Hello, in this video I show you how I fix my 1999 Audi a4 2.8 quattro tiptronic. When I bought the car a few months ago I noticed that when I put the shifter into tiptronic mode, it would not activate the tiptronic. This I found out was because my car was missing a magnet, and therefore would not recognize that I was shifting it into tiptronic. There are plenty of DIY's on the internet but I found no videos, so I made one myself :). Here is a link to a very helpful DIY: forums.vwvortex...
This should work with VW Passats's between the years of 1997-2001 with tiptronic as well as other Audi's with tiptronic. Please comment with any questions.
10yrs later and my 1999 Audi A4 has a second chance 😁😁 Thanks for not removing this as it greatly helped!!
Thank you! Worked perfect!! My has PRND red bar "non flashing" (STEADY RED BAR)
I desembled everything how the video and then cleaned all contacts with my finger and also the magnets, and IT WORKED !!! NOW IHAVE ALL GEARS AND ALL FULLY TIPTRONIC MODE (S)
Thank you!!!!!
All you did was clean them you didn’t have to replace it like he did ?
Best video tutorial ever I wasted so much time changing the transmission fluid filter tcm checking all the wires it was just this magnet all along. Thank you no prnd432 flashing dash and bucking the transmission in and out of limp mode
Why was your tiptronic going into limpmode when you would drive your car because my tip doesn't work at all
REVOLT TV Chang the muilty function neutral safety switch in the side of the transmission
Man what you show here its awesome thank you and F**K people complaining about video quality when you actualy solved a problem for a lot of us and save us a trip to the dealership... thanks man!!!
Thank you! I really appreciate this comment. I do have to agree with others that the quality is crap, but the fact that I have helped multiple people save money/time proves to me that it was worth uploading.
Your the best !!! Your tutorial helped me fix the same problem on my 2001 Audi A6 4.2 Quattro !!! You make TH-cam great !
daytrades4me Glad I could help!
Thanks for this vidoe its inspired me again to try and fix my sons Mercedes Auto gearbox. This is the problem I have with a Mercedes CLS. Im thinking it may be a similar issue however on the mercedes you pull it all the way back to engage drive and then just nudged it left or right to change up or down however no matter how much I nudge it left ot right it just stays in drive. The gear lever travel in the left and right mode is so little Im not sure that Mercedes uses a magnet or not!!!! And help much appreciated.
thanks for posting, now i know what im looking for and how to do it i can sort it out tomorrow i have a skoda superb 1.9 TDI comfort 2004
If you break it you can just use a zip tie in the metal flat part of the sifter from metal and pull up the plastic piece under then the car will still work like if you had the button stuck but the interlock will not protect the transmission from accidentally dropping in reverse while in drive and driving you have to be carefull or until you replace it and also maybe just epoxy glue long thin super permanet magnets cut in to the stick also to have triotinic as alternative.
I have an audi a4 2.0 tfsi automatic, the button on the gear lever knob doesn't release when its on parking and cannot release the key on ignition!
Рахмет from KAZAKHSTAN! 👍👍👍
Great man ! thx, I have the exact same problem on my A6 B5 2.4, automatic works perfectly but when I slide to tip mode, nothing happens.. Going to try this !
No Problem! Let me know if you have any questions, I'd be glad to help!
Did it work i have A6 C5 2.4 and wanna try?
Great video!!!.. I have almost the same issue with my A4 2003, but mine when i move to tiptronic, the dispaly does show up, but when the car moves it does not shift up from 1st gear, could it be the same problem with the magnet?
I have same prob how did u fix?
hehe, good job man. Looks like one of those low budget scary movies ;) But you fixed the problem. I too have the same A4 with the same issue. Audi should've conducted a recall for this common problem. Will have to fix mine as well. Thanks for posting.
If you have any problems let me know! My tiptronic is still going strong! Sorry about the bad video quality, I'm new to this and just trying to help people out.
nice one matey….great tutorial.
my 2.5tdi 98 has the prnds all lit up in the red…..telling me she's not well?
in drive she's ok,pulls well through all gears…..but when selecting tiptronic nothing happens…..so i will try your fix……thanks
Did he just shift through gears without compressing the brake?
Go Timbers Tiptronic Army Audi! Nice! While you have the plate off, you can also pop the plastic indicator lens piece out of the ovals (heat it with hair dryer to release) and take some sandpaper to that pitted chrome for the "brushed" look. Not my fave look, but super easy improvement over the dinged up chrome. Mine could use re-brushing almost 3 years later, but you can see it in my cruddy tiptronic fluid change vid.
