Volkswagen Passat auto - gearbox problems
I am having some problems with the gearbox in my 2003 Volkswagen Passat automatic. It drives fine most of the time, but jolts when I stop and change into neutral and back to drive or reverse. After that it won’t drive properly and feels like it’s in a high gear, with limited power. Any ideas?

Reads like a failing servo valve box to me. Get it checked at a member of www.fedauto.co.uk

A better drive and better equipped than the previous Passat. Comfortable and has more status than, say, a Ford Mondeo.
