2001 A4 automatic transmission jerking

[xtc844]

Hello, appreciate if you guys can advise me on my problem re: jerking when car is slowing down.

Now the car is almost 8 years old, when driven for a long time, there is a tranmission jerking when it is decelerating/slowing down during the time when it is about to stop. It usually happens when it is used for about an hour, also when exposed to heavy traffic.

I also noticed now that when heavy traffic, and outside temp reading is about 38C+, the cars water temp exceeds half and i have to turn off the aircon so that it will go back to half. It has been maintained since bought by AutoProminence and then shift to PGA (when dealership was taken by PGA), but last maintenance, PGA replaced a lot of hoses, etc.. but still problem.

I really like this car, it's my 1st euro car and ride, looks, and everything is ok with me. But this problem, is making me drive it less..

Your advise would highly be appreciated.

Thank you.

Have you replaced the transmission fluid and its filter? If you haven't, I'll start there 8 years is a long time.

For the temp prob, you may want to flush your radiator and put in fresh coolant. Also check your fans if they are moving at the correct speed. While you are at it, check your fan relays.

Thanks. But already done those. PGA replaced tranmission fluid and filter recently. Also I replaced fans (dati with Autopominence) already (but not sure if PGA checked the relays, ok i will advise them to do it when i bring it again to try to find the jerking problem). Also, last PMS they replaced the coolant.

Anyway, thanks. Awaiting further advise from others, if any.

Look for someone with diagnostic scanner. Scan for fault codes if there are errors in the transmission. If you can't find somebody with diagnostic scanner, let me know.

I'll take your advise, thanks! I'll bring it to Autoteknica and see how it goes. As for the diagnostics/scanner, I don't know. After taking the car to this shop, and still does not solve it, I'll try it. Thanks again.
