I have 54 plate 2.5TDi Touareg which has recently developed a problem when selecting gear. You put it in D and it either picks up OK, picks up in 5th or revs then bangs into gear. Occasionaly when you stop at lights etc it looses drive altogether momentarily. Has anybody experienced this problem and if so what is the fix?

Cheers

I would say that maybe the oil level in the gearbox needs looking at, this i believe can only reliably done with vag-com. If it is low then before you fill, ensure that the transmission oil is warm and then fill via plug and wait for a slight overfill then its roughly the correct level
