    STUPID! I filled it up with gas instead of Diesel

    I had a similar reaction when I realized had filled with gas. My wife told me my face turned white after I told what I had done. Fortunately I realized it before driving.

    2002 Jetta Auto 286K

    I need some help with my auto tranny. It's locked in 3rd gear and will not shift to 4th. I can manually shift from 1st to 2nd and 3rd but doesn't shift to 4th. It also starts out in 3rd when in "D". A recent trip to the transmission shop proved to be no help. A code came up and the part related...

    Long crank/lots of white smoke - VCDS data
