Hello,

(2003 A-8 Quattro) I have a check engine light on and it sometimes clears for a short period of time but is on most of the time. Once in a while the cars transmission acts funny, it's like it just wants to slip and barely move. I shut the car off and restart it and it will shift fine. The code I'm getting is

"Code P2716 $1A 1/1
Pressure control solenoid D electrical".

I would like to change the solenoid but I have no idea where it is located, with my luck it's buried somewhere inside the transmission. Can anyone tell me where it is located and what other problems could be causeing this error code? I know it isn't necessarily the solenoid causing the problem, it could be a wire or something else that effects the solenoid. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Drop the transmission oil pan, and you will see the solenoids. I am not sure if you can change an individual one, or just change the whole batch. It could be that the fluid and filter needs to be changed, since it is unable to properly adjust the pressure due to the fluid.

Thanks for helping me out. Sounds like I should try an fluid change first.
