A4 2004 Multitronic.

If the 6 plate clutch has been changed for the 7 plate clutch, is that the problem solved, or are there still issues? (Friend thinking of buying one, 2.0 petrol)

Thanks, John.

I stand by to be slated here, but My opinion is a valid one too.

MULTI-TRONIC IS THE SINGLE WORSE GEARBOX I HAVE EVER HAD THE MISFORTUNE TO DRIVE AND WORK ON.

It's the only gearbox in Audi's that has any kind of reliability problems, all the others are fine, DSG is a bit iffy. But please dont listen to any of the above posts, do your self a big favor and get a manual gearbox, if you simply must have auto, make sure its a quattro with tip-tronic.

I work on Audi's for a living, and I can tell you with have nothing but trouble with these, and they don't even drive very nice when they are working, which usually isn't for long. ECU replacement is common, valve body not so much, modified or replacement clutch packs/input shaft assy is a daily occurrence, and complete box failier + replacement is pretty common to, and they cost £5000. (thats more than the cars worth if its a 53 plate A4 for example)


I surely cant be the only one who thinks this.

He doesn't think they're very good does he?
