Get it vagged... Im sure you were told that before, because that is something you say you know you need to do.. Also, don't recreate a thread just because it didnt get the answer you were looking for the first time... thats just plain rude and uncalled for.... Your problem is strange, it doesnt sound like tranny limp mode.... Was the car running this way before or after you disconnected the ecu? Why did you disconnect the ecu? Why did you buy an Audi?? Dont you know they are unreliable???? Shoulda went with the Geo man...

fins someone who has vag, in your town. I am sure there is at least one people can help you. Since no body knows where you are from, we cannot really help.

Get VAG. It'll be your best friend.

I've spent so much money on my B6 without having it.

If you have a laptop VAG-COM is the way to go.

If like me you only have a desk top , try this;

I bid $30 for it.
