I have a 99 Passat 1.8 turbo. The starter went bad the other day. Changed the starter,car now starts.The wierd thing is all the gear selections are showing on the dash PNDR432 at the same time. The other thing is it shifts into 1st gear hrd when slowing down. I put it in drive and it shifts thru the gears. Shift down into other gears and it stays in high.The manual shift mode is no longer working.Seems like something electronic to me.Anyone have a clue as to what this is?
Thanks for any help

Mike

you will need to have the trans codes reset
it is in failsafe for some resaon
you could try unhooking the batery but you might need to take it to a shop to have them reset

Thanks for the info. I will give the battery a try. I just hate taking it to a dealer.
