Currently got a Audi a4 2.0 Se Multitronic, wondering if anyone could assist me in my decisions.
Firstly, last week, the oil pump gave way, leaving me with a £900 bill.
Next, the multitronic gearbox started juttering between changing gear, getting progressively worse as the weeks went on. After a bit of research, i found that this gearbox is well known for problems and can require a 6 to 7 plate clutch conversion, and even sometimes a new gearbox.
The car has full audi service history, registered late 2002 and has 46k miles.
If i was to go for a full warranty, such as one offered by warranty direct, would this have covered the oil pump?
More importantly, would it cover any further problems with the multitronic gearbox, the reason i ask is, this is a guaranteed failure from reading other peoples experiences with it, which will in turn cost the warranty company far more than what i paid for the warranty.
The other option i'am left with is to sell the car before any further problems occur, this is not the favorable option, but if the gearbox was to fail, it would be a total financial disaster for me.
