    My 98 Passat have the same problem, it does not change to 4th & 5th gears. when RPM reaches 3000 the speed stays around 100 and engine is labouring. The dash board indicator stops showing the position ( D,R,P etc..) someone told me it looks like a transmission Solonoid problem. I am still waiting for an answer.

    Thank You CHILDERS80. As per your advise, I asked my mechanic to reset the OBD II computer system and it resolved the problem. The only thing not resolved is thet the display on the dash which shows the gear position did not come back to life. It is not working. Please help me out on this issue too.

High rpm while driving

Usually sign of a gear issue. It revs high when the gear is too low for the task. Should idle around 1000 rpm.
Onstar wont see this. Check the gear box. The garage wont charge you to look. Try an authorised dealer

My vw Golf 4 1998 model, engine 1.8 speed sensor is dead. now temporarily i would like to know if i have to drive 120km/h, what rpm do i have to drive at using the rpm meter?

roughly if you are doing 3000rpm you will be doing approx. 100 klms/hr or 60 mph at 120km/hr you would be around 3200rpms.; Remember this will be in o/drive or 5th

Revs seem higher than normal in my 2005 Suzuki Swift Sport (3.3rpm in 5th @ 100km/hr) - is this normal? I also have a really high fuel consumption rate

2 issues,
1: MPG, you failed to say MPG, 15mpg? or 39? is 39 low?
what MPG? you never said it?

2: rpm cruise. (what drive line, A/T M/T ?) what tranny?
first google hit , is this it? this yours?
engine: 1.5-litre 4-cylinder petrol, 75 kW/133 Nm
Transmissions: 5-speed manual, 4-speed automatic, FWD

3300 RPM in 5th and 100km
if you wish to now what is normal, find the final drive ratio, listed in the FSM. Id say this is normal. typical of tiny engines, with low torque.at lower RPMs.

if you have the A/T and IF the trannywere to slip, the TCM will infact throw DTC codes, telling you it did.
IS IT? (scan tools show you this fact as might that glowing CEL lamp on the dash, on driving.

RPM
my 1.6L spins 3000 RPM , at below tranny options valve counts.
54/59mph (104km/hr = 59) 5sp MT.
64.6 4sp A/T (goes fastest due to more aggressive OD + axle ratio is lower.)
56/.53 2sp A/T
see how drive line effects RPM? so will your cars options.

I have 1998 passat when i do 100km the rpm goes above 3000 it feels like needs a gear pls let me know what might be the problem

I am assuming that this is an automatic transmission and it would indicate that that the transmission is not shifting into high gear. The normal rpm range at 100km should be 1800 -2200 rpm's. A visit to the transmission shop would be my recommendation.
