Have you lost 1st, 2nd and reverse? Yes? 1.8 litre engine?This is a common fault on the gearbox. (They use it on Audi TT's). Your best option is to get it to a gearbox specialist. Trying to fix this at home without the correct tools could take you days. The problem is inside the gearbox. A rivet holding one of the gear selectors in position has snapped. A major effort to repair a simple problem.

For the slow pick up of speed, change the EGR valve. A bad exhaust Gas Emissions valve will make it impossible to pick up speed or climb a hill of any kind. Fix the exhaust system leaks also, That could make the Oxygen sensor not work properly and cause the check engine light to come on. Once you've done all repairs, other than what I've told you, the light will not go out on it's own. You need to take it back to Auto Zone and have them turn it out electronically.

first check the fuses, then the brake light switch above the brake pedal , be sure all bulbs are ok

check the shifter as it should have the reverse contact in the console, if the shifter has some play in it then the contacts for the switch could have become damaged.. good luck

Worst case scenario would be the transmission itself, but it sounds like the transmission mounts to me. Hope this helps!

Hi, is your car a VW and you need a manual or is it a VW manual (not automatic). My best bet if you need the vehicle manual is to google it. All the best.

check your battery condition, check charging system, check battery clamps for corrosion. Hot engines require more energy to crank it. No matter how good a condition your engine is, if starter cranking speed is not reached, engine will never start. so check the first 3 mentioned above, and if all are in order, possibility is your starter needs cleaning or carbon brushes need replacement or starter commutator where brushes are in contact needs cleaning. good luck