Te marcaba algun fallo en el cuadro ?
Does it have dsg or torque converter
Congratulations on the video!
The Tiptronic electronic board really has a lot of defects, I repair it. In case anyone is interested...
Brazil - Curitiba-PR
Thanks
J'ai tous les indications PRND allumé en rouge fixé la pédale de pieds n'affiche pas sur le tableau est la voiture ne bouge pas d'où vient mon problème Merci frère
@@Ahmed-rk8ue
Si la voiture ne bouge pas, il s'agit d'un autre problème non lié à la carte électronique Tiptronic. Lorsqu'il y a un défaut dans la carte électronique Tiptronic, la voiture fonctionne normalement mais il ne sera pas possible d'utiliser le mode séquentiel "Manuel" et les lettres seront marquées sur le panneau "Mode d'urgence". J'espère que cela t'aides.
Thank you! Where in the world did the original magnet go to? Apparently mine is suddenly missing 😂
OMG thank god for this video a penny went down the gear shift so i did wat u did n i saw the penny it was blocking the gear i couldnt put it in drive ... i tried getting it it went through .. but i can put it on drive now. .. just the black ruffle part is seperated
Does anyone know what is that black sliding piece of plastic called, mine is broken and is steuggling to find a replacement
This should work for your 2001 Audi or VW. Make sure it looks similar. If it looks completely different you might want to look online for a tutorial online and just use my video as a reference.
Hi thanks for the video. My A4 2.5 TDI Estate auto would not work in tip mode. The circuit board under the shift rubber had been contaminated with a spilt drink or something. Cost me for a new board £80 as I remember. Really quick car, but not very economical for a diesel.
What a helpful guy, I think this may just help me repair my 2.5 tdi v6 a6 on a 2000 plate. It engages into tiptronic, but doesn't shift UP, but DOES shift down.
I hope my video can help you out!
I have an Audi A4 salon car. all the prnds lights are on . The mechanic says it's the tiptronic after scanning and needs to change the tiptronic. seeing this video now , it's helpful . Now I know it's the magnet and not the sensor on it
thanks for the video. I lost my tiptronic display today (2000 a4).
Did you also experience any buckling like a wild bronco when in gear? it was doing that occassionally right before tip mode went dead.
my car allows the shifter to move without the brake being depressed now. its CVT. wonder if this would help. even though the shifter moves freely, the car doesnt engage.
U mmk
hi! i have an audi a4 2007, and my mechanic says im having tiptronic issues due to a missing magnet. any suggestions on where i can order this part...instead of checking out a junkyard?
I have seen them on Ebay for pretty cheap!
Can you help me out, I not sure if the circuit board over the magnets has gone bad because the problem that I have is that it downshifts but will not upshift using the tiptronic. It works fine in automatic though
you probably saved me a lot of time/money/hassle
I pulled out the shifter button too much and it came off the spring. Sucks trying to see if I van either repair it or just buy a new knob
Thanks for video man....soo easy to do once I saw ur video...
hacatan24 No problem, always glad to get on here and see I helped another person out!
@@Jacob190000 I had similar fault with all lights lit but now its flashing prnds and wont move I've had tcm check no faults put it back and its saying like there no communication with transmission and a few sensors r now saying they have a fault any idea my next step is to change the gear shif leaver from what I know there is now a upgrade and as my lights was staying on before hoping that has put my car into limp mode £280 hope it's the problem but what do u think ??
the knob is broken and the white plastic stick is kind of torn so it doesn't have that little oval circle top like yours does, what could i possibly do to fix it and how much do you think would be the cost??
God bless you bro, you saved me
I have 1998 a6 2.4 tiptronic. 120,000miles. Full service history. Today it started becoming hard to move gear lever from Park to Drive after stopping, and not too easy to move lever full back to 1 or 2 position. Any advice?... ( Hot weather here!)
This video has shaky subtitles as well!!! I wander what happened to the existing magnet, it evaporated?
Good question, I think it eventually just comes loose and falls down into the cavity. It will forever be a mystery!
Good job, man. Very useful info, thanks to share.
No problem, thank you!
Hi man, I have a 99 old A6 2.8 30V with 5hp19 TipTronic and its not working properly. I think it is in emergency (3rd gear) and the VAG is not recognizing the TCM. How can i fix this trouble?
I have a VW my problem is when I lock it in drive the red light turns off so I been driving around in S lately all the other modes show the Red light except Drive could it be a light or my whole transmission??
