Passat (B5) :: 1999 Won't Engage In Tiptronic Mode
I am having problems with the car disengaging from park even with the brake depressed, so I decide to remove the shifter cover and will doing that i lost/broke the cover strip and magnets so now my tiptronic will not engage. Where I can get them from and what could cause the shifter to lock up in park. It releases after a while but you have to depress and release the brake pedal and pull on the shifter at the same time.

I have a 2004 Phaeton V8 with about 68K miles. The transmission works great in both Drive and Sport mode but the shifter doesn't want to move to the right to engage Tiptronic mode most of the time. I can get it into Tiptronic about 20% of the times I try. Isthis indicative of any bigger problem?

I got into my car about 5 minutes ago and while driving i noticed a ample amount of power loss. I would go half throttle and my rmp's would go up by my speed seemed lacking even full on it it seemed to be lagging and was a slow climb to 60. Could it be my turbo not putting out or something more serious. Its a 99 1.8t ....

View 4 RepliesPassat (B5) :: Tiptronic Shifter Would Not Work
I have a '98 1.8t and my tiptronic shifter would not work so I did some research and found out about the magnets usually fall off inside the console. Sure enough, mine had fallen off. I glued it back on and my tip still will not work. When i slide the shifter over nothing happens, it just stays in automatic.
I was wondering if there was another switch somewhere or something inside the transmission that just doesn't work anymore.

My girlfriend has a 2002 passat 1.8t with the tiptronic tranny... its not throwing a cel but while driving in regular drive mode it seems to have problems downshifting... not all the time but sometimes when you get on the gas and the tranny downshifts it slams* the whole car...
The only thing i can describe it as, is being in a manual car and just dropping the clutch in a lower gear with out giving it some gas to match the rpm's... brought the car to vw dealers and such but all say nothing is wrong and it is "normal"...
Passat (B6) :: Tiptronic Bucking / Clunking When Coasting Around 40 - 45 Mph
Still relatively new to this car and VWs in general. I have a 2.0T sedan with 39,500 miles. I've noticed this just about every time I slow to around 40mph and then accelerate again. It's like the car can't figure out what gear it wants to be in. I don't mess around with sport mode and rarely shift manually. No real problems accelerating, just a weird shimmy when coasting from say 50mph down to 40mph and then another clunk when I accelerate again.

View 2 RepliesPassat (B6) :: Tiptronic Modes Cuts Throttle?
I was driving in tip yesterday and some of time that 3-2 downshift is choppy b/c revs dont match. So i tried a modified heel-toe, timing it so that i pressed the gas while the engine was disengaged i got a little rpm boost but then nothing as if during the shift the throttle was cut. is this possibly a safety feature to prevent unnecessary wear? or is it just not possible with a tip?
View 6 RepliesPassat (B5) :: V6 Tiptronic - Momentary Loss Of Power
2001.5 V6 Tiptronic ... A few times in the last couple of months I've felt what I think is a quick lapse in power, like 1 sec. or less. I say "think" because sometimes a bump in the road, traction related, or some other perceived issue can feel strange, especially when cruising along on a smooth cruise-controlled drive.
Each time this has occurred I've been in cruise control, freeway driving, relatively low speeds (65 MPH) . No other signs of anything wrong, chimes, flickering lights, vibration, nothing.
I can't be sure this time around but it seems in the past it's been on the same stretch of freeway, perhaps the same spot. In other words perhaps just a subtle anomaly in the road ...
Passat (B5) :: 1998 VW V6 Tiptronic Motor Getting Hot And Missing
I have a 1998 Passat v6 triptronic I recently had a lot of work done on the car including a new throttle body I have noticed since I got it back from the mechanic after a short drive it starts to miss and you can actually feel the motor shaking around through the drivers seat, I had a couple of passengers in my car (back seat) and they could feel it too, seems to be fine when I first start to drive it but after around 5 minutes it starts shaking, I also noticed today when I got home I opened the bonnet and the motor seemed hot as did all of the parts around the motor including the water in the top up tank. friends keep telling me it could be my spark plug leads but I am more inclined to think it may be a coil, when I check the temperature gauge it is on half way and this seems to be normal for my car so it's not showing that the motor is getting hot.

Just wondering if it's possible to have the driving lights/fogs to turn on with the headlights when the switch is in AUTO? We prefer to just leave the switch in AUTO mode, but it defeats the purpose of even having the front driving lights as they are never used.

View 1 RepliesPassat (B5) :: Tiptronic Just Stopped Working / Transmission Won't Shifting?
Today when i started driving my car this morning the tiptronic just stopped working....I can shift into the manual column, but when I try to change gears, it just does nothing. I can't even tell if it works intermittently. It shifted up when i was trying to shift down in a few cases. When this would happen, the gear numbers would still pop up on the dash to tell me what gear i was in. Sometimes when I slide it into the manual column, it just remains in "auto mode" if you wil entirely.
The numbers don't pop up on the dash signaling manual mode, and trying to shift does nothing. I even had one moment where it was in "manual mode" when the selector was actually still in the automatic mode. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason. Sometimes it goes into manual but just wont shift, and sometimes it wont even switch to manual mode. What would cause this? It seems like such an odd problem, I would assume it's electrical...
