Newbie question regarding TCU and possilbe symptoms
Help!! I bought my daughter a used 2005 VW Beetle GLS Convertible w/a 1.8L Turbo engine. When I took it to the mechanic he said there were a couple of Transmission Faults
#01045, Indicating Tripronic Switch (F189), Not a Plausible Signal
#01317, Indicating Control Module In Instrument Cluster (J285) No Signal/Communication, Intermittent.
Recently, her car stick shift has been getting stuck on occasion, not allowing her to shift from Reverse to Park. She has to turn the car on & off a few times to get it to move.
From what I've read online, it sounds like a bad TCU can be causing the problem which produced the fault codes but would this be the source for the sticky shifter as well? No lights appear on the OBD....any help would be greatly appreciated!
