Problem Reports

would not go into reverse had to rebuild tramsmissions

Car seems to downshift around 35 mph in auto or manual. Anyone resolve this issue?

After service work by local dealer. after a 1200 mile plus trip. Transmission now on occation shifts to neutral.
Fault codes come back
Transmission flid temperatur sensor:
Implausible signal- intermittent
Shift Lock Solenoid:
Open circuit/short circuit to groung-intermittent
Gear monotoring:
Implausible signal-intermittent
Tiptronic switch:
Implausible signal- intermittent.
Tranmsion has no noise,no slip evidence, got 28 1/2 MPG
last trip of 1200 miles plus.
Dealer says is not authorized by VW to work on transmission
and is not able to get part from VW.
The bootom line is, the valve body,temprature and gear monotoring sensors are most likely are contaminated with
normal wear ferrus dust from the oil which comes from normal
wear of any turning gears.So replacement of valve body and
temperatur sensor would most likely take care of the problem.
But VW want's to change the transmission to the tune of
aprox, $5231.00.00 for an exchange unit (including labor)so they can turn around and replace these components and sell the transmission to an other sucker for $ 3798.29 plus labor. 80% of my driving is long distances with very little stop and go.
My old Mercedes has in excess of 600,000 miles on the transmission withnormal interval service and has no Problems.
Conclusion is VW's quality stinks to high heaven.

Second time automatic transmission failed. Was rebuilt 2 months ago and failed again...

I have a 2002 VW GTI 337 edition base, when i put it in drive it does a clunk and a jerk when it shifts from 2nd to 3rd gear does the same.
