i would think it would since my a6 is hitting real hard when i put it in reverse, not a friendly sound either. so after awhile i would think it will take its toll. im so upset something so simple can make something big go wrong..ugh

 

good news!! got it fixed by my local import dealer. i guess he just reset the tcm and badabing! but i have other issues with it

rear trailing arm is bent making my cars alignment horrible, my two back tires are bald and the steering wheel is completely sideways..ugh car has gone to ****

 

Thats great! gives me alot of hope. haha... So did he tell you what he did to reset it? (just to give me an idea)

 

im guessing he was using one of those vag coms because i asked him if he reset and he said "yea i cleared the codes" ..whatever that means. but this is the least of my problems because he gave me a list of what is wrong with the car lollo

 

haha...at least you are transmission problem-free... I'll be getting my vag-com today so we'll know pretty soon!!

 

The best $270 I've spent! Once i had all the software installed and the cable connected i ran the scan and came up with a few errors around the car and a whole pile for the trans(see below) Well, I re-set all the codes for the trans and re-scanned, no problems. Test drove with again no issues... What I think happened was that when I pulled the fuse for the trans control(and all gear selector switches and locks) the computer saw all these things failing and immediately switched the trans into safe or "limp" mode. Summary: Problem solved, GET A VAG COM! haha...

^^^ Well the intermittent codes are good, but the brake light switch in your car is toast, and that can also cause transmission issues....like limp mode so you need to change that.
The A/C fault is intermittent as well, so ignore it.

 

Yep. And a tranny will not reset on its own...

 

what is and where is the break light switch? in the shifter console?
