2004 A6 2.7T Auto Quttro
Sometimes when I start the car, the engine is very noisy, soundsbig there is a fan running.
Usually it takes about 90 seconds, during this period;if I drive it doesn't shift to 2nd gear even if I give more gas.
But everything seems to be ok after 90 second warm-up.
What might be wrong?

Thanks.

xav

 

normal ... there are other threads on this topic ... but its completely normal ... everyones does it ... let it idle down b4 u move it ... sometimes itll still take u up to 3000+ rpm b4 shifting the first time ... everything is just cold ... let it warm up

 

Joetm is right. Its absolutly normal. Mine does that too. If im in a hurry and I need to warm it up I always wait for that noise to go away first.

 

yea i always wait too no matter how much of a rush im in lol

 

Agreed- Audi's are designed to hold its gear until it warms up- I live in the Northeast and experience this all the time-

 

lol me too..I was thinking about the same thing the other day...and boy it's cold here...
