Hey guys!,

lately, my A/T light has been coming on and locking the car in limp mode. To date, resetting the car has solved the problem temporarily, but now the car is stalling in 1st gear when i come to a stop in tiptronic mode 65% of the time.

I have been doing some research and the general consensus is that the solenoid/s have died or developed problems in the gearbox. Is this true?

I havent however been able to find any specific information as to why the car is stalling in the tip-tronic mode. TO be specific I will come to a stop, the car will idle normally for a second and then drop well below 1000 rpm, and unless i plant the anchors on real hard and give it a kick the car will stall.

Im assuming these problems are related, but, im not a mechanic and i dont really know much at all asides from how to drive. So any guru expertise would be amazing and greatly appreciated.

If it is the solenoids, how much are they and where can i get them from?! Mechanics in my area are generrally lasy when it comes to servicing imports.

Thanks in advance for anyones time.

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
