Controller: 8D0 927 156 AP
Component: AG5 01V 1.8l5VT USA 3132

Shop #: WSC 06325
1 Fault Found:
17119 - Gear 5 Incorrect Ratio

1) The clutch for the gear indicated is slipping/is faulty or the solenoid valve for this gear is dirty/faulty

2) Sensor for transmission output RPM -G195- faulty

3) Sensor for transmission RPM -G182- faulty

4) Wrong Transmission Control Module (TCM) installed or coding wrong

notes: Gear monitoring of the Transmission Control Module (TCM) checks the gear ratio by comparing transmission input RPM and transmission output RPM based on the currently selected gear. This malfunction is indicated when an unrecognized, unauthorized gear ratio occurs (implausibility)

So whats the verdict Doc?

Transmission Code EFQ
Part Number 01V-300-044-GZ

there seems to be a few areas to check.
the solenoid valve is a likely culprit and apparently can be checked via VAG. check out <a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a8/msgs/52215.phtml">this message</a> on the A8 forum.

my very unprofessional opinion thinks that if it was the RPM sensors, it would affect all gears, not a single one, so clutch is a possibility. although if the car died and does not run, the RPM sensors are a bigger possibility - maybe that was the last code before the car died.

i'm shooting in the dark based on little information.

i found trans code EFQ, but i did not find part# 01V-300-044-GZ. it does look similar to a transmission part# however.

this is what i found for 5 speed automatic transmissions for a4:

<pre>
efq a4 08/99 - 05/00

edc a4 08/98 - 12/98 01V 300 046N , #01V 300 048DX
ebv a4 08/98 - 12/98 #01V 300 048MX
ebw a4 02/99 - 07/99 &gt;01V 300 048N , #01V 300 048NX
efr a4 02/99 - 09/99 #01V 300 045HX
ebu a4 05/99 - 06/00 #01V 300 048FX
emk a4 08/99 - 11/99 #01V 300 047X
etu a4 09/99 - 06/00 #01V 300 048KX
etz a4 11/99 - 06/00 #01V 300 051LX
ema a4 01/00 - 06/00
ezr a4 06/00 - 10/00 same as ebu
fev a4 06/00 - 09/01 &gt;01V 300 050N , #01V 300 050NX
ezp a4 06/00 - 09/01
ezy a4 06/00 - 10/00 same as ebw
ezw a4 06/00 - 10/00 same as etz
</pre>

i think the # before the part# means rebuilt, which is the same as the part# ending with X. &gt; may mean new, not sure.

my suggestion is to contact carson heter @ riverside audi in NJ. he has the expertise, and he'll give you an audiworld discount if you need to purchase any parts.
