- Here's a brief video describing the process on how to fix throttle, transmission, and engine hesitation on VW, Audi, Skoda, and Seat vehicles built starting in the late 1990s equipped with an electronic drive-by-wire throttle. I hope this video helps 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. Please place any questions or comments related to the video in the section below. I hope you enjoy the video!
i tried this on my Audi A4 B8 (Automatic). I have been experiencing lag when I accelerate. I tried this method as recommeneded. No more lag, car feels like new- brilliant👏
what year sir?
U had lag when pushing only 70 or 100 all way throttle full?
Hey man. Went stage 2 on my 2016 7R. The first tuners file was strong and my dsg was violent when changing. He told me that it's normal. I asked him to flash back cause I was worried about damaging my box. Lost my money for the tune Then I went to another popular house and it did the same but not as bad. They guys checked and couldn't fix it. Also did dsg service. I was planned to do a stock flash and then tried your process. It fixed my issue. Dsg is like butter on boost and I'm enjoying the stage 2 now. Sori for the long message but wanted to share my full experience to help others with similar issue. Thanks you are a legend. Oh, I didn't wait so long after to start the car, was like a few seconds only. The trick is the accelerator floor for the 30 seconds. I heard a click after that. Cheers
did it get rid of your cars tune for thge engine im stage 2 from ie on my 2015 a4
I drive a 2016 Audi A3. This saved me $3800 as I was preparing for a gearbox overhaul. I really wished I came across this video a lot sooner. But thanks anyway!
If I can ask , what typa issues did you have ? Got a 2015 Audi a3 , my dsg giving me alot of issues …
I have a 2005 Volkswagen new Beetle and just wanted to let everyone know that I tried this and it did not work buuuuuut like he suggests I did the 20 second hold while in the on position, kept the on position on, removed my foot from the pedal, then from on just started it with my foot on the brake, switched to drive, pushed the gear shifter over to manual shifting, numbers came up instead of PRNDS, engine light off (it's been on for months now throwing transmission speed sensor code po705 I believe), pushed it back over to normal drive and PRNDS reappeared and it's good to go! No longer throwing a code/check engine light, no longer idling rough, MOTHER EFFING AMAZING!! Thanks for this video, you freaking rock!! 🙌🙌🙌😎
I tried it and worked on my Audi 2004 - I got to see my gear numbers again after reading yours lol thank you smoother and healthier engine.
Was your car switching to newtral while driving before?
hey man - what exactly did you do differently compared ton the video? Im not sure I got that. Thank you!
@@darwinescobar7629 No, not switching to neutral while driving. It was just showing I was in all gears at once (all gears lit up, if that makes sense...) and check engine light was on.
@@bentheman1980 I just tried what he explains towards the end of the video (@ about 4:05). But basically I just didn't wait the 3 minutes before starting the car. After holding the gas pedal down for 20-30 seconds while in the 'on' position, I took my foot off the gas pedal after 20-30 sec and immediately switched my foot over to the brake, held the brake and from 'on' just started the car. Hope that helps!!! :)
Thank you!!! Had this same issue with my wife’s 2018 Audi SQ5 and your tip/procedure worked like a charm! I had an appointment with my Audi mechanic in 5 days that I now can happily cancel!
I just tried this tip on my friend Audi A3 2014 model .
The car was having jerky start up and after this method the car is working smoothly and the performance and car torque increased and improved significantly..
Thank you very much for this tip
Cheers
This method works! Tried it on my 2013 A4 today and now it shifts smoothly. Thanks for posting this.
This resets tps
I've a 2015 Audi A6 Premium Plus with 106,000 miles. From a cold start, I've had issues going from first into second gear. Even if the car's been running in the driveway for 15 minutes I encountered the same. The car revs high and then jolts into second gear. After that, the car and transmission are pretty normal. My next door neighbor is a car guy and did some research on the issue and told me the best thing to do was to take it to Audi. Evidently a lot of independent mechanics won't work on Audi's with this issue. I was further told that a transmission replacement could cost between $6,000 and $8,000. Despite this potentially bad news, I was going to take the car in next week. On a lark I tried this hack and am happy to say it worked perfectly. Many thanks !!!
