NestorLupo3l Posted August 1, 2023 Report Share Posted August 1, 2023 Hello, have a problem with the 3l automatic transmission. when I'm driving, suddenly in the middle of driving, it shifts out of gear and loses the gas pedal. the engine just idles. and then I have to stop and turn off the engine, then when I start it again changes gears normally without any problems, but after a few kilometers the same thing happens again....does anyone know what it is about...no mechanic knows what it is about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAB Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 Check the level of the hydraulic fluid. To check, unplug the pump unit electrically. Undo the accumulator half a turn with a 24mm spanner. Then tighten up the accumulator then check the level in the reservoir. It should be within the rectangle on the side of the reservoir. Top up with VW steering fluid. Then reconnect the pump module. If you have a leak somewhere, sort it out otherwise the problem will re-occur. You have to be proactive will 3L maintenance.
