Folks,
This is my daughter's 2002 Jetta with the 2.0l (gas) engine, 01M automatic, 197,000 miles. She came home from college the other day and said the car wouldn't shift in to the top gear and that the engine was running high rpms on the highway. I took it for a drive and sure enough, it was stuck in 3rd gear. Driving 60 mph the engine was turning 4200 rpm where it normally would be around 2700 rpm.
Scanned with VCDS: no engine codes; Transmission showed 00258, 00260, 00262, 00264, 00266, 00270 (solenoids 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7). I saved the codes, then cleared them. Started the car and no codes came back. I also did a Transmission reset: [Select] [02 – Auto Trans] [Basic Settings – 04] Set Group to “000” [Go!] Press accelerator pedal all the way to the floor and count out loud 3 seconds. [Done, Go Back] Release the accelerator pedal.
Drove the car around yesterday for 40 miles or so and everything seems to be working fine. I've got a filter/gasket/fluid coming from IDParts today and will change the filter and fluid. Also going to spray some contact cleaner on the round wiring harness connections.
Any ideas on anything else to check? Thanks.
Eric
