MrT Posted December 25, 2005 Report Posted December 25, 2005 Is this a feature on the very latest models ( ie 2004/5) or all models? Quote
johnb80 Posted December 25, 2005 Report Posted December 25, 2005 The two brake switches on my car work at slightly different positions, the brake lights come on first and then with a little more travel the solenoid operates to release the gear lever. Neither of these positions has any effect on the creep ability of my Gal which seems perfectly normal compared to all the other Auto's I've had. From a theory point of view I don't see how the torque converter could actually disengage so I suppose the autobox would have to go into neutral for this to work ?If it is a definate fault I have a years warranty left so I need to know!

Guest MATT Posted December 25, 2005 Report Posted December 25, 2005 i will do what GSMGuy has said, and see what happens. MATT Quote
GSMGuy Posted December 26, 2005 Report Posted December 26, 2005 Also if ya have acxcess to TIS (can't find my disc) then loog under workshop manual/Galaxy/Vehicles with AG5 autoi trans... States it clearly there! Mike Quote
Guest vr6galaxy Posted December 26, 2005 Report Posted December 26, 2005 You mean this bit? Brake Pedal Position (BPP) Switch The BPP switch signals the PCM when the brakes are applied. The BPP switch is closed when the brakes are depressed and open when they are released. The BPP switch will also disengage torque converter clutch (TCC) when brake is applied. Quote
Guest MATT Posted December 26, 2005 Report Posted December 26, 2005 something i noticed, if you go down hill at say 50mph, and apply the brakes look at the rev counter - it goes right down to idle speed, this would suggest the engine is not in "drive" but is actually sort of coasting. i did the test GSMGuy said - and you do feel/notice a very slight change after a moment. SO/ GSMGuy is right. MATT Quote
johnb80 Posted December 27, 2005 Report Posted December 27, 2005 In that case I have a fault :rolleyes: Regards - JB Quote
El Dingo Posted December 27, 2005 Report Posted December 27, 2005 Mine sometimes does a 'snatchy' take up, especially after putting into drive. It's not serious, just mildly irritating. I must look in TIS... :rolleyes: Quote
MrT Posted December 27, 2005 Report Posted December 27, 2005 The TIS says "The 5-speed automatic transaxle is equipped with a static cut-out which switches the transaxle to neutral when the vehicle is stationary and a drive range is selected. This eliminates vehicle ""creep Quote
MrT Posted December 27, 2005 Report Posted December 27, 2005 If I sit there with the engine running, footbrake hard on and put it into drive I can feel the car squat. If I hold it on the handbrake and either press or release the footbrake there is no change in engine rpm. Release the handbrake and it will start to move off. There is no change in rpm as it goes in or out of gear. In the garage with the door open you can hear a whirring sound when in drive and none in neutral. There are no VAG-COM errors on the car at all. Whether there are any differences between models I don't know, but this and the previous 2.8 Auto have always behaved the same. Only possible errors with my tests were the gearobx and engine were cold and the temperature in my garage was 3.5C. Quote
