Automatic Transmission Problems on Volkswagen and Audi How to Reset and Fix - Quick and Easy!

🔧🔧 AMAZON STORE: www.amazon.com/shop/drewfixit 🔧🔧
In this video I demonstrate and describe the brief process on how to reset the engine and transmission control modules on VW, Audi, Skoda, and Seat vehicles built starting in the late 1990s equipped with an electronic drive-by-wire throttle. The steps to reset these modules is as follows:
1/ Get into the passenger side drivers seat of the vehicle;
2/ Close the Drivers Door;
3/ Lock all of the Vehicles Doors;
4/ Switch the Ignition to the Accessory position;
5/ Wait for at least 15 seconds
6/ Push the Accelerator Pedal all the way down (as far as it will go) and hold it there for at least 30 seconds;
7/ Whilst still holding the Accelerator Pedal down switch off the Ignition ;
8/ Switch of the Ignition;
9/ Remove your foot from the Accelerator pedal;
10/ Remain sitting in the car (with all of the doors locked) for at least 3 minutes;
11/ Start the Vehicle
12/ Drive the Vehicle how you would normally drive for 15 minutes.
By following the procedure outlined in this video it may help resolve potential transmission issues in your vehicle, but be advised that this is not a substitute for having a professional technician resolve major internal mechanical issues in your engine or transmission if the vehicle continues to have issues after performing this procedure.

This reset worked to reset limp mode on my 2013 VW Jetta TDI. DPF and EGR valve(s) are clogged. This method enabled me to exit limp mode and regenerate the DPF 🚗 👍 Thanks a zillion to the fine gentleman that took the time and effort to make this video. Sincerely appreciate it 😁

[@paulcarney2608]

Thanks mate, great video and timing. I reset while in Cole’s car park, but I’d had a few so I didn’t drive home. My wife drove but I didn’t ask her how it felt as she never notices any difference with the car. Will go for a long drive tomorrow and give feedback. Thanks again 😊

I have a 2017 passat rline 1.4tsi which is now 6yrs old, and developed a judder when pulling away in 1st gear. I was going to book it into a dealer at the cost of god knows how much, but after some searching, I found this video. All I can say is Wow! No judder and gear change is as smooth as silk, and the engine is definitely purring quieter now. Once again, thank you very much!!

[@WinnieBlue]

Wow thanks mate. I have a 2015 A3 with the 7spd S-tronic and found it had some shudder on take off. This reset has completely removed it. Crazy!

[@DrewFixIt]

Glad it helped and thanks for sharing! I personally think VW, Audi and Skoda should stand up and be accountable for the mess that they have created with this transmissions, whereby it should be free for life to get these transmissions repaired at a Audi service centre IMHO!! Cheers Drew

This actually worked like a charm! I have a 2005 Jetta TDI wagon that got a new automatic transmission and for the last 2 years after getting it back from the shop it has had a very hard shift from 2nd to 3rd gear and not very smooth in others this reset just made this car feel brand new. Thank you!

[@katfischer3587]

Thank you soo much for this very helpful and well made video! My 2018 VW Tiguan had been struggling with acceleration, jumpy shifting and poor gas mileage after getting some work done @ VW. They dismissed my concerns since no lights were on but I knew it felt sluggish. Followed your steps and now it’s got its edge back! Responsive, getting better mileage, and much more enjoyable to drive. I live in sport mode and like to “drive it hard” haha. Can’t thank you enough!!

[@5Gamingx]

Thank you for the information. I plan to test it in my 2008/2009 Audi A4 B8. It seems there might be an issue with the gears or shifting in my Automatic S tronic. While driving, it appears the gears aren't changing automatically in the D drive mode, seemingly stuck in the first gear I guess because I didn't hear any switch gear little noise. Only on Sport mode and manual mode, I notice shifts based on speed that are switching automatically and it looks good. I experienced a noise when starting my audi in P position today, giving gas for 15-30 seconds. Could this have caused the gear switch problem? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

[@ProdByTrev]

I am having a similar issue have you figured it out? I’ll put my car in D and it won’t shift out of first gear until I put it in S then I go back to D and it will work normal until I stop and I have to do it again.

I wait for few minutes and it is gone and can drive normally. then few days after, it comes back, then is gone again. I have booked for a transmission specialist but it would be good if you have some experience about it and if this method of resetting the transmission program might work on my car. Cheers!

@@joeyt6813 I brought it to a transmission specialist, they drove the car, cleared the code, and was told that we need to observe the car more. 1 month has passed and the code and the problem did not come back anymore so far. so the mechanic was suspecting about the gearbox mechatronic system but they hesitated to open it up as it will be costly.

