Select the transmission controller, get the fault codes.

Default Yes My earlier post was reverse not functioning. I spoke with a tech who said something about..
scanning the Trans Electronics.

It won't show any fault codes when the F seal lets go

Default Ah, OK. As Paul says, there are no electronics involved in a seal.
VAG-COM is just a tool. It's a very good one, for our cars, but it isn't magic, it doesn't do everything, it isn't a be-all, end-all.

Default I remember Paul saying that about the seal. It was just something that was brought up by someone I
know.

The car is now at the Dealership and I am waiting to hear.

Thanks!

True, but it was worth checking for an open circuit to whatever valve controls clutch F
