Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • auto gearbox issue

    Hi all, good mate of mine has a mk3 with auto box (vr6 to be exact). When putting into drive, gearbox gets stuck in gear and won't change into other gears. If you put it back into park and the drive straight after... Problem goes away. As you would imagine, needs to do this every time starts car.. Any ideas on what could be causing this? Anyone experienced anything similar? All help appreciated....

    Check that the shifting mechanism on top of the transmission is tight and secure.

      How does he drive it when he first starts the car? I had this problem as well. How I fixed it was drive like a granny for the first 5 minutes and let everything warm up. After that you can start driving in a spirited manner.

        He's 55. Surely shouldn't have to do that though. He just wants to get in and drive
