Guest MoeBlunt Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 On the way to my bros cafe yesterday (15 Mile Journey) I noticed that when the car was in D, N was also lit up but the car drove absolutly fine?!?!?! When stopped at the lights I tried shifting out of D through to R but it wasn't having any of it as if I was driving over 10mph... The N light also blicked in no real sequence... When I got to my bros cafe I tried shifting up through to park but it was just stuck...So I pressed the red button and shifted through to R and P, when I shifted through R and P no other modes lit up and it moved freely between R and P?! I later discovered that it also moves freely between 1-3 without any problems or other modes lighting up, so it's only D and N that light up when either one of them is engaged... Eg. When in D, N comes on and randomly flashes... When in N, D comes on and randomly flashes... Once again it does not affect driving what-so-ever!!?? Any help would be much obliged...

Abz Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Are you saying that you can not still shift between D to R? An when you say it doesn't let you shift between D & R like when you are doing more than 10mph, are you saying that you shift to reverse while the car is moving? If the drive is not effected & you can move through all the gears and drive them fine then don't worry to much about the problem if it is just the flicking lights on D & R. I'd reset the ECU (Not sure if you can maybe reset the gearbox ECU) then see how that goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When stopped I could not shift between D to R and it felt 'stuck' and there was a rumbling noise coming from it... I could only move through the gears if I press the red button. I drove it today and the problem didn't re-occur? I'm confused now... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Duggie Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I used to have an FTO tiptronic with similar problems. If it comes back try resetting the ecu by disconnecting the battery overnight should do it. See how it goes. Duggie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecoup Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 the only problem i had with mine not shifting was a fault in the brake light circuit not removing the lock on the gear stick, but this is not a vvti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
