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

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.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
