| Frequent forced regenerations, power loss | Clogged or worn DPF | DPF regeneration or replacement, SCR system check |
| Jerking on gear changes, gearbox fault | Worn I-Shift clutch, decalibrated hydraulic module | Clutch replacement + module calibration |

If a breakdown catches the driver en route, we deploy the mobile service on the A4.
