Judders/vibrates or squeaks when changing gear - A4, A6, A8 with automatic gearbox (09L, 09E) Release date: 08-Oct-2013
Customer statement / workshop findings
1. Noises (squeaking, howling) when shifting up and down 3-4; 4-3 under pressure.
2. Vibrations/juddering during the control phase of the converter clutch (see Note under Cause)
Vehicles with 6 speed automatic gearbox (09L, 09E)
Technical background
The clutch generates briefly (about 500 ms) noises or vibrations/juddering when changing gear.
Note: This entry only applies to vibrations/juddering during the control phase of the converter clutch.
The converter condition can be checked in MVB 007/3 (converter open/ convertercontrol
convertercontrol/ converter shut).
Production change
1. Optimised ATF (blue) from February 2005 (gearbox numbers A: 4000597, B:95253).
2. Optimised ATF (green) from March 2008
(gearbox number: A4, A6, A8: 4432890, Q7: 4040037)
Measure
Case A: vehicles before first chassis break:
On MY 05 vehicles and earlier (before gearbox number: A:4000597, B:95253) update the software of the gearbox control unit.
Note:
• The new ATF needs the software version. Failing to update the software will lead to gearbox damage.
1. Update the software of the gearbox control unit (see table under Parts information)
2. Change the ATF twice (1 x flushing and 1 x changing). Use only ATF with the specification " G 060 162 A... " (green).
3. Through the update all the adaptation values of the shift elements in the gearbox control unit are deleted. An adaptation drive is
therefore necessary to ensure a good shift quality of the gearbox.
Case B: vehicles after first chassis break:
Vehicles after the chassis break have optimised oil and the suitable software version in the gearbox.
1. Change the ATF twice (1 x flushing and 1 x changing). Use only ATF with the specification " G 060 162 A... " (green).
2. Delete the adaptation values of the shift elements in the gearbox control unit. An adaptation drive is therefore necessary to ensure a
good shift quality of the gearbox.
Note: For vehicles from MY 06 the deletion and the adaptation drive can be performed with the guided fault finding.
If the ATF change is not successful, send a technical enquiry in DISS.
ATF change:
Flush out the system to remove any old ATF (e.g. from the converter).
1. Drain the ATF and fill in new ATF (green, G 055 162 A...). Check and correct the ATF level according to the repair manual.
Note:
• Before raising a vehicle with air suspension on a lift, the jack mode must be activated.
• Raise the vehicle about 10 to 20 cm.
• All four wheels do not touch the ground any more.
• Check the bearing arms of the lift, lock them if necessary.
• Check the tilting safety of the vehicle.
• Strictly adhere to the safety requirements.
Observe the country-specific health and safety guidelines.

• Never run the engine without ATF and do not tow the vehicle.
• Important: Do not drive faster than 50 km/h.
2. Observe the display of the driving modes in the combination instrument. Start the engine and release the handbrake.
3. Put the gear lever to position "D" while pressing the brake pedal. Carefully press the accelerator.
4. Carefully accelerate in "D" to maximum 50km/h and hold this speed for several seconds.
5. Carefully press the brake pedal and stop the vehicle.
6. Put the gear lever in position "R". Accelerate to 20 km/h and hold this speed for several seconds.
7. Carefully press the brake pedal and stop the vehicle.
8. Put the gear lever in position "D" and repeat steps 3 to 7 five times.
9. When the vehicle is stationary, put the gear lever in position "P" and switch off the engine.
10. Drain the ATF and fill in new ATF (green, G 060 162 A...). Check and correct the ATF level according to the repair manual.
Adaptation drive:
Note: For vehicles from MY 06 the deletion and the adaptation drive can be performed with the guided fault finding.
With older vehicles proceed as follows:
1. Warm up the gearbox with low engine performance till the ATF temperature reaches 60°C (ATF temperature must be below 100°C).
2. At stationary vehicle - idle speed, brakes applied, switch from N to D and hold for about 3 seconds. Repeat five times.
Perform the same procedure from N to R.
3. Shift from 1st to 2nd while driving at low load and shift down from 2nd to 1st. Repeat 5 times.
4. Drive at low load (engine torque between 80 Nm and 100 Nm, see 02 automatic gearbox, MVB 09, 1st display value) till the
transmission has shifted to 6th gear (vehicle speed about 80 - 100 km/h) and stay in this condition for about 30 - 60 seconds. Let the
vehicle roll to standstill (with gentle brake application at the end). Repeat four times (the aim is to shift up and down at very little load).
Note:
• The complaint may persist for 500 - 1000 km after the ATF change. Repair only after this period or send a technical enquiry.
