is sounds like is the car is taking a long time to "understand" that you're telling it to move forward. How new is the car? When you push on the gas before the three minutes, what happens?

i would say your reverse gear is locking up on you and that you need to get it to a transmission shop before you break the gear off trying to back it up,,it will mess up the other gears
