2021 Audi A6 — delayed engagement into Drive when cold

WrenchRoadie234Community StarterSep 4, 20262021 Audi A6 PrestigeLos Angeles
2021 Audi A6 Prestige, about 47,000 miles. After sitting overnight, shifting from Park to Drive can take a second or two before the vehicle actually engages. Once warm it behaves normally. Would you start with fluid, adaptation data, mounts or something mechanical?

Start with the test that can prove you wrong. Get a real battery/charging test on the 2021 Audi A6, not just resting voltage, before blaming a module. If the cheap test changes it, stop and reassess. Keep sale price, fees, and rate as three different conversations. I've seen both outcomes, which is why I'd test instead of assume. I refuse to clear codes until someone else sees them.

Start with the test that can prove you wrong. Loaded-suspension checks on the 2021 Audi A6 catch play that a wheels-hanging inspection misses. Save the big job until that test fails. Write the result down so the next test isn't a repeat of the last one. This is the version I'd tell a friend.
