[S3cret]

Hey All ,

I have a 99 series 2 stag tiptronic , it used to go alrite some one took it for test drive

since then its not the same - cant use sterring shift light wont turn on

atm i got A/T light Flashing 16 times / i didnt find 16 on the codes list

lags like ass i believe its stuck in 3rd limp home mode ? have tried various methods of rectifying to no avail ... Read through the old posts about auto issues - tried reset ecu - 10 X on off - disconnect battery

still not working - planning to get synth oil in the box ? any reccomendations would be awesome -

im from melb northern suburbs any good auto places ? to do diagnostic - Roughly how much to fix ?

Thanks in advance

Regards S3cret

Shift solenoids could be dead?

No idea about where you could take it in Melbourne for a diagnosis, but I'm sure any auto specialist can can give you a few ideas.

16 flashes just means there is a fault, you need to run the diagnostic procedure for the trans.. it's the same procedure as for 34GTT auto, there are a couple of threads about it.

Random thought, checked the snow button? Would explain the "lag".

100% shift solenoids are dead.

Try contacting MV Automatics for the solenoids and see who in your city can install them.

happened to me exactly the same. from memory think it was ~$450-500 for new shift solenoid rack. make sure you get the right one! ie. contact MV's

Great, after posting my useless reply to this months ago I am now having the same issue. When car gets hot it goes into limp mode, power is non-existant. Turn car on and the A/T light is flashing, not sure how many times havent counted. Giving me the sh*ts.

I just moved to SYDNEY (havent updated yet), is there an MV automatics here somewhere? I looked but cant find one, is there somewhere else to take it to, PLEASE SYDNEY PEOPLE help me out!! I'm near St Peters if that matters.

PLEASE HELP!!

You could try these guys. http://www.kmtransmissionservice.com.au/location.html They were reccomended to me when my box spat it. Ended up getting it done in canberra . Closer to where I was at. Good luck.
