Symptoms: Indicator lights for gears are all lit on cluster. Transmission slips into neutral while driving. Does not like to shift into reverse very well. Code: 17090 - Transmission Range Sensor (F125): Implausible Signal P0706 - 003 - Mechanical Failure. I read up on this a bit and found...

I had the automatic transmission switching issue which gave me the check engine code P0706 and required the transmission range switch replacement (I was able to repair the switch I had, without spending $200 for a new one). After 3 days of driving with the switch repaired and Tiptronics...

04 Passat V6 auto w- trip Hopefully this weekend I am going to replace this switch to correct my limp mode issues but I have read that the transmission mount needs to be removed. My Bentley doesn't mention it. Do I need to plan on removing the trans mount or not? Thank you

I am going to order the filter and gaskets for the transmission fluid change. I see HUGE differences in pricing between a factory filter and the aftermarket brands. ECS lists genuine VW/Audi gasket and filter at $161.21 - which is absurd for this type of part! So we have: VW/Audi...

My baby (a 2000 Passat GLX wagon, metallic black) took a hit to her right/passenger fender in a parking lot. The damage was minor and limited (mostly) to the fender. I have gotten estimates from $600-$900 for replacing the fender and re-painting. Does this sound about right?

Has anyone managed to extend the range? I hate how little it is. And yes I use the touch to chin. It works, but not all the time.

Ever since my mom gave me her passat after she got her suby I noticed the range on my key fob isn't that great. The remote works about 2 feet from my car, 3 feet on a good day. I tried replacing the battery and it helped but not much. When I holdthe key to my head or under my chin my range...

I recently had to replace my transmission range sensor, aka neutral safety switch, aka multifunction switch (MFS), to fix my 2003 Passat's limp mode problems. I have a thread in this forum (it's long) about tracking down the problem and if you're interested you can find it here: Transmission...

I've been having problems with the range on the key fob for my passat. For both remotes for the remote lock, unlock, trunk and panic button only work about 3 feet from my car. Since both remotes work the same distance from the car and they have new batteries I'm positive the remotes both work. I...

Hey all, I've had a 2003 VW Passat V6 for about a good month now. Apparently its time for an oil change but since i'm new with VW's i wanted to get a good idea of how much i'd have to pay if i were to go to PepBoys or something. There isnt a VW dealership close by and i heard walmart isnt that...

Hello, I have a 2005 1.8T AWM. I have two key fobs and one works fine. The other only works when I am right next to the car. I have replaced the battery a couple of times but no change. This really has me stumped. I even cleaned the battery contacts on the fob.

OK, fixed my switch, did not replace it. The car was intermittent cranking and was throwing a code that said the switch was bad. It's a bear to get this switch off but I wanted to confirm the defect. I drilled out the rivets that hold it together and found two wiper contacts inside heavily...

I made a video detailing the steps on replacing the transmission range sensor (neutral switch)in an '04 Passat 4motion 2.8L. The car was continuously going into limp mode with trouble code P0706. VAG-com proved that there was a problem with the TCM receiving the proper signal. I took apart...

My 2001 needed a new battery. Ever since it was installed the LED on the dash has read minutes instead of the miles left to the tank. I tried cycling through and resetting with the button on the wiper switch but it did not give me the miles option. Just minutes driven today or minutes driven...
