Picking up a 2010 Audi s5 3.0T Quattro Cabriolet 2D today

Can someone tell me what transmission is in the car? Current owner says runs fine for about 30 minutes, and then wants to slip into neutral, lets it sit 5 minutes or so, and drives fine again for 30 minutes. I'm thinking valve body? Has 104k on it. It's not here for me to scan it.

Only the greatest POS transmission of all time. Probably needs a mech.

Hello,

Confirmed, the 2010 North America Audi S5 Cabriolet quattro with the CCBA engine has the 0B5A - 7spd
This transmission is so well known, it has it's own Ross-Tech wiki page:

7-Speed S-Tronic Direct-Shift Gearbox (DSG/0B5)


Hope this helps,

Oh lovely...
Found this place on Youtube, anybody used them? Or, where do I find a replacement?
Won't let me post the link. ECU TESTING in Germany I think.
New ones on FleaBay are all from China.
