2009 Audi TT problems

“I'VE EXPERIENCED ISSUES WHEN TRYING TO SHIFT GEARS, MOST RECENTLY WHEN PUTTING THE CAR IN REVERSE FROM DRIVE, THE DASHBOARD STARTED FLASHING AND IT LOST ALL POWER AS IF IT WERE DISENGAGED OR IN NEUTRAL. I TOOK THE CAR INTO A DEALER AS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE FOR MY VIN ( CAMPAIGN 09V333000), BUT THAT IT HAD ALREADY BEEN REPAIRED PRIOR TO MY OWNERSHIP, WHICH DOES NOT SEEM TO BE THE CASE.”

AT AROUND 14,000 MILES, I HAVE NOTICED A TICKING SOUND BY THE REAR DRIVER AREA. THIS WAS THE AREA THAT THE DEALERSHIP HAD WORKED ON AT 5,000 MILES WITH THE REPLACEMENT OF FUEL SEAL. I HAVE NOT THINK MUCH OF IT AS THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING AND IT WAS APPROACHING THE NEXT SERVICE INTERVAL AND I THOUGHT I CAN JUST HAVE THE DEALERSHIP CHECK THIS PROBLEM THEN.
