r u sure you had it fully in drive and not between drive and neutral...........I have done this before.
dj A4 2.4 Auto.
Many electronic transmissions have a mechanical cable between the shift lever and a hydraulic controller. If you have a cable, check that it's aligned.
It it a Multitronic?
I have 03 reg 2.4 SE Multitronic and at around 30k miles something similar happened to mine a couple of times but it has not done it for about a year now. I reversed then when putting it back into 'D' there was no drive at all. Putting it back into 'N' a couple of times or back to 'P' then turning off ignition then back on again seemed to cure it.
My car did this about 5 times in say a month and I was going to take it in to the dealer but as I said, the problem has now mysteriously disappeared on it's own.
Sorry this probably doesn't help much - i'd say if it keeps doing it then yes take it in in a couple of weeks.
