Car has under 105,000 kms or 63,000 mi. At around 60,000 kms, 2 years ago, I did a routine auto trans service where I drained the oil & replaced the filter . Mechanic reported that the oil was quite darkened. We flushed the system completely with 12 litres though. Now recently the mechanic said an error code is coming up, Gear monitoring code, but I can't tell you the actual code number right now. Checked the transmission again & found the oil to be blackened & maybe burnt. No metal filings but there must be problem to cause this. Possibly a slipping clutch plate?
My mechanic said that the transmissions are something he doesn't work on. To complex & very expensive to repair. What I'm looking for is advice.
Anyone else have this type problem? I'm disappointed in that VW couldn't engineer a transmission strong enough for the engine. Has anyone gone back to VW & argued a good will warranty over this issue?
