tappers Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 I have the above car with about 92K on it and in the last couple of days have noticed a problem where by when I put the car into reverse if I press the accelerator the car makes a sort of juddering noice for a few seconds and then moves back? Any ideas on what it might be? I find if I put it into reverse and then leave it for a bit and then go backwards it is ok, could do without the gear box failing as I presume it is expensive?

Rustynuts Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 Have the transmission fluid checked (or better still changed). If it's getting low then that may have some impact on your gears. It's supposed to be a lifetime fill IIRC, and doesn't need changing, but nearly 100k is a good distance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mulkbear Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 I agree with Rustynuts, normally it is a sign off old and tired ATF oil. Also i am sure the service plan states that it should be changed at 80k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tappers Posted May 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 I am thinking of getting the brakes checked so may mention it at the same time. I hope it is only that as I was concerned it was a gear box failure orsomething and presume that would cost a fortune! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tappers Posted May 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 Car is going into the garage tomorrow so will see what they say! I hope they do not make up some rubbish about something else being faulty as that seems to be my current experience with VW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tappers Posted May 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 Well! Maybe someone could explain this! They said that the brake light warning kept coming on becuase of "a connector on brake light warning light wiring loom defective removed and replaced". But yet when the car was serviced a couple of weeks ago they said that the pads and discs were 75% worn but nothing this time????? Is it just that different technicians report different things or something else? With regards the juddering etc when reversing they said that they could not find anything and when I tested it before I left the garage it was also fine. Should I worry about this or just forget about it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
