yungkizzymiami: Water and auto transmission are enemies. The water is still there, even after your drain and refill. I am afraid you are faced with replacing that transmission. |

As someone earlier said,water and auto transmission are enemies, though considering that ur transmission still works manually, there may be hope. You can consider doing a transmission flush. This would need u to put fresh oil, open the transmission cooler hose then start the engine. Observe the oil that comes out till u start seeing the new oil. Stop the engine, close your cooler line and refill the oil. |

yungkizzymiami:https://www.nairaland.com/2724025/gear-selection-issue-golf-3 Am not an auto mechanic bt from my own experience., get the transmission scanned for solenoid related issue and if it shows valve solenoid issue then ur clutch fibres are still good which I think is still good since u can manually shift the gears.. U either get a new solenoid kits and get it replaced. U can also check if ur TCU has bn fried. In my own case,I couldn't get a new solenoid kit bcus of dollar cost frm Ebay,the harness and solenoids are $157 and when converted to naira u wl see its higher than a replacement. I finally replaced my gearbox,took out my valve body from the old gearbox and kept safe. Once I got a better deal I wl buy the solenoid valves/ harness and replace it and wl hv a spare gearbox. VW 01M auto gearbox are very fragile and prone to issues and the gearbox oil cooler is a bad engineering by them. |

Jumping from frypan to fire. Most auto transmission golfs here in naija are killed by the car owners themselves. If you want a piece of mind. Transmission replacement is the way out. Now back to the frypan to fire word. Who says mobil atf is the right transmission oil for your golf? Get the vw transmission oil and stop doing more harm than good. If you need the problem solved call multi autolab on 08165520837 or 08156087872. Bbpin is 7BE1C522 1 Like |

yungkizzymiami: Until you can state EXACTLY what model of VV Golf IV you have, and what EXACTLY was replaced, I can't offer you any help or advise. An intercooler is only fitted to turbo models (1.8T / 1.9TDI). An intercooler on a VW Golf IV would suggest your engine is NOT a 2.0, more likely a 1.8 20V turbo (petrol) or a 1.9 8V direct injection (diesel). So what engine do you have, and what year is your car? Why was the throttle body replaced? Which Mobil ATF was used, and why only 5 litres? 1 Like |