Hi I accidentally pressed the shift Knob while I had it removed from the gear Lever and Now Its Locked.. Please Help
Not all heros wear capes. Thanks a *TON*
Really Helpful video, I have been looking for this info everywhere! Thanks heaps for putting it up I will have to find the part and give it a go!
No problem! Let me know how it goes if you do get a hold of a replacement magnet. Scrap yards are a lifesaver! I know you can also get this part on Ebay.
anyone knows the part number for that "magnet"? Please let me know, I have the same issue.
Great information thanks
Did the car still shift normally in drive, just not the Tiptronic mode?
Yes, the car shifted just fine in both auto, and tiptronic!
Thank you so much

vw passat 2000
I keep yanking hard and it dosent want to come out i broke two at the yard already and i cant get it out its a wood one and looks like being held by a wire?
Awesome video
Will the similar parts from a 2001 A4 work for this repair on a 1998 model? I may have found a 2001 in a salvage yard.
Malibu MizzouFan yes it will work.
Thanks, I decided since my symptom was different I handled it differently. You can see my video on my channel :) Cheers!
Thank you for your video. Good luck.
thanks a lot buddy it really helped out
Bro awesome video realy healpful. Have same problem my car audi a6 2.8 2000 but the only audi a6 in the junkyard is a a6 3.0 2000 and a6 2.8 2002 buy the pice inthe jy? Or not? Hope u can answer me c:
Miguel Morales If either of those cars have tiptronic then definitely go pull the magnets. They should be less than $5-$10 each. I don't think there is anything specific about the magnets and so they should work for your car.
Does anyone know how the shim combination under the rubber of its gear?
I same problem, can i use any magnet?
radell yap I believe any magnet from an Audi or VW with similar tiptronic module should work!
Getriebe Probleme???!!!
Hallo,
Ich habe ein audi a4 b6 avant 2004 Multitronic. Bis gestern lief alles gut. Abends wollte ich losfahren, den Motor gestartet, bremse betätigt, Schalthebel auf "D" läßt sich mit Wiederstand einlegen. R und N geht einwandfrei. Fährt auch tadellosen. Nur beim einlegen audi "D" ist sehr schwer. Hat jemand eine Idee was das sein kann? War bei ein paar Werkstätten, die haben keine Ahnung.
Vielen Dank!
Thanks you bro
Thanks for posting this!!
When I put mine to manual mode, it won't up shift. What can I do?
Is the website live? Wont connect right now.
next video: fixing fis display :P
Thanks video was kinda crappy but u explained it well
too helpful. Thanks a lot
You're welcome! Glad I can be of help
Does this problem keep your car from starting all together for any reason
No it didn’t affect anything other than being able to activate tiptronic shifting
So just out of curiosity, prior to the magnet installation the car wasn't in "limp mode" right?
Fuckin 'Merica curious about this too! My tiptronic doesnt work, my auto works fine except occasionally it gets stuck in 4th while driving (limp right?) until I slow down, put it in park and switch back to drive . No error codes except one about a tiptronic short. Thinking it might be the magnet?
Kyle Dumovic yea i think that should fix it mines has that same problem and ive been reading on forums about this problem and that should fix im going to buy a new shifter tomorrow and let you know
luise6313 Yes please keep me updated! If it works I'll do the same. Where are you getting your new shifter? A junk yard?
Kyle Dumovic yup ain’t paying no $500 for a new one lol
No, it was not in limp mode. My only issue was that it would not engage into Tiptronic (manual) shift mode. Hope this answered your question, even if it is 3 years later :)
Works for me thanks
I have a 2002 a4 Quattro I recently bought. When I slide it over to tip mode nothing happens. My display only shows PRND but it does not show what gear I am in.
Hi Barry, it sounds like you have the exact same problem I was. It seems as if your magnets might have fell out of place. Is your car a B5 model? If so, you should follow my directions and see if you can fix your problem.
No problem glad it helped!
hi noob mechanic i have the same problem but is a jetta 1.8t 2003, this tutoruial will help me or is diferent for jetta.
thanks
If your jetta's automatic shift assembly looks similar than it should be the same. I think 2003 may be too new thought and it might be somewhat different. I pulled my magnets out of a passat at a junkyard I believe it was a 2002.
hmmm yours must have been really brittle. However, I think it shouldn't bee too much of an issue considering it is covered. Maybe you can put a dab of super glue where each clip was that way it wont move around, but will still be removable.
