    In this video I demonstrate and describe the brief process on how to reset the engine and transmission control modules on VW, Audi, Skoda, and Seat vehicles built starting in the late 1990s equipped with an electronic drive-by-wire throttle. The steps to reset these modules is as follows:
    1/ Get into the passenger side drivers seat of the vehicle;
    2/ Close the Drivers Door;
    3/ Lock all of the Vehicles Doors;
    4/ Switch the Ignition to the Accessory position;
    5/ Wait for at least 15 seconds;
    6/ Push the Accelerator Pedal all the way down (as far as it will go) and hold it there for at least 30 seconds;
    7/ Whilst still holding the Accelerator Pedal down switch off the Ignition ;
    8/ Switch of the Ignition;
    9/ Remove your foot from the Accelerator pedal;
    10/ Remain sitting in the car (with all of the doors locked) for at least 3 minutes;
    11/ Start the Vehicle
    12/ Drive the Vehicle how you would normally drive for 15 minutes.
    By following the procedure outlined in this video it may help resolve potential transmission issues in your vehicle, but be advised that this is not a substitute for having a professional technician resolve major internal mechanical issues in your engine or transmission if the vehicle continues to have issues after performing this procedure.

    I have a 2017 passat rline 1.4tsi which is now 6yrs old, and developed a judder when pulling away in 1st gear. I was going to book it into a dealer at the cost of god knows how much, but after some searching, I found this video. All I can say is Wow! No judder and gear change is as smooth as silk, and the engine is definitely purring quieter now. Once again, thank you very much!!

    Thanks so much for this video. It saved me $8,500.00 USD. The dealership told me that it wouldn't accept the code and charged me $398.00 to hook it up to their computer. They said the electronics in the transmission were bad. They would have to replace the transmission for $8,500.00 dollars. It wouldn't shift past 3rd gear and was banging when shifting gears. Drove it home at 45mph. I saw this video and it took me 3 tries but now the 2007 VW beetle runs great. Dishonest dealership, I think so. Certified VW mechanics can't put the code in but I can by using this video. Thanks again you are the greatest.

Now it learned to shift nicely below 1800 rpm and shows consumption numbers I have never seen on that screen before. Thanks again

They dismissed my concerns since no lights were on but I knew it felt sluggish. Followed your steps and now it’s got its edge back! Responsive, getting better mileage, and much more enjoyable to drive. I live in sport mode and like to “drive it hard” haha. Can’t thank you enough!!

      @@luisfmoreno Hi Luis, sometimes mine is slow to engage either both reverse or drive. Funnily enough, it's actually my wife's car and she never notices it ... I think it's literally that I start the engine and then engage the transmission quicker than she does. So, what I typically do is start the engine before I get in the car and then I never notice the issue! Cheers Drew

    Awesome procedure, i've just instaled a new CAI, camshaft position sensor and upgraded the coil packs, so for a few kilometers the car was jerky and was doing "weird" stuuf over low RPM accelerations. After the reset the car felt stronger under acceleration and overall more reliable. Hope stays that way. Thanks for the video!!

I recently did the head gasket valve cover and still nothing had changed and limp mode was still on. Today I watched this video and unplugged my ground for a few hours and did this and it’s now out of limp mode. I’m still having problems w acceleration into gear but it’s driving. Thank you so much

    My 2024 Volkswagen Jetta had a transmission problem. The transmission fault light came on at a red light and would not go into gear. No forward or reverse gears. I shut the car off, let it sit for about 3 minutes. Started it back up and the transmission fault light went out and it drove normal. What's crazy is that the car was driving normal before the transmission fault. No funny shifting, no strange noise, nothing. That was about a month ago. Fast forward to today, it happened again. I actually stopped to get coffee. Came back out to the car, Started it and the transmission fault light came on and the car wouldn't go into gear, no reverse or forward gears. This time, it took about 15min for the transmission to reset itself. The car only has 45,000mi on it. I don't know if the cold weather has anything to do with it but I'm a little scared to drive it now. I'll try the technique that I just watched in this video and see what happens.

    I have an Audi A4 B9 from 2017 with the DL382 transmission. Today, I tried to drive off from a parking lot but only managed to go 20 meters before the car lost power. The error code P0811 appeared, indicating excessive clutch slippage. Just before this, the car was driving without any issues. Every time I try to drive in D of R again, the car loses power after 20 meters, and the error reappears. The car has 141,000 km on the odometer.
    Does this reset help with this issue? Thank you!

    Thank you for the information. I plan to test it in my 2008/2009 Audi A4 B8. It seems there might be an issue with the gears or shifting in my Automatic S tronic.
    While driving, it appears the gears aren't changing automatically in the D drive mode, seemingly stuck in the first gear I guess because I didn't hear any switch gear little noise.
    Only on Sport mode and manual mode, I notice shifts based on speed that are switching automatically and it looks good.
    I experienced a noise when starting my audi in P position today, giving gas for 15-30 seconds. Could this have caused the gear switch problem? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    I have a question. Have not tried this yet but my wife’s 2011 VW Jetta Se 2.5 has terrible jerking when gear shifting. Either when you are slamming the pedal in 1st gear or when you are about 3000 RPM’s it feel like they gears are slipping. And I have been told we need a new transmission. Also tried it in the manual mode and it gets jumpy when shifting. I did a tranny oil flush but no one seems to know the cause of it! Hoping this works!

    I have a 2012 Audi A1 with P283C Shift Fork C Position on the diagnostic tool. I can move the gear selector from P, N, R, and D, but when I start to drive, it is stuck in gear 2. I wait for few minutes and it is gone and can drive normally. then few days after, it comes back, then is gone again. I have booked for a transmission specialist but it would be good if you have some experience about it and if this method of resetting the transmission program might work on my car. Cheers!

      Hey mate... Sounds exactly like the problem on my 2014 Volkswagen Touran. Brought it to the mechanic and they've changed the mechatronics twice. They've also replaced the clutch and inspected the gearbox twice. They've cleared the error codes and I was told to collect the car. But when driving home the hi rev problems and intermittent stuck on gear 2-3 problems came back. I then asked them to tow back the car for repairs as I wouldn't want to be stuck on the highway in D but gears seems to be in N like it did a year ago. Maybe I can try this method of reset and see if the problem goes once I get the car back...

I've been told to check my speed sensor as it could be going bad and not entirely bad, so it does show sometimes on a scan. You could give that a try as it's not an expensive item to change. I've yet to order my replacement tho but I can give an update once I do

    I’ve been having transmission problems for like 2 months. It drives great around town shifts gears good no noises but everytime I go up a hill to go to work it starts to give me issues. It’ll start to high rev and when I try to slow down it’ll have trouble shifting gears then it’ll high rev and shift gears at like 4RPM. I don’t hear clunking or gears skipping but I can smell the transmission fluid. Then I basically let it sit then it works fine again. No check engine light either! I take it to shops but they don’t really know either. I’d appreciate any help it’s a 2011 Volkswagen Jetta SE about 120k miles just got a transmission flush but I didn’t do this method.

      So it’s only been 10 days I thought it was longer. But I made sure to come back and share.
      So I hope this isn’t a placebo effect but I do feel a difference after trying this. The car shifts more to my style, I drive it in regular mode and it shifts better, no jerk on 1-2-4-5-6 etc. slight jerk at 3 for me still. It’s an auto, but feels like a clutch slip. It’s barely there now though. So I’m happy with what I have now. In sports mode it’s clean shifting. When it’s warm the shifting is even better. All in all , I believe it did work and I’m happy with the results.
