Why is 1st Gear hesitating?
What is your question?
When my car has been driven for more than 30 minutes or so, and I have to make a complete stop at a red light, when the light turns green and I accelerate to go forward, my car hesitates and sometimes I can hear that it is struggling to get into 1st gear.
This strained hesitating, gear 1 engagement only happens when my car is 'warmed up'. Also, this hesitation doesn't happen in any other gear as I am driving. However, Reverse is beginning to do a similar hesitation.
Noises: can hear sounds as the car is trying to get into 1st gear
Leaks: Oil Leak that has been diagnosed by but not determined where coming from.
Error Codes detected by Audi dealership on Oct 5 shown to be held in ECM memory but once cleared, did not come back after 100 miles of driving car: P050A and P2570
