Transmission shifts too early or too late into the next gear
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 1995 Volkswagen Jetta III, 1995 Volkswagen Golf III, 1995 Volkswagen Cabrio, 1994 Volkswagen Jetta III, and 1994 Volkswagen Golf III. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
When checking the shift points one should note that the Speedometer can deviate from the specified figure within the permissible tolerance.
In the tables, the gear shifts are listed according to transmission code letters.
H = Hydraulic shift
M = Mechanical shift
On vehicles with the electronic program switch in the Transmission Control Module (TCM), the "ECO" or "Sport" program will be automatically selected by the TCM according to the speed at which the Accelerator Pedal is depressed.
For the electronic Transmission Range (TR) Program Switch -E122- only the kick down shift points are given.
To check the shift points connect VAG 1551 Scan Tool (ST).
See Reading measured value block .
