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.

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
