How do you get to the TB? I've been wanting to clean mine for a while but I can't even see it without having to take everything apart.

 

Yea basically between the battery and back of the engine is where the throttle body is. You do need to pull the stuff apart thats on top of it. It loks almostlike a plate with tubes and wires running on top of it. That has to be taken apart and taken off before you do anything.

I used this to get it done:

It says its for an A6 but it was dead on for my 98 A4 2.8

 

Yes indeed this sounds like a transmission issue, feel free to call ric at level 10 973-827-1000 the audi experts
