What's wrong with the current transmission? What symptoms are you getting? Because I doubt the whole transmission is shot.

My mechanic confirmed valve body as bad and it has affected the fibres and some components. Advices a complete change of transmission. Hesitates and slams in gears 1 gng to 2, and 5 gng to 6 and does the same when slowing down. Need to get a verygood transmission that can replace this.

Your mechanic isn't being straight with you.

The N97 solenoid valve is what controls the shift pressure, and it's not available as a seperate item. You need the complete valve body. The rest of your transmission will be fine, a faulty N97 solenoid does not "affect the fibres."

"Some components"? I bet your mechanic doesn't know what those other components are, hence his vague reference!

You could very well buy a complete transmission (the correct one for your car) but there are no guarantees it'll be in good shape. You can't test it till it's been fitted to the car, and even then, you can only see it's working at the time it was fitted. Not how long it'll last. The valve body is the major component, the core unit of your transmission. It is also the major part really prone to failure. The rest of the transmission is pretty robust.

My advice would be to replace the valve body with a new (not used) unit. You'll be saving yourself a bundle in the long run. And while it's all apart, have a new (not used) filter fitted, and then the transmission filled with genuine Volkswagen transmission fluid. It won't tolerate the regular red Dexron ATF or ABRO stuff, and is one of the principal causes of transmission failure - running the wrong fluid.

Thanks a lot @siena
Can you help with a new valve body..how much it would cost to get to me and if you have a reliable mechanic I can use. The problem is I live in portharcourt and not many experienced mechanics for the car. I would appreciate your help.

I can certainly supply a brand new valve body from Volkswagen.

As for a reliable mechanic, I supplied a Nairalander with a valve body for her 2006 Jetta 2.5 which was fitted by her mechanic. The car is running great, I'll contact her for details of her mechanic, who seems well versed in Audi and Volkswagen.
