Transmission fault in a 2011 Volkswagen Sharan - experiences and solutions

| 2011 | | Diesel

Warning light in the speedometer of the vehicle

Transmission slips/shifts erratically

Hey, I have a problem with my 2011 Sharan VW Diesel, which has already done 215,714 km. In a nutshell, my transmission shifts like it wants to and I have a warning light in the speedometer. I think the problem is that the control module is not working properly and sometimes the gearbox won't shift into park. Have you had similar problems? What was your experience with the garage? Hope someone has some tips for me. Thanks in advance!

Hi guys, thanks for the advice! Your tips have really helped me. I then took my car to the garage. The whole thing cost me almost 700 euros, but thanks to you I had already reckoned with that. Have a nice day and thanks again!

Hey, I had a similar problem with my 2014 VW Touran a few months ago. It was exactly as you described and I also had a light on the dashboard. After a visit to the garage, it turned out to be a control problem. The guys just adjusted the control module and everything was fine again. Hope this helps you!

Hey, thanks for the info! That reassures me a little. Can you still remember how much the fun cost you? Has anything else come up since then, or has adjusting the control module solved all the problems?

Moin, of course I remember - the whole thing wasn't exactly cheap. The repair to the transmission control unit cost me around €700. I haven't had any problems with it since. I hope this helps you! So, cheer up, everything will work out!

Hey, quite apart from the costs, I would first check whether the high mileage of your vehicle - 215,714 km is quite a lot - might play a role. Over time and with the increased mileage, all sorts of little things on the car can get out of kilter, including the control module. Maybe you're lucky and it really is just a small thing that's due. But to be on the safe side, I would have the car checked if I were you. You don't want your car to suddenly roll away, do you?
