You should have 8,000 views. Great video all my solenoids ohm'd out in spec, but I replaced all of them. Now trans shifts like new. Thank you very much!!

Thank you for the video I have a 05 gli 1.8t that has the same problem thought it was the whole transmission so went ahead and replace the whole transmission and still have the problem

Gracias, Gracias en base a sus videos reparé la falla de mi jetta tdi 1.9 codigo de falla 00652 reemplace los 9 solenoides y fin del problema. Saludos....

Thanks for sharing Richard.

Hi, Thank you so much for this video as I am having exactly the same problem with my 2003 GTI that I spent a fortune over the years to maintain it because the VW dealers in my area are nothing but huge ripoff. Anyway, the transmission right now will not shift out of the first gear when the car is parked overnight or whenever the car is not warmed up. Once the car is warmed up, the transmission shifts like brand new. I took the car to dealer and they wanted over $9K to replace the transmission and some other electronics. After searching the web, I found out that other people have the same problem and it is due to these solenoids getting stuck. I am willing to work to replace these solenoids but I was told by more than one VW dealer that if I replaced the transmission fluid, which is what I was planning to do when replacing the solenoids, the transmission will likely not work after that because I never replaced the transmission fluid and I have 155K miles on the car. The reason why I never replaced the transmission fluid is because the manual said that the fluid does not need to be replaced which later on was determined to be a bad idea. My question to you is if you can tell me whether or not this is true based on your experience. One shop told me that after replacing solenoids, the transmission got stuck in reverse within few minutes of starting the car so that worries me. If this is true, what can I do short of replacing the whole transmission? Look forward to hearing from you, AJ

Great video, bought a 1.8t gti to flip and I have a O2m swap included with the sale but the 09a is stuck in first gear gonna replace the n92.

@12:40 here in Germany it's installed in an Audi A3 Model 8L too. Like my sister's one is combined with a 1.9tdi with 131hp.

I wasn't aware that this tranny was used / also available in different cars. Cool!

By the way, do you have the part numbers on hand for all solenoids. And do you use the OEMs from VW or better aftermarket ones? Thanks in advance Carsten

Very helpful video. My 2006 Jetta TDI has been exhibiting these symptoms for going on 2 years now, now I just need to know how to locate good quality solenoids. Is there a specific brand or seller that you would recommend?

I saw somewhere you posted not to use a cork gasket that is found in the kit from cobra. Do you have any recommendations on where to buy a 09A solenoid kit for a mk4?

Hi Richard, thank you for sharing this video. I have a 2003 GTI 1.8T. The car shifts fine from 1-2, 3-4, 4-5. The issue is from 2-3. While going from 2-3 the transmission shifts early and delays going into 3rd causing the rpm’s to rise. It does eventually shift into 3rd after the delay, but I have to let off the gas so that it doesn’t jerk when going into third. Also, sometimes when the car is cold, it does not shift into 3rd and stays stuck in 2nd. Is this something you think could be caused by an issue with the solenoid? Thank you!

I have a 2000 VW Jetta GLS 2.0 engine with automatic transmission, when I took it to the garage months ago it had the 00652 Gear Monitoring Code. They gave me information to what they would fix first and said that if I had someone to do it it would be cheaper because money is tight. It was replacing the multi- function switch. I already fixed the speed sensor on the transmission also. The car still does not work and stalls out in reverse right away. Last time I drove it, the car didn't go past 20 mph. Do you think that changing the fluid would help? Or maybe it is the solenoids? And if so how much does that usually cost? There are a couple other suggestions like- Replace Gearbox speed sensor, or replace clutch or Valve Body. Thanks for making this video btw. There are not a lot of video to answers to some VW jetta problems. I would appreciate your response greatly also.

hi, like your vw video,s, I got a 96 golf ,no shift in any gear. I do know temp is busted.would this be cause, or is this just 1 problem. I don,t want to replace the ribbon if this isn,t main problem.any ideas will be appreciated.from Australia hope you keep making vids.

kind of layed up, cannot slide under the VW for a couple weeks, any chance, whats your thought on a bottle of some sort of trans medic to free up the solenoid for a short while?

Thanks for video, I have a 2002 audi 1.9tdi automatic, I have no reverse gear anymore, could this be N90, when scanned it showed Vehicle speed sensor G68 but cleared nothing again, still no reverse but all forward work fine

I have an 09g with issues. Where are you located? What is the cost of solenoid replacement vs entire valve body replacement? Thanks for you vid!

At the beginning you said before we start. Make sure there isn't a delay when cold. I has been delaying. My code says P0470 torque converter clutch solenoid circuit

Hi, I have 02 Jetta 1.8T with 09A transmission, I had a limp mode problem. Ordered all solenoids, replaced them, used VCDS to do adaptation. Still have a 2 to 3 shift. I did drain the transmission for what I could, then refilled with the same amount. Should I do a Throttle adaptation, or what else could help smooth this issue out? Also it's not really a bad feeling all the time, just some of the time.

