Fault Finding Information

Selector Lever Position Display, No Reverse function
Simultaneous lighting of all segments of Transmission Range (TR) selector lever display indicates transmission is in emergency running mode. The vehicle does not drive in reverse.

Tip Function Malfunction, No Normal Gear Selection





Check lock washers on selector lever cable mounting bracket at top of transmission. Washer - B - especially must never be used twice.
This washer can be lost due to a loss of residual stress. The - arrow - points to the cable adjusting screw.

Drive Faulty, Insufficient Oil
Only add oil if you have definitely seen: oil is leaking. Under any other circumstances it is just a needless expense that does not help.

No Malfunctions Present
This especially depends on you. Experience shows that often a fault that is attributed to the transmission was caused by other components or units.
It has occurred that poor shifting behavior was a result of insufficient engine air supply. Do not make mistakes like this.
If such faults are to be eliminated, you can work sensibly with the VW tester.

Malfunctions Present
First inform yourself of what the faults stored indicate. The VW tester offers the Guided Fault Finding possibility. You can find many causes of faults when the Guided Fault Finding is used correctly.
