A4 sticking in Park when cold
Gonna help a friend out with a '00 A4 coupe tomorrow with a weird problem. When the tranny fluid is cold it sticks in Park. Once the temps get up to some warm value (> 100 degrees), it'll come out of Park and work normally.
I'm fluent with M6s, but pretty ignorant when it comes to A4s. Any ideas?
TIA, and have a good one,
Mike

Won't know until we dig into it tomorrow, but I don't think so. I think a spill would be problematic regardless of the tranny temperature.
Thanks anyway, and have a good one,
Mike

If its the samething that happened to me, its the solenoid located in
the shifter area. For some reason when it fails, its in cold weather. I
simply removed mine. I can now take it out of park without having to
step on the brake, which is the purpose of it.