You owe this man a beer or 2
Bro, you saved my car, i was upset with that problem on Audi 2017 A4 B9, now i feel the smooth life
Just did this on my 2014 A7; lower gears would feel almost CVT-like where the transmission was struggling to find the right gear, but now it shifts so much smoother and more consistently. It feels like a new car, thank you!
Tried this on a 7speed dsg 2019 tiguan 2.0 184hp . It made a very noticeable difference. I feel the gearbox is more alive now an it is less jerky on low speeds. Thank you man
@@gad6792 give it a try
I have a 2015 A6 Quattro and it used to hand at 2k rpms and downshift aggressively when going back into 1st gear but now I get now it's buttery smooth. Thank you man!!
I just tried on my Audi A4 b9 2015, gears between 2-5 are now so smooth! Thank you !
Thank you for the tip! I honestly wonder why the manufacturers don't share officially through the manual for example this kind of easy tips. Why should always try to look out and luckily I found your video?
I tried this on my A3 2015 after i was having many transmission problems in low gear and it worked wonders. The car is functioning perfectly with smooth shifting. Thank you so much!!
does the car need any repairing?
I have a 2017 Jetta TSI 1.4 and when I first saw this video I was skeptical, but mannnnnnnn this works. Follow the steps in this video and it should work 🥳
I try this trick on my Audi q5 and brilliant does the job,feels like brand new smooth riding now.Thanks for this trick
After looking at an advert for an Audi A6, the seller had the same problem, so i checked this video out in case i would buy the car. Any way out of curiosity i tried this fix with my 2001 Saab 9-5... not that i was having any problems, but just to try. And to my amazement my Saab is now more responsive and gear changes are hardly felt. Thanks for this video.
I was def skeptical about it because I tuned mine and didn’t know if it would negatively affect it but let me just say. Day and night! Thank you
just did this on my audi a3 2018 55k miles. It never game me any problems within the last 3 years until yesterday on the way home from work I received a "audi transmission malfunction you can continue to drive" message. And then immediately after that message until I got home I was experiencing shifting issues. So far so good thanks
Is your car still giving that message because mine recently did that and I’m wondering if it worked for you
@@izzyislas6696 the message came back 1 week later but i just did the process again and it went away
Same exact issue on mine. I have the same Audi A3 2018 61k miles. The trick seemed to fix it for now.
Have you taken it to get looked up since the problem came back again?
@@LEIXAD I’m going to get it looked at next week because the problems goes away then come back in a few days so it doesn’t solve the issue it’s just temporary. It’s drive able for now but I’m not sure how long it’ll last
@@WorkshopArtist I’m probably going to take mine to Audi to get it checked as well. Will let you know what they find
Dude I have a 2017 VW passat 1.8 tsi, I had problems with my transmission like he states at the beginning of video. So I tried this method and bro it works! My car runs like a brand new transmission
Did it on my 2010 Passat CC and it worked wonders. At First the gear Stucked a bit when I was shifting and it was shifting around 2200 U. Now it shifts smooth on around 1700-1800 so thanks for that!🙏🏾
i’m having an issue with my 2010 passat lurching/rough shudders when going 0-5 sadly this didn’t help me
Tried this on my 2018 Q5 and it worked. Smoother shift.
I think this worked for, it definitely feels different initially, stiffer pedal and handling on Auto, need to let it learn a bit both hopefully this fixes slipping in low gears. Thank you so much!
Tried on my A6 C7 3.0 and 2012, surprisingly it works 🎉. God bless you man.
I just bought the same car I was wondering has your car ever went into limp mode just for driving fast?, mine does it as soon as I start flooring it and when I turn it off and on it goes away, I really don’t know what’s wrong anything would help me out bro
@@nestoramaral4425boost leak maybe?
