Why won't a Volkswagen car move when in gear?
1 Answers
A Volkswagen car not moving when in gear may be due to a comprehensive functional failure involving the clutch, transmission, and drive axle. During diagnosis, the faulty part should be identified first. You can start by checking the condition of both wheels. The diagnostic sequence generally proceeds from the drive wheels forward through the rear axle to the drive shaft, then to the transmission, and finally to the clutch. Reasons why a Volkswagen automatic transmission car won't move when in gear: The P-lock mechanism is stuck and cannot reset; the shift solenoid is damaged and cannot complete the shift command; the gear cable is damaged or broken; the transmission computer is faulty. Reasons why a Volkswagen manual transmission car cannot engage fifth gear: It may be caused by wear of the fifth gear inside the transmission.
