My car transmission seems to slip when taking corners, and when going from neutral to 1st. Also, my led status window (idk what its called) is messing up. I have red lines through everything, and can barely ready anything on it anymore. Whats more, is taht randomly, my gear indicator will turn completely read to the point where i cant even see what gear im in. Turning off the car and on, fixes the red out... but it seems like the display in general is getting nworse.

these seem to be related. when my gear indicator "reds out" the car starts doing more of the slipping.

i know this is vague, but Audi wants like $100+ to take a look. I dont have that kind of money.

any ideas?

 

update: i did a vag scan, misfire on all 4 cylinders, but i think that might be because of the bigger problem

geting tranny code 17118 which is gear 4 incorrect

and 17125 torque converter.

after reading more on the internet, it may be a TCM issue. my car goes into limp mode sometimes, but its not the limp mode everyone else says. IT doesnt FLASH on my gear indicator, it just straight up turns completely red. when i turn the car off and on it goes back to normal. any other ideas? how do i get to the TCM?

i heard the 17125 called a "death code". pleas esomeone. give me some advise.

 

i found this today. it was on there a bit, but after messing with it, it completely broke off. is this what my problem is? also, wtf is it?
