Hello all,

I am new to this forum but hopefully I can get some help...

I have a 2005 Passat TDI 280,000 miles and have been maintaining this vehicle pretty good.

Almost all work has been done at the dealer.

Recently one morning driving to work heard a 'screeching' sound from the console area for a about 5 sec.

I drove about 30 miles to work without any problems.

On my way back home the engine light appeared, so I took it to the dealer.

They said it was code P0741 but indicated that they couldn't handle the problem and advised to take it to one of the local transmission shops.

Which I did.

The mechanic told me it was the Torque converter Lock up solenoid.
He was trying to get the info from the dealer in Canada where I took the car in but was unable to get the info for which solenoid it was or couldn't get the info from his supplier.

Anyway I spent a while getting the info from VW and ZF and bought the part

from reviewing the info on this link which idicated it was

-EDS4 from the valve body....

I bought the part and it was replaced, however when I took it out for a drive the light came back on...


I need some help here....


One link from Keithuk Dec 12/12 indicated that its

-Pressure regulationg valve 4 (N218) which is I think EDS4
and - Solenoid valve 7 (N94)

any ideas

My transmission is

ZF 1058 030 106 VW GMR
01v 927 333


We took off the pan and the pic from the dealer showed a single valve body but the one on the vehicle looks different like a double valve body



The car drives ok and shifts ok at low speeds but when i take it on the highway it revs at a higher RPM
