OT: Auto Gearboxes - general

Only my wallet !!

In low ratio it the torque converter would win.

I've always thought hill start assist would be a waste of time on an auto.

Given the low proportion of people who buy autos I suspect there are not many people out there with your experience. So we can't really say whether it is a fault specific to your vehicle or whether it is an inherent design fault I can only suggest you are now in the area of fitness for purpose or whatever the correct term is and approach it from that angle - say to VW (in writing) fix it or have it back.

Evening Hugh

My father-in-law has started down the rejection route. VW offered him =A317K for the vehicle. Not bad I suppose when you consider that he bought it in September for =A323 or =A324K and it now has 60 - yes Six Zero - miles on the clock. His next step is to sue them. Fortunately both he and my wife are solicitors ;-). Having said that, things are on hold while he has his fractured arm and hip dealt with followed by his coronary bypass. Cars seem very unimportant with all that on his plate.

Will post something to the group if/when it's resolved.

Ask them to do it for the rest of us.

Good luck

Thanks Hugh

Miraculously, the fractured parts of his femur have been screwed together today under local (!) anaesthetic. SWMBO stated tonight - when she surfaced from her post-relief-of-stress-migraine - that it is the first time since before Christmas that she has stopped worrying constantly.

Cheers

Richard
