I got my car from the VAG workshop today, after 3 weeks! They changed the microswitches around the gearstick, and also the giver for the gearbox axis rotations. Although they couldn´t make a proper ground adjustment, and was about to switch the control box for the gearbox. However, they also checked at last the bar going from the gearstick to the gearbox, and found that the ballscrew at the gearbox was about to loosen from the gearbox by vibrations. When tightened the ballscrew, everything works fine again! I also got 700 Euro more poor by this. I just cant understand why the workshop didn´t check all mecanic parts first of all, instead of running into the wall by just checking the electronic parts. However, I´m happy of having a working car again. Stefan

Yesterday while running my car I understood there was problems with the 5th gear. From start, giving gas, everything seems OK. But when car should go into 5th gear it seems to need 2-5 seconds extra before it went into the highest gear. The problem came back everytime I had to drive slower and then accelerate again up to 90 km/h or higher. It seems that it couldn´t decide if it should run in the 4th or 5th gear, and the 5th gear didn´t want to work until I just lifted the gas pedal some few millimeters. Have anyone had a similiar problem, and what did you do to solve it? Stefan S

Dear friend, Have you found any solution yet to your problem? I have got the same with my A2 1,2 -02, which has run for 99500 km almost problem-free. I would be glad if you could tell me anything about your solution. Stefan
