shifting

Figured I'd do something different. One issue with discussion boards and not just passatworld, its every discussion board, is nobody ever comes back to say how the problem was fixed (if at all). So here's a fix, at least one fix for the issue I had. 2005, 1.8T, 200K, runs fine, no issues...

Hello forum friends, I recently put a newer engine into my 03 passat 2.8l v6 4mot. When i got it from the mechanic last week it stalled on me 3 times. It only does this when i am at a complete stop at a light, so when idiling. The rmps when i idle sit at 600 and then all of a sudden it goes...

Can I actually break the turbo? I drove a subaru standard shift before...non turbo. My sister (previous owner) said I shift too soon.Where should the RPM needle read before I shift? I think she said 30?

Hi everyone, Has anyone experienced anything like this??? I have a 2017 R-Line and it only has like 7K miles on it so I am kinda frustrated as to why my car is making some weird noises. Anyways, this seems to happen after I have been driving for a while. For instances lets say I am driving...

03 Passat W8 with Auto Trans. 200k miles Shifting up the gears as I accelerate it intermittently feels as if I have just hit a giant pothole or curb. Only on upshift, only as best as I can tell going into final gear. Usually after a harder acceleration attempt but not always. After it gives...

Hi everyone, Last night, I pulled into a friend's very steep (25%) driveway, and when I tried to back out, I could not get the car to shift into reverse. Double clutching didn't help and I coasted down and shifted into the forward gears no problem. Today, I had a repeat of the problem, and...

So I recently was given a Passat . I noticed That it was shifting odd (not going into overdrive on the highway and shifting out of 2nd and 3rd at really high rpm 3800-4500) I have done a lot of research, I have taken it to dubwerx in Cincinnati and they can't find any error codes and couldn't...

I have a 2004 Passat GLX V6 with the tiptronic transmission. When the car sits overnight in the cold, the transmission appears to be stuck in a higher gear when I start it up in the morning and start moving. The car feels like it starts off in 3rd gear (or so) from a standstill. I believe the...

Looking at a local 99 Passat 1.8t for sale, it has a few issues that are not a big deal but one problem that he posted says" when the car is stopped, it won't shift into any gear unless the engine's off so have to turn it off at all stop signs etc to put it into first - shifts fine once it's...

I have a pretty oddball, slightly concerning problem with my '03 V6 Passat, Tip, but not AWD... anytime i try and "roll-through" a stop sign, the transmission shifts HARD when I mash the accelerator coming out of the rolling stop. IE, I'll let off the gas and creep, but not come to a full...

Hi all: I know describing a noise is tough. I have a 2000 V6 ATQ manual. New Upper and Lower Control Arms within last 1000 miles. Changed Transmission Oil within the last year with VW's Transmission Oil. Replaced all Motor mounts (but not transmission mounts) within the last 2 years. Clutch is...

Seems like there are some issues with these transmissions but... I've searched a handful of ways, and read stickies, but have not found the same symptom mine is having. First off, It's an 06 2.0T Passat with the auto trans and tiptronic. VIN: WVWAK73C46P****** 141K It recently started...

2000 atw auto 183000 miles. Car runs great besides abs module went bad. Transmission has a hard shift sometimes up, sometimes down, sometimes cornering left or right under acceleration. Never goes Into limp mode. Tried checking tcm and wiring. Changed trans fluid and filter(level is correct at...

Hi all, This my first post here although I've found lots of helpful information on this forum since I bought my Passat about a year ago. When I bought my 2001 Passat TDI 4-speed automatic with 262K kilometers on it it was running great. However, not long after I bought it I noticed a slight...

So driving around in Ocean City , md heavy traffic yesterday . My car started to refuse to go into 1st , 2nd , 3rd, or 4th, fifth gear has no issues. Shut the car off let it sit , cool down , got back on the road, started shifting with no issues again. The issues then started again after about...

Greetings. We have a 07 passat wagon, 2.0t automatic trans, 46k miles. In normal driving it's fine, but if you floor it it loses power while shifting. It's sudden and jarring when it happens. It's not throwing any codes, no lights, no info. As a side note many of those miles are the...

So my wife has been complaining about her Passat for about a week now and I just now got to drive it. It has trouble down shifting as you slow down, sometimes it feels like its shifting at too high an RPM and the car lurches when it does shift. Today at a stop light it felt like it it wanted to...

I've been looking for a couple days on here and other forums but can't find anything besides check the magnets. I've checked the magnets both are still there. Tried flipping both magnets multiple times in different configurations to make sure they were in the right way. Didn't help so I put them...

Hello, my new Passat just started "hiccuping" while shifting into 1st to 2nd gear. I'm pretty concernd seeing as I've had it a little over a month. Another thing I'm concernd about is I've been having a "secret admirer" coming to my house late at night fucking shit up. So far they slashed one of...

theoretical question: if you take it out of gear when the CC is on without pressing the clutch, will it redline immediately?
