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,

  • VW Jetta jerky tiptronic change downs

    Hi there, I own a 2008 VW Jetta 2.0 FSI Tiptronic which has given me 5 1/2 years of generally trouble free and refined motoring. However in the past month I have noticed that it gives very sudden and jerky transmission changes, mostly under sudden braking. It is an intermittent issue but is quite noticeable and out of character for the car. It has only done 60,000 kms and was serviced in July, I have checked blogs and comments indicate it needs transmission top up or there is a known issue in the tip tronic changing down from 3rd to 2nd, can anyone please verify this or provide feedback? Also for the past 2 years my low tyre pressure warning light has come on, I have pumped the tyres and last w/e bought new tyres which made the warning go off until this after noon when it came back on again. Can anyone please advise if they have had similar issues and whether it is a sensor problem or a problem with the alloy wheel? Appreciate anyone's feedback to these issues regarding an otherwise outstanding car thanks Alec
