What is the reason why the automatic transmission Bora does not move when shifting gears?
2 Answers
When the car does not move after shifting gears, it is a comprehensive functional failure involving the clutch, transmission, and drive axle. When diagnosing, the fault location should be determined first, and the condition of the two wheels can be checked initially. Brand Introduction: The Bora belongs to FAW and is a pure-blooded German car. FAW-Volkswagen was established in 1991. It is a large passenger car production enterprise jointly operated by China FAW Group Corporation, Volkswagen AG, Audi AG, and Volkswagen (China) Investment Co., Ltd. Subsidiary Brands: The subsidiary brands include Jetta, Bora, Golf A7, Sagitar, Magotan, etc. Shanghai Volkswagen is a Sino-German joint venture established in 1985. Shanghai Automotive Group holds 50% of the shares, Volkswagen Group holds 40%, and Volkswagen (China) Investment Co., Ltd. holds 10%. The subsidiary brands include Lavida, Passat, Santana, etc.
I've encountered this issue quite a few times during car repairs. When an automatic transmission vehicle doesn't move after shifting gears, the most common cause is a transmission problem. It could be due to insufficient or contaminated transmission fluid preventing the clutch from engaging properly, so the fluid level and quality need to be checked. Another frequent reason is a malfunction in the electronic control module, where sensors like the transmission input/output speed sensors fail, and the computer can't receive signals to execute commands. Don't forget to do a simple check to see if the parking brake is stuck and not fully released, or if the wrong gear was selected, such as neutral. Sometimes, damage to the drive shaft or differential can also leave the car immobile, especially in older vehicles. I recommend first trying to restart the car's computer or disconnect and reconnect the battery. If that doesn't work, immediately consult a professional technician to read the fault codes with a diagnostic tool. Don't delay, as prolonged issues could lead to complete transmission failure and much higher repair costs.
