We too have the Audi A4 2004. the diagnostics say there is no problem but the official distributors machinist says that it might be a problem with the TCU. the cost of getting it replaced is very high and they do not asure that it will solve the problem. if not we might need to get the transmition case replaced or fixed. i too think that Audi should fix this. people buy this brand for it's quality, but after 5 years the car has such major problems- it's not right

The same problem. I bought my AUDI A4 2005 CVT couple years ago. For two years I haven't had any problems with my car. A few days ago the PRND indicator began to blink and the car went into the safe mode. A Diagnostics showed that there are problems with TCM. Most Audi vehicles have a problem with it and dealer ask 1200 for replacement plus labor. But I read there is a good alternative to replacement. This is a repair service which completele restore tne TCM for reasonable price. Maybe you guys recommend any repeir service

I have a 2002 A4 with the CVT. Occassionally it jumps when I start first time in the day. It also has started to present a noise in the front end once you get to 55 MPH. I have seen a number of videos on youtube about this ******. I am having problems and some of the symptoms appear to parallel those identified on a number of sites. I have enjoyed this car and would like to continue doing so but am afraid the ****** is failing. I have contacted local transmission shops and they
won't touch this. The Audi dealer won't tell me anything over the phone, want me me to drive the car 50 miles to dealership and give them a blank check. I have talked with a number of rebuilders and they want me to send the ****** or car to
them. Everywhere I turn it appears by the time I do anything it will
cost more than the car is currently worth.

Is their anyone out there that knows this transmission, and is willing
to talk to me or assist me diagonose.

Thank you

    I too have a 2002 Audi A4 Automatic transmission and when i put the car in reverse it jerks very hard as if the engine wants to jump out of the car. It stalls very bad in reverse as well, but when I put it in drive the car really doesn't let you know that it has shifted into that gear and I have to press the accelerator to get the car to move. Research shows that it may be the TCU or TCM because the prnd lights are flashing but no one really knows. I can drive the car but its just running like its shot. Can anyone help or does Audi need to accept responsibility for this fault.

S.govI just got a new engine in my 2001 sonata. it only has 20,000 mi. A new problem just surfaced- at 55 mph the car jerks and the check engine light comes on. The light goes off when I shut the car.

When a 'check engine light' (MIL=Malfunction Indicator Lamp) is turned on, there is a DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) set/stored in the ECM/PCM (Engine Control Module/Powertrain Control Module). This code identifies which engine management system component/function experienced a malfunction. Once you pull/read this code, you may begin diagnosis. I think you'll find P1529 (MIL On request from the TCM - Transmission Control Module.

What does these codes mean P1781, P0731, P1784 AND P0700 AND HOW DO I FIX THEM.

p1781 is manufacturer control transmission, p0731 is gear 1 ratio incorrect, p1784 is manufacturer control transmission, p0700 is trans, control system malfunction. all of these codes refer to tranny.This code normally points to a faulty transmission control module, but this is an expensive part and you should have an experienced Dodge technician diagnose the problem first. or a transmission specialist. the other codes are probably associated with the p0700 code. have a good day !