@@nestoramaral4425yes bro it happen to me once, but it never happen to me anymore
Thank you very much , it really removed all the hesitations on gear shifting
Works with 2014 Audi A8, transmission shifts much smoother,thanks for sharing
Hey buddy, I just located your video after having my gear shifting wasn't doing anything, not going forward or reverse, period... the transmission was in stall. Now that I just followed your instructions and hope it removed the glitches, I don't have to take it to the dealer knowing they will break the bank. Thank you for the juicy tips. I will keep you posted. 😅😅
so what happened?
Worked for me, on a 2018 Tiguan 162tsi, from Australia.
Thanks mate.
I got gearbox error light turn on and off on my VW 2010 in several days, I feel the something "not normal" when it reach 30 km/h. I found this video and try it now. Will comeback if it works!!!!
This really worked magic in my a4 b8 2.0tfsi multitronic, it was no longer driving on D mode but after this reset its so driving smoth on D and charge rate improved on forgged voltmeter(13:7 to 14:2v).thanks a million Times bro..
Thank you, it's like a magic fix, spot on! Feels so different now!
Felt the difference while speeding defiantly smoother Thank You.
definitely*
Yes it worked on my 2019 VW Tiguan. Purchased used 4 months ago and this was its first trip around 2 hours long. Car jerked a little and gearbox warning light came up, eventually was able to pull off highway and park car and I went to reverse to straighten up and car was still moving forward. I turned off car and restarted was okay for rest of trip. But then on way home happened again. Tried the reset trick the next day and worked got it home. I will see how it goes all week, drive to work and if issue continues will then take to dealer.
2019 Audi A3. Worked perfectly! Thanks!
Just tried this on my q5- its so much smoother now in the lower gears and has lost the jerkiness I was feeling. What a relief- thanks for the hack, I was worried it was going to be worse! Regards
mine hunts a bit off throttle down a hill, otherwise it is smooth as silk driving, in fact I hardly notice it after doing this simple reset- 2009 Q5 2.0T - I have done this every couple years, maybe every 10,000 kms
Would work with 2016 audi s6?
having the same problem with my 2012 audi a4 1.8 T
in reverse its good but in drive im having problems
@@SW34Tjust did it on a 16 A6 it’s good
hey just ried this on my 2015 triptronic se technik a4 and has actualy made a big difference it a lot smoother than it was before changes are hardley felt at all thanks guy any more tips keep em coming
Good stuff! Hey you should cite where you learned this from so we know how to get the information from the source. Thanks for the help!!
tried it in my golf sportwagen...it worked! thanks
Unbelievable, I have an A5 2013 (CVT), it had a huge lag when using D mode.
Tried this and it's much better now, much better...
I got my transmission flushed on my 2017. Audi s q 5 b8.5 at eighty six thousand miles when I was supposed to get it changed at 80000 miles on the dot and sure enough. It started slipping a little bit going towards 89000 Miles. Which where I'm at right now. I tried this and it worked 100%. My transmission is not slipping anymore and now I don't have to schedule an appointment to go into the shop to hear bad news
I have vw cc 2013. Seems like worked!
Wow this work perfectly on my Kia car, i notice improvements instantly thank you for the recommendation.
Lies
Why lie..trolls suck
Thanks from Portugal. That was a great tip
Thanks for sharing this tip. Interesting when you say about how the car re-learn the driving style. Sounds like the ECU got some sort of a reset as well?
Hi, I used an OBD to check my car fouls and I used to have 17 issues on the transmission. I applied this method to clear them and it works but when I turn on the ignition and did the check again all the errors came back
Will this work on 2019 a3’s?
Mine seems to hesitate when I downshift in manual mode and it scares tf out of me but only one time and usually right after I put it in sport then manual 😅
After it does it it works fine so idk what it is
Edit: I tried it first thing in the morning and although it was raining I drove it similar to my drive style and it completely worked and fixed all jerkiness it had especially at low speeds and climbing hills at low speeds as well!