I have a 2002 audi a6 Quattro 2.7t Automatic
I started off with 2 codes and no check engine light I ran the computer, It was the Torque converter and a #2 Cylinder misfire. I could feel it kicking while driving so I replaced the spark plugs,checked the cylinder pressure with the tool it was at 130 supposed to be at 140 if correct my mechanic said it was fine , I gaped them all at 0.28 Torqued them all to 22lb. I Checked the coil packs and boots, They looked fine to me so I didn't replace those. The 2 codes went away, but when i was idling I can still feel a little kick every now and then, hmm?? After that..
No check engine light
No codes pop up I drove it 50 miles+ before I ran the computer with the diagnostic scanner.
The car is in limp mode
PRNDS light stay on don't flash
When I start the car the PRNDS works in Drive if I put it there first but if I put it in Reverse after starting it up it goes striaght to limp mode again, because when I start it up and put the shifter straight to drive it will work for a little before it goes back in limp mode It first started with the tip tronic before any of the codes started now its in limp mode With the PRNDS all in red?? Any help or advise on where to start I try to do the work I can myself.
The Yellow coolant light is the center LCD screen were the service indicator is located in the center of the dash.
I'm pretty sure I have a leak in the coolant resavor. I can see the build up next to the front hose connected to the coolant resavor, and the yellow oil light indicater. For that one I think its the oil senser??
Any help for my situation will be much appreciated thank you.
thanks so much
Can you buy this magnet online and if so what do you search for as I cant find any on ebay
If you search for tiptronic magnets in eBay you may find some. Take your cover off like I do in the video first. You may be able to find them dislodged and just need to reseat them.
hallo i have same problem :( on my Golf 4 GTI
and i cant fidne magnets and cover
can you hellp me?
where can i find that parts ?
Fixmyvw.com
Buen video !!
Gracias!
Noob Mechanic hello noob, i don't have the magnet, could you tell me please how can i do it exactly? i already disarmed it
I couldn't tell if I was watching a repair video or "The Blair Witch Project".
Hi, what if the magnets are ok but car won't go into gear? any idea what the problem might be?
Where can I find my throttle body im my audi
does it just need the magnet/ ? what if it already has magnets?
If the magnets aren't missing than you may have a different problem. Or it may just be that your magnets are situated wrong. Also, make sure the magnets are still magnetic by touching a screwdriver to them.
Hey, does your lights on your dashboard light up since the magnet was broke? Cause My shift indicator has all the gears illuminated and shifts into drive perfect. But triptronic doesn't work at all can it still be the magnets or a Sensor?
Derek LaFountain When my tiptronic was broked, it would not show gears 1-5 on the dashboard. It would only show the automatic P,R,N,D. Once I fixed my tiptronic, it would show numbers 1-5 on the dashboard once shifted into tipronic mode. Does that make sense? I can try to explain better if needed.
Noob Mechanic when it shows PRND did it also show you which one you were on? i.e if you were reversing then it shows in dashboard R only without the other ones lighting up with a red square?
jak to się nazywa?
I have 2004 audi a4..is taking off the shift knob same as your car..thank you.
Gale - in Henderson NV.
hey man do you know where i can buy them online ? or get them ?
Ebay has them!
hi guys, need some help, first of all lt me thank noob mechanic for the video, now, i got an audi a4 auto 2l fsi, yes i been having the same problem with the tiptronic, it works when it feel like it, reverse light not working checked the bulbs all fine, also i need the location of the gearbox ecu, i suspect its on its way, some time i loose drive, when it happens i have to switch the engine off and start the car again, last thing on motorway i cant get the car to drive straight, keeps pulling to the left, can anyone help?
Info was good but got Me s headege.
Hi
I am sure you know what you are doing but after watching this I feel dizzy .
I think you should have some one hold the camera while you are performing.
Cheers
Yes, it makes me dizzy as well. It was one of my first videos.
Omg my car is supposed to go in for a gearbox replacement in 2 weeks time!!!!the mother F#*rs. This solves everything 😭🤣damn people have no shame
will this tutorial work for a 2001?
Yes it will.
why you need to have this magnet at the first place?
It tells your car when you want it to go in to Tiptronic mode. When the magnets touch, it sends a signal to your cars computer letting it know to switch to tiptronic.
If I wanted to be a purist, what would a new magnet assembly cost from an Audi dealer? I will be sure to bring a large tube of KY jelly with me!
bro please just buy a tripod this was really hard to watch
haha yeah, if only it was as easy as fixing the tiptronic :)
i broke rod sadly
Here is a link to swapping out the valve body.

I agree, after watching this video recently, I wish I had someone to film for me. But my main goal was to fix my tiptronic! Not to make a video lol
