Big Problem, Tiptronic please help

Post by ft02nv »

Ive recently went for a drive, as i was coming back home ive come into a really big problem,
When i press the accelerator the car starts to stutter and feels like its slipping and doesnt want to move anywhere,
it happens more as i push the accelerator pedal down more,

Please anyone have a solution to this problem as it is a Tiptronic i dont know what it could be.

Car is running fine overall only this problem..

Yes basicly as you described, the car revs but doesnt want to go, if i press it slowly it picks up very slowly, its a auto 4 speed and now today it goes only on gear 3 and the N sign flashes, i think its a really big problem, PLEASE HELP !

aslong as used correct fluid and proper amount next will be either fuse or input speed sensor or torque converter.

But first check error codes mate
