check tranny fluid and disconnect the baterry

 

When that happened to me I immediately shut off the car, let it sit for 30 secs, restarted and it was ok. You may have to disconnect the battery or take it to a shop and download the codes. There is a way to look at the codes and you can go to Audi Forum or SJM Autotechnik for advice on how to do that.

 

I have the same problem with mine. I am taking it to the shop on wednesday to get it coded and a tranny flush. I update u on that
