Default Tiptronic magnets

After reading this it mentions that the magnet has to go in the right way because of the polarity. SO I removed the magnet and re-glued it with the opposite face. Put it back together and now it works a dream.

Excellent post and great diagrams. Spot on!
I had kind of the same problem with my Audi a4 2005, pennies got in between so I had to take it apart and I put A MAGNET backwards, that's why wasn't fully working.

Does anyone have a picture of the tip tronic magnet mount? Is it supposed to be a magnet mounted on the chrome sleeve of the shift lever? The only magnet that I see on this assembly is the one on the rubber mat for the PRND hall effect sensor pickups.

Default 09 1.4T

Hi guys. We have a 2009 1.4T which won't change gears in tiptronic/sports mode. Car drives fine in normal operation but as soon as you push lever over to engage manual switching it won't get out of first gear. Would this also be a magnet problem?

Thanks Grant (New Zealand)