[@freeiosmusic5849]

Hey mate... Sounds exactly like the problem on my 2014 Volkswagen Touran. Brought it to the mechanic and they've changed the mechatronics twice. They've also replaced the clutch and inspected the gearbox twice. They've cleared the error codes and I was told to collect the car. But when driving home the hi rev problems and intermittent stuck on gear 2-3 problems came back. I then asked them to tow back the car for repairs as I wouldn't want to be stuck on the highway in D but gears seems to be in N like it did a year ago. Maybe I can try this method of reset and see if the problem goes once I get the car back...

I might be out of my league here, but I own a 2001 Bora, my car does the exact same but stuck in 2nd more often than working good recently. I've been told to check my speed sensor as it could be going bad and not entirely bad, so it does show sometimes on a scan. You could give that a try as it's not an expensive item to change.

I am going to try this on my Jetta 2015 TSI in canada. I’ll let you guys know. I bought this car used, excellent condition, but I noticed a small jerk in the 3-4 shift. Especially when I’m going uphill. When the car is cold or hot it also shifts different. I’ll come back after I try this.

Hi Mate, I suspect that there are different profiles for different temperatures, thus completely expected that it will shift differently from cold to hot. I look forward to hearing how you go with it :) Cheers Drew

[@riadammari5782]

So it’s only been 10 days I thought it was longer. But I made sure to come back and share. So I hope this isn’t a placebo effect but I do feel a difference after trying this. The car shifts more to my style, I drive it in regular mode and it shifts better, no jerk on 1-2-4-5-6 etc. slight jerk at 3 for me still. It’s an auto, but feels like a clutch slip. It’s barely there now though. So I’m happy with what I have now. In sports mode it’s clean shifting. When it’s warm the shifting is even better. All in all , I believe it did work and I’m happy with the results. Jetta SEL 2015 TSI canada.

@@princehakim._6427 resetting the throttle position sensor can sometimes fix a hard shift. And many other drivability issues. Fuel delivery, spark or ignition and shifting are all dependent on the signals being sent from the throttle position sensor to the ecm. The ECM then tells the other electronics how to perform based on the position or signal coming from TPS. If that doesn't alleviate the problem you probably have a shift solenoid inside the transmission going bad.

If you have something to say just say it.

I just tried it on my 03 passat v6 4motion tiptronic. It still made a clunking noise in reverse & in 1st. Drove around 25mph the 1st 7min. Stopped at the light. Up a steep hill with not much power even with pedal to floor so I pushed the gear over to the + still not much difference for 1min. Turned around, back down the hill..Then around 50 on the highway then back to 35, back to 50 then Into my driveway & turned it off. Hopefully tomorrow ill see a difference. If not. I have no clue. I already changed the camshaft & crankshaft sensors & rmp sensor. Can't figure out why it clunks I to hear sometimes. & sometimes it hesitates after I stop at a light & goes way too slow when I press on the has so I have to shift it into 2nd 3rd 4th manually. Its too annoying. Bit thanks for finding a tranny reset code. Even if it doesn't work.

​@@modelformodelsIs your gear selection indicator flashing when you have problems?

No se olle😢

[@crowbaril903]

Isn't this a throttle reset??

[@DrewFixIt]

Hi Mate, from driving the car before and after I can guarantee it also changes the driving characteristics of the transmission as all of the gear change soft points change too! Cheers Drew

Mine doesn't want reverse please assist

[@mightymulatto3000]

It sounds like your gear selection indicator may be flashing. This happens for one of two reasons. One is the clutch is overheating and this is just a protective measure. Get your gear oil service done. The second reason is that your dual clutch is suffering from "excessive drag torque" if this is the case you'll need a dual clutch replacement.

[@Horizon301.]

@@mightymulatto3000what about putting the car in reverse and it stalling almost when going to accelerate, it takes a few seconds to start going backwards again with more pressure on accelerator needed. In my opinion it is the same as what a modern manual vehicle is like when it stalls and you push the clutch in and it restarts again for you

[@mightymulatto3000]

@@Horizon301. I misunderstood what you meant. I imagine nothing is wrong if the gears status indicator isn't flashing or off. But if it is flashing or off then there is a problem with the dual clutch per the shop guide.

Read the comments from people confirming it works! Cheers Drew

Don't buy a car with a DSG transmission!!! If they break, and they regularly do, it will cost a small fortune to get it repaired (3,5-6K)!

[@DrewFixIt]

Some might say "deep pockets" are required when they break! Cheers Drew

$2500AUD used plus install. Show me another car of equal performance thats cheaper.. im waiting..I don't see how this is expensive given the performance/fuel economy vs an manual or traditional auto. Ive owned them all. Fully built autos behind big V8's. These things perform, maybe you didn't drive yours right or just got a bad one it happens. Not just parts whole cars can be lemons while the rest are fine.Rebuild the original as a spare and build to ensure it can handle the tune.

[@ChristianPareATLAS]

​@brettleonard8602 even Toyota, Honda or Mazda has lemons 🍋. Maintenance is key. Changing oil and filter for the transmission helps lots. Many people don't do maintenance that's the problem. Buying a used car we never know which maintenance was done
