Dear all,
I have a 1.2TDI (3L) and since 3 days ago I have a problem related to the gearbox: sometimes when I to want to go to reverse gear it doesn't work, the clutch stays open and the engine just idles, it's like being on neutral (in fact that's the indication I have in the dashboard, i.e. 'N'). Other times it just works fine. Otherwise the gearbox works OK (either in automatic or tiptronic)
Also, but only yesterday, after less than a kilometer from starting the car, I had a blip warning sound and the dashboard showed up an oil "jar" with the word 'sensor' for a few minutes and then it disappeared (this happened twice during the day). Today I had no warnings but the gearbox failed sometimes to go to reverse.
Once, having the gear selector in reverse (but with the before mentioned problem, i.e. 'N' showing up), by slightly pushing the gear selector in the direction to parking position (S), the gearbox would indeed go to reverse (I could clearly hear it).
I have read here quite a few posts related to gearbox problems (with 3L version) and I'm aware there can be many different reasons for.
Can any of you "quickly" point the probable problem? Do you think the problem is probably related to oil level or low pressure in the hydraulic system or do you think it's something related to the need of a gearbox calibration / electronic gear selector switch?
Thank you very much for you help.
Best regards,
Miguel
