Judging from the nature of your questions, I'm guessing you probably won't be doing the repair yourself...Audi's are not the most friendly car to work on...many professional mechanics shy away from them. If thats the case then find a good VW/Audi indie shop (ask around) and let them take a look with the idea that they will probably be doing the repair work. Get the car scanned and post the results here. With luck it's a minor issue that you can do yourself. Some bad luck and things can get serious...and pricey.
i got it scanned but nothing showed up and the shifter is kinda loose, i dont have to press the button on top left to move the shifter, it moves without pressing that button

Will it go into park or reverse without pushing the button? Do you have a CEL on (check engine light)? You posted earlier that your gear indicator was lit up in red which indicates that the car is well aware of the fault which would have also triggered the CEL. If you have a CEL and your scan showed nothing...my gut reaction would be to question the scanning equipment or the scan operator.

Your car is in limp mode. Could be several different things...get it scanned.

No there is no indicator on dashboard except for ESP which doesn't go off and yea it goes in to Park and Reverse with pressing the button

Sorry. Without a known fault, it becomes a matter of hit or miss guess work. Good luck with it.

Hi there, So i got my car scanned again today from different shop and a fault finally showed up with this info "18152 Tiptronic Recognition Switch (F189) Short to Ground P1744 Mechanical Function", AND the mechanic drove my car for a while and found out that in D (Drive) mode, the gears changes manually when shift up to N (Neutral), and down shift wen hitting the S (Sports) mode, STRANGE, So as a result the car drives manually (Triptronic) in D (Drive) mode while nothing happens in Tiptronic mode lol crazy.

Is that too big of a problem? how much to fix it? and where did you get it scanned at?

I kind of have the same issue. My car won't move in D but works in manual Triptonic mode.