HELLO GOOD MORNING, YOUR VIDEO IS VERY USEFUL. CAN YOU HELP ME KNOW WHICH IS THE JATCO JF506E REVERSE SOLENOID, I HAVE A FREE LANDER AND THE REVERSE DOES NOT WORK. THANK YOU SO MUCH

My 04 GTI 1.8T w/ jatco 09a is throwing p0773 continuously. Stuck in limp. I see it says “shift solenoid e electrical” in the code description, but nothing identifies a solenoid e when looking to buy the solenoid. Any idea which one is the “e” solenoid? Pulling hair here in TX. Thanks in advance.

Where do you recomend to buy a good set of solenoids for it. I have same year and engine. Thank you.

I have a 2005 gli Jetta (automatic) what brand do you recommend be buying?

Hello, i have a vw golf mk4 1.9 96kw with 09a trans and it started not long ago but it keeps geting worse, when you reach a higher speed and it seems to not shift into 4th or 5th gear and the rpms just goes up, so i guess replacing all the solenoids should help?

i have a mk4 2002 jetta and most of gears slip, i have to let go of the gas between 3 and 4k rpms for the gears to then switch, would u say its the solenoids or something else within the transmission?

Thank you for you knowledge..one question about this transmission if the delay when going into first gear is longer than normal is there a mechanical issue or can it be a solenoid issued too.

2012 Jetta Trans pan gasket-8 hole, do the metal inserts need be replaced or can they be reused?

Hey, I have VW Sharan 2004 with a jatco506e. So the issue I have is when the car gets hot, the reverse gear isn’t working. But its cold, it works fine. Do you have any idea which solenoid could be the one at fault here? Thanks in advance.

I have a 2009 VW TDI 2.0 Automatic trans It drives up to about 40mph and doesn’t go faster , Only codes I get is solenoid A Do you know where Solenoid A is located. And if that is the problem?

I have a 07 jetta throwing P2711 and won’t go into 4th, you think if I replace the output speed sensor it’ll fix it?

hi sir thank your for your video, my issue is car wont go in reverse i have checked all the solenoids and brake band also the pressure is good, i recently overhaul the whole transmission with master kit but still same problem. am i missing something out or could be another issue causing this? i have hard shifting in 1st and slip shift 2 to 3. no reverse but sometimes after a long drive reverse works but when i switch of the car and start it it wont go reverse. am out of ideas where to check.

Why solenoids sticks ,wear or due being dirty ?Some cleaning or ultrasonic maybe will help

Hello from Poland, I have exactly the same problem every morning, Freelander1 from 2004 on the tiptronic changes gears normally, but only when it reaches the drive temperature ... I replaced the N92 did not help, as I found your video still N88 and N89 and unfortunately it did not help either, oil I always have a clean replacement every 20,000 km or does not rub some piston on the cold in mechatronics ...?

I want to ask the guy in the video. Is that model transmission same as a 2000 VW Cabrio I want to replace the solenoids and do they come out and go back in the same as the 2005 jetta I have a book but its not showing me anything. I had it put on computer and its only showing i need on shifting solenoid but i want to replace them all. If you can help thank you.

Does this also cause it to go into limp mode after it starts shifting fine when it warms up

My dealership recommended a full transmission replacement for $8500 USD and when I told them I couldn't afford that, they said to replace the mechatronic unit for $3500 USD. Looks like they won't do solenoid replacements.

I’ve got the same upshift issue. 04 Jetta, but engine code p0732. Any ideas or recommendations?

If you please... I watched this video.. And i have 2005 vw golf 1.8t petrol with 09A transmission my problem is no reverse when the car is hot .. When it is cold i can get reverse.. once it is hot it can't get the reverse.. No fault codes in auto tras.. Is my problem with solenoids??? Thank you in advance

Just saw this video, can a overheated engine cause transmission to not shift from 2nd to 3rd.

My only problem is drive. Takes 5 minutes to go but then no issues until you park the car for a couple hours then have to wait again. Started years ago but getting to be a problem now.

How to remove them and what if u clean them not replace them

I have an 06 TDI BRM and it has a pressure control solenoid A stuck on, so I have no reverse. Everybody wants to sell me a transmission. Do you have a video on that

I replaced all my selonoids now I have no reverse but it was working before 😂

I have posted a detailed install for this valve body and listed all the parts links on my playlist. kzfaq.info/sun/PLUtVpnAFZXAyuCvXa2RAzNqcYFdbtBzYi @CoolAirVw Rm, good video, I don't know why people are scared of this transmission. I saw someone commented below about the gasket from Cobra, I ran it with no issues or leaks for the year after I installed it. Made the job much easier and less messy than using silicone. Also its good to mention that if your car still shifts hard when its hot and not just cold, it is most likely the valve body.
