Exclamation Cvt help!!!

I am starting to have symptoms of the famous CVT issue with my PRNDS flashing with the check engine light on. I still have a few more weeks of warranty on the vehicle but I'm wondering if it's worth the fix? I've read a bunch of different posts and I just don't want to keep pouring money into this car. I just bought this a few months back and already had to have my oil pressure sending unit replaced and Audi dealership found multiple leaks. Should I just get rid of it? I would like to keep it because I love this car but it's killing me financially. I also read that sometimes the transmission goes anyways as soon as you replace the TCM. So what's the point?

Now since I am not having any mechanical problems yet, as in car not moving or getting stuck in certain gears, am I catching it soon enough to not have extensive damage to my transmission? What do you guys think? It's really frustrating. I don't know what to do.

If the car is killing you financially. I would just get rid of the car and get something more practical. You can always wait until you have more money and get the car of your dreams. But, it's all up to you since it is your car. And people can just give you advice. Best of luck with your decision.
