hello all, supernoob here.
I've bitten the bullet and bought a used '05 passat TDI wagon with 122k on it. It drives like butter, but I've noticed that the tranny wants to stay in manual shift/tiptronic mode when I reverse and then go back into drive, or if I select drive after being in the manual shift mode. I have to shift back into neutral and into drive sometimes multiple times to get it to stay in Drive mode rather than remain in manual gear select. Ive had the car for all of 3 days so may have hit some button I'm not aware of-bloody germans, always making things overly complicated- I've read somewhere that this could be a shifter magnet issue. the tranny shifts super smooth and has no issues upshifting/downshifting and I have no error codes on the dash......any ideas?
Cheers