Thanks my guy! I found this at 2am last night and was mad excited to try it 😅
Unfortunately it doesn’t work on a 2019 A5 dl382 gen 2 stronic gearbox.
Do you have to do this like every week or so ? Or it's permanent , and car re-learns your driving style ?
Does anybody know, if it removes a dsg stage 1 tune when you do this?
Will this affect any transmission tunning?
I read it might on some forums. Not sure tho
I have a 2013 s4 stage 2 will this erase the tune?
Great my 2019 a4 S tonic reset helped Thanks a lot👌
It did not work on my 2016 A4 Quattro. I have tried but the subtle vibration continues when starting. It looks like I need to take the car to a shop.
I made this comment, but after driving for about 3 hours the next day, I noticed that this problem was pretty much resolved. In my case, a 10-15 minute drive was not enough, but a few hours of driving could have eliminated the symptoms before long.
@@RyuichiKaminogi Is your car transmission still working great?
You legend this worked a charm thank you so much. I had a transmission in emergency mode on a Tiguan 2017 and this cleared it.
And after did it came back?
@@Roberto-954 Unfortunately yes. I had to take it back to VW and they replaced some chip in the gearbox which took 8 weeks as it had to be custom made for my car from Germany.
@@outofthefoxootf979 we dont have VW service or something but is it okey if i leave it like that?
@@outofthefoxootf979 ask them for what chip and look online you don’t have to really get it from the dealer you could of gotten it from the manufacturer and cheaper
@@Mm-wf3wx Thankfully VW covered the cost in full for parts and labour as well as a rental car until we got our car back. They said that although our car was out of warranty, they decided to cover all costs as we had been loyal in using a VW service centre throughout the life of the car.
Will this work on a 2017 q5 2.0 TFSI ?
Thanks it worked like a charm
Sorry for my stupid question, but did you press the kick down switch as well or just to the switch?
Audi A3 40tfsi 2019 wow !!!! it works thanks 🙏
Anyone found that after doing this, it would work for couple days and problem will come back. Do we have to do this reset every couple days? Mine one is a 2013 A6
Yeah same thing with me it would work for couple of days and then it would go back again did you find a solution?
I just did my a6 2018 it’s work thanks ❤❤❤
Does the car need to be up to operating temperature before doing the reset?
does this solve the “drive system malfunction” warning that shows up
QUESTION!! I bought an A3 recently. Does this affect the tune if it’s tuned? I bought it that way
Works like a charm 🙏🏾
If you have a DSG tune. Does this process remove the DSG tune? Thanks.
I have a 2013 rs5, medtronic failed twice. Service is telling me I need a new transmission. The car only has 67,000m
I have a 2014 S4 and I had to replace the mechatronic after something like 40,000km but fortunately it was still under warranty. Just to be clear, they only changed the mechatronic, NOT the entire transmission, which would have cost a fortune.
Had very little hope this will actually work in my A5 2018 with the DL382 gearbox - but it worked like a proper dream.
I don't know if anyone else noticed or if its the case in other models, but after holding for 15s once the ignition was turned off, upon letting go of the accelerator pedal P (Park) flashed 3 times on the dash.
Any idea if this works on Porsche with Audi engine ?
Hey so I have a tune on my Audi, wild this reset my tune to stock or just my transmission?
worked a charm on a A3 2012 8p 5door sportback 1.4t stronic 7speed
My 2006 audi a4 s-line over revs in sport mode it wastes fuel and doesn't go any faster if it would change gear between 4000-5000 revs the car would be a lot faster. Instead it goes all the way up to 6000rpm. However it doesn't always do this, when it decides to work properly and shift up around 5000 the car absolutely flies. Could this be a gearbox issue?? Has anyone heard of this issue before? Should this reset fix my issue?
