Probelm With Cheffstageas S2- A/t Light On

[kidafa]

Hi. Im posting this up for Adam (cheffstagea) as he is currently at work and will be till late-as hes a cheff duh! So he was hoping to have some replies when he gets home.

He says his sereis 2 stagea is having the following issues:

It does not not drop gears when planted.

It feels like its taking off in 2nd.

A/T light flashes 15 times on startup.

In tiptronic mode 1 and 2 still have the sluggish feel.

Also feels like the clutch might be skipping.

He also tells me that the fluids seem to be fine and Yes he's checked the attessa resivoir.

Any one have anyideas?

Thanks in advance.

I'd say start with the simple things first, like check the level and condition of the A/T fluid. Make sure there's enough in there, and make sure it's the right colour.

Beyond that, maybe try reset the ECU?

Sorry I can't be of more help, I'm not much chop with Auto boxes.

check the snow switch on the console the missus keeps knocking it in ours and its as sluggish as ie takes off in second etc

Yeah he told me that it feels as if its driving with the snow switch on even when its off.

run this diagnostic, or count which AT flash is the longest on startup, it will correspond to the fault.

hey mike

what would your missus be doing in chef stagea's car?

Nice call hahaha....

Cheff and I both agree their is alot of room in the back of the stags.... I seem to think the majority of stag drivers have familys and are older than cheff and I 18.... So your missus is sort of out of the question, but your daughters.... We'll leave it their haha

got home eventualy! so the at light goes on as usual when u start up. just like airbag etc comes on n shortly after they all go away. exept the at light goes on for bout 2 sec then 15 flashes follow it. it wont go into 1st or 4th. seems like the thing that tells it to change has gone to sleep. what do i do :S all those pages ment nothing to me :$ and im ment to b running a stag cruise on sat!! HELP i thaught it might be snow switch but its not. 2nd intercooler pipe fell off.. not that either. in trip tronic i cant select ANY gears. the only way to choose 2nd or 3rd is the actual place on the gear stick. and when its in D its just the same as 3rd (no jolt to indicate a shift or revs dont change) reverse seems to b fine btw. and also is it safe to drive at all :S i limped home but duno if im keen on that to often chers guys

btw fluid is full, and a slightly transperint yellowish colour :S this normal? and re setting the ecu. battery off. break a few times? will that do it?
