MPV for up to £5,500.00 - what do you recommend? 29 Jun 2017 (Forum)
Whilst it isn't an absolute dealbreaker, therefore, I would prefer another automatic if possible. Thanks -
vauxhall corsa D - Corsa D 1.4 Automatic Gearbox Issues? 13 Mar 2014 (Forum)
My mother bought a Corsa 1.4 2009 about a year ago, it is a 1.4 automatic which I believe is a 4 speed. The car has around 15K miles on it but the gearbox has issues. Sometimes the gearbox will just not move out of the Park position. It has been to a dealer whom suggested she give it more time for the electronics to do their stuff before putting into Drive. -
DSG Transmissions 8 Jun 2013 (Forum)
BUT - stories of DSG issues abound, initially VAG dry clutch designs replaced by wet clutch designs for higher torque applications - but now issues with wet clutch DSGs - Ford Powershift has had complaints from drivers, in at least one case with Ford buying the car back. Now I've used traditional automatics for half of my 4 decades of driving and always laughed at the doomsters who warn that repair costs are so much higher than conventional manual gearboxes - yes they are higher but both types fail so rarely that no-one repairs gearboxes, manual or automatic, on ordinary cars these days so the cost difference is academic. -
What licence should I have? 1 Feb 2013 (Forum)
Now the letter i received on the revoking of my licence clearly states that i had to repass my test for a catergory i already held on my licence (obviously passing in a manual first time round, I was entitled to drive an automatic so i was of of the opinion that i hade fulfilled this). Are the DVLA correct in awarding me a automatic licence? because in my opinion i've passed another test in a catergory on my original licence as they asked me to do? -
Exeos Vs Skoda - Automatics CVT Vs DSG 19 Feb 2012 (Forum)
I have been looking at alternatives for a "nearly new" company car.. It needs to be a 2litre diesel with automatic gearbox, a good reliable runner and reasonably fuel efficient. After visiting several dealers, I'm coming down on either a Skoda Octavia with DSG or a Seat Exeo with their CVT transmission which fall neatly into my price range of around £16-£18k. -
Beware hiring an "automatic" car. 2 Nov 2009 (Forum)
I booked an automatic car for our holiday. I chose an Auris, out of interest, which happened to have an automated manual box. It did not have the conventional P on the quadrant. Instead you had to select R or a drive position on the quadrant else it was in neutral. -
Volkswagen Passat (2001 - 2005) - 02 2.0L VAS 50/51 can cancel the automatic window 7 Sep 2008 (Forum)
I have a VW Passat 2002 (B5.5), 2.0L, 85kW automatic. I had to replace the Yaw rate sender (G202), and people here adviced me to try only to clean the connectors. This is what i did, for now. Ths scanning also show that the driver's door latch need to be replaced (I had some problems with locking the drivers door). -

Vauxhall Vectra C (2002 - 2008) - 06 1.9CDTi automatic gearbox - jerky changes. 13 Feb 2008 (Forum)
I have a Vectra Design (April 2006) 1.9 CDTI (!50PS) automatic saloon. After 24.5K miles the gearbox started to make "jerky" changes when changing down when up to working temperature. This only happened when under load and from 6th to 5th or 5th to 4th, but not on the overrun, i.e. changing down under braking, or when just slowing down. -

Nissan Almera: manual or automatic? 4 Feb 2006 (Forum)
2) 1.5 or 1.8? The automatic only comes with the 1.8 litre engine, but if I don't go for auto there is the choice of the 1.5. Either will be more than powerful enough for me, and I can see a smallish difference in the fuel consumption, but is it true that the 1.8 is more reliable? -

Octavia in for an MOT at a different garage and the mechanic remarked that it was the first car he'd seen for years that was undersealed. At one time undersealing was automatic. When did the practice stop ? -
Any - Real MPG 10 Nov 2012 (Forum)
Would it be possible to make the data searchable by different category eg: 4X4 cars or automatics? This would make it a very powerful tool for comparing similar vehicles or characteristics. Just a thought.
