Have your car plugged in for fault codes, I suspect you have a turbo fault, maybe just an actuator or waste gate fault, but code reader will identify

Anonymous Oct 26, 2010

The code reader will only show turbo in limp mode. Could be 1 of 4 issues with the worst being a seized waste gate actuator which is attached to the turbo, and this will cost you over $1,500 to have repaired. Mine goes into the garage on Thursday (not a VW garage) I let you know how they fixed mine.

1st and 5th gear jumps out of it's position. Revers gear do's not engage gear from time to time

if this is a manual gearbox then its the indent springs in the selector rod movement inside the gearbox and this will involve removing the gearbox if i have correctly located the fault ,but without the make and model of vehicle i cannot say for certain as it could be the gearchange mechanism movement inside the cars cab and if tis cable then a outer sheaf on a cable could be loose and come out of its crimped holder

I have a 96 Jetta that is stuck in 1st gear. The linkage cable is working but the car wont go outta 1st!

The transmission is shifted with a computer. The computer needs input signals in order to make a shift decision, There are three speed sensors (input,output,and vehicle speed) that must work for a shift to be comanded. I wouldrecomend you sheck for stored codes and check the vehicle speed sensor.Is the speedo working?
