I understand that TSB's are recognized technical problems by the manufacturer and they are covered when your car is still under warranty. I have a 2003 CVT A6 3.0 and am trying to figure out what part of my car is being effected by some particular TSBs....

I have brought these to an audi dealership trying to to pinpoint what part(s) are malfunctioning but they havent helped me out..

Does anyone know what parts are effected by these TSBs? Has anyone else had these "shuddering" problems before?

 

TSB=> Technical Service Bulletins are issued by the manufacturer (VAG).
With SVT - IMHO=> you are looking for inevitable failure - drive till breaks ore dump the car preemptively now.
Cruel but true...

 

Each TSB usually will include a factory suggested remedy/procedure... what exactly did 370402 say?
