Volkswagen beetle transmission fix

Hardships no shifts late shifts all comes down to valve body issues

[stevendistler]

Forgive me if you have it listed, but where did you buy your parts?

Hi Dennis, I have a 2004 VW beetle I just picked up. It's a 1.8 turbo.engine seems to run great. Just started really driving it and the transmission when putting it in drive is clanky sometimes .also sometimes when coming to a stop, downshifting to 1st is a little jerky. I'm adding transmission fluid tomorrow. It sat up for awhile before I got it. Has 83000 miles on it. Do you think just sitting up and needing fluid would cause that to happen or is it another issue? Also if I needed help do you work on these ? I'm in South Carolina and don't mind bringing it to someone who knows what they are doing.thanks for the video and help

You mention 2003 tdi, same work. It's no longer on your page???? I'm having the same issues with my 2005 golf tdi. At 1st it use to have a hard time changing from 2 to 3 on a cold start. Had to warm up the car for about 15mins then all will be good. Check engine will good off after I let it warm up before taking off and would run for about 20+ miles. Recently, even warmed up on a stop light or going up some rough hills it does the same . Went to some local shop that specialize in vw and they're charging me about $1, 300- $1, 400 to fix the Solenoids

Hello 👋 I hope you can answer me, I have a VW beetle 2003 convertible, and I think I’m having problem with the transmission, he runs fine but once I stop fast when he starts shifting down it shifts hard and I’m scared that could break or something, is it the transmission or something else?

How much fluid do you add back in on a 05 beetle 2.0 non turbo trans code HFZ

[ethgarvelazquez]

Do you think that kit will fix a bettle stuck in its first gear

great video I have a 2003 convertible that runs fine no shifting issues just a trans code that keeps coming back 17225 transmission fluid pressure sensor switch 1:implausible signal - open circuit/short circuit to b+ if anyone knows what I need to change I would be grateful

Where’d you buy the solenoid kit from?

Does this work on a 2.5 automatic vw new beetle SE 08 (convertible 2-door)(I’m not sure how specific I had to get) 6 speed transmission(does the transmission code matter? Cause idk how to find it and quite frankly I have no one who is willing to help me find it, besides my asshole uncles that want $800 from for labor and in top of that they want to pop in a new(used) vw transmission without having the code(does it have to be specific) I believe I can do this myself but they dont want to let me borrow the tools I need and then get mad at me for not learning why? Because if I don’t learn then they can continue charging me to do it for me, I need this learning experience

Hello Dennis how do we order the kit ?

Question have 2003 1.8t car shifts flawljust when I take it out of drive and put it back in takes about a sec to get into drive....any ideas low fluid

I need to fix my 2006 jetta. do you just change the solenoid or do you do the whole valve body? how much does this cost? if i dont do anything am i damaging the transmission? I have been driving like this for a year

[Gena]

Would this be the same fix for a 2008 bmw 535xi with the same issue?

[fishwanda]

Is this for sure to fix? I have to do my own repairs. My car doing exactly this. It's a 2005 vw jetta but same engine

[williamwenger]

Is the procedure similar for a 1999 beetle?

[fishwanda]

One more question. I've read that it's not good to flush transmission. I'm really worried about having to replace transmission up the road. Not something I can afford. Will this cause problems with transmission?

[fishwanda]

I'm doing this but I've come across something. Is there anyway you can call?

I have a 2006 Beetle that shifts good once you get past the first 3 gears. At a stop light when you take off the engine seems to race before it grabs the gear. I can put the gear shift in "S" and it seems to do better. It doesn't do it all the time mostly driving in town. Do you think this process would fix my issue? I'm not sure if it would be best to change the whole body or just the solenoids. Good video by the way

What was the solenoid kit number and where did you get it.

[fishwanda]

When I removed valve body. A cam or check valve thingy with a spring fell out! I noticed yours is still there.