@abelalba3111 Let me know how it goes for you. This helped a bit but not nearly enough. I think the only solution is to go to a mapper to tune the gearbox. Problem for me is most have the VAG for 2014 upwards I just want to be happy with how my baby drives 
same thing was needed with honda zf9 transmissions. it would help only temporarily
Got a 2018 A3 Quattro used, had a receipt in the glovebox for the ECU being flashed. Feel like the trans is a little hesitant sometimes and wanted to try this. Doing this would return the ECU to its factory settings right?
I have a q5 that i purchased usesd and when i put the car in reverse, it will want to take off as soon as i let off the break. Only in revrse does this do that. Is this an issue? Will what you showed above possibly fix this? Thanks for your time!
What if I have a drinking malfunction or when the coolant is too high??? What do I do
Would this work if my Audi Q5 car won’t get out of gear (park) ? Any help
Should the car be warmed up before it's done?
Just did this to my a3 2014
The jerking is gone.
Unbeliveable..
Im bout to try it on my 2013 RS5
Beautiful car
How many times did your mech unit fail and did you buy a new transmission? My car only has 67,000m on it
@@awakenosiris i traded it in did not fix it , those transmissions are trash 🤦🏻♂️ audi recommended a new replacement
I wish I had seen this before, mine was rough shifting now has a mechatronic fault, reverse won't engage, and the repair costs more than 1k dolars :/
Will this mess with a engine tune?
Would this work on a 2023 rs3 ? Please let me know my car is still new and I’m worried 😅
what do you think A6C7 3.0 tdi Quattro 2015 S-Tronic, mileage 125,000. Something buzzes when switching from 3 to 4. Will it help, won't it get worse?
Hi, what about a Audi 2018 a7 c7.5 same progress ?
Just wondering if someone can help diagnosing an issue where P (with cross line) is lit up and I’m unable to shift the gear, which is stuck at parking (P)
Will this remove a ecu remap?
Hi. Kann es sein, das es einen Unterschied macht, wie man nach dem Reset das Gaspedal betätigt beim ersten losfahren. Wenn ich das Gaspedal langsam durchdrücke fährt da Auto gefühlt in den Gängen smooth. Gebe ich nach dem Reset schnell (viel ) Gas, schaltet er die Gänge auch sehr schnell hoch, wenn ich dann später wenig Gas gebe. Ich hoffe, du verstehst, was ich meine...schwer zu beschreiben...
It worked to turn off the selector fault light off.. so far...
I noticed on my Audi Q3 TFsi 1.4 auto, which I recently acquired that when pulling away there's a slight delay in throttle response (in the first couple of gears). I also noticed when I pull up to a junction (roundabout) and start applying the brake to slow down (but not to a complete stop) and then apply the throttle there's a lag and that lag which encourages me to apply more pressure on the throttle which then suddenly kicks 2, 3 seconds late in using unnecessary rapid acceleration. I don't know if this makes sense to anyone,. But I will try this technique you posted,. I just don't know if the fuel injectors are dirty,. or the throttle body needs a scrub,. Any suggestions would be welcome
Did the method on the video helped ?
No
However driving in S mode theres no lag
@@Revel83 for me driving on s mode there’s very much lag on around the 1 and 2 rpm’s
@@Revel83 and when I’m on driving mode there’s like a miss on the 2 rpm’s. Always.
Do u have to drive right away after the 3 mins? Or ca. you drive anytime after
If I get p0370 and it goes away is it safe to drive to shop
Thank you so much for this
Does this work the same if you have a tune?
I also want to know
Anyone know if this works on a 2016 A5 with a stage 1 tune? After the tune, on a hard launch; it almost stalls on the shift from 1st to 2nd gear in drive or sport mode. It I shift to manual mode, it doesn’t do this. I read it’s due to the redline limiter.
Hello would this work on a Mercedes c class by any chance?
Hi there!! Does anyone know if this works on a6 gearbox manufacturing light is on and is gone in to limp mode Audi trying to charge me £thousand if I was to do that would it work?? Thanks for any reply
Well thank you very much kind sir..... Tips hat
