Hello all,
I have done a ton of reading on here but this is my first time posting. I have a 2006 Jetta TDI that I am pretty sure hates me. My father-in-law gave me the car after it sat for 6 months. My first day driving it left me stranded 2-hours from home. After some reading on this site I figured out it was the immobilizer. So I sent my ECU away for the immo delete treatment.
Today I fired it up, immo delete worked and the car is starting fine however it is running on 3 cylinders and THE AUTO TRANS NO LONGER WORKS!! With the car in D it will drive in 1st gear but will not shift. I am however able to shift the gears in the manual mode.
Other than the immobilizer issue this car ran beautiful. The ECU gets flashed while the car sat in a heated garage and now it doesn't run properly and the transmission doesn't work! Could some sort of mistake during the flash cause these issues or do I just have really bad luck?
I have been searching but have not found anything similar, but sometimes you need to know what to search. Let me know if you know of a thread I should read or if you can help. thanks!
