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.

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
