sparky Paul Posted April 8, 2011 Report Posted April 8, 2011 (edited) If you have a search of the forum, you should be able to find quite a few threads regarding problems with the auto box. The main reason for this is that the VW automatic 'box fitted to the Galaxy is prone to failure, and a full overhaul at an auto gearbox specialist is not cheap. Because of these factors, good secondhand units are not easy to find, and invariably expensive. Unfortunately, remedial work is usually limited to replacing the gearbox fluid, there is some information regarding the procedure for this in the FAQ section. Some members have found problems with the wiring to the gearbox, and also problems with the ECU, these are also worth looking into... If fluid levels are okay, the next step should be to connect the car up to VAG-COM to see what's going on in the gearbox ECU. Edited April 8, 2011 by sparky Paul Quote

sip Posted August 14, 2011 Report Posted August 14, 2011 How did the garage in Forest Gate work out for you? I had to replace my auto box a while back and I paid (a garage near Haethrow) with Credit Card and two weeks later, no gearbox. Got my money back from the CC company and instead paid Quote
