Manual Shift Problems with the V10

Hallo,

My V10 the last days, when I try to shift the gears in manual mode nothing happens!! The display remains as the automatic shift and I cannot downshift the gears. In the automatic mode is working perfect is the D-mode or S-mode
If anyone have any idea please let my know.

Many thanks:writers_block:

The Problem solved with changing the circuit under the shift plate and putting in place one small magnet which exist under this circuit

 

EODguy

did you figure this out??? because mine is doing this right now please let me know

It cost about $1200 at the mechanic because the printed circuit was damaged from the previous owner had spilled soda into the shifter. The other poster is also correct about the magnets, etc. This is not a DIY

 

Before to change the circuit that is beneath the plastic cover of the gear shifter check if two small magnets are in place on the rubber cover that is moving when you change shifts. These magnets are giving the position of the gear shift to the circuit. There are small, one is square shape and it is very difficult to take it out the other is circular and you can take it out very easy. It is important the circular one to put it with the right orientation ( I mean the north and south pole ) if you put it in place and doesn't work try to change the orientation.
Me I have changed the circuit also but I think the problem was in the circular magnet taken out by a coin dropped in the shifter.

Dear friend,
1200 $ is very expensive, it cost me 120 Euro the printed circuit. After that the problem solved.

Hi
If your handy replacement of the printed circuit is very easy .
I had mine out for another issue recently and it was fairly simple.

Just curious if the problem has been resolved and what the fix was. I am experiencing the same issues and looing for info. I suspect the magnet allignment may be the issue

 

I came to the conclusion that I am missing one magnet and have been told that will fix it. It's this piece,,,part # 8E1713187F. I found it at a vw dealer online for $98.17. It's on it's way so I will post the results although I am 99% certain it will remedy the problem. What seems to happen is that this magnet brakes off because it's a rigid thin plastic. It appears it could break off if you yank the lever out of tip mode real hard. Here is a pick of it, part on the left! There should be 2 silver magnets on this part

 

here's what the part should look like

Home Page > Search > ES441656 > ES#441656 Automatic Tranmission Shifter Cover Strip - 8E1713187F

 

I replaced the shift cover strip with the 2 magnets and it is fixed and work perfectly. Here is the part I bought and the old broken part:

 

Well done. Good that someone comes back with parts numbers and pix. Thanks.

 

Thanks, dropping a coin down in this area could snap of the rigid mounted magnet. Coins should be kept away from the shift area at all costs knowing a little magnet could cost you $100, and even a few hrs labor from a dealer.

 

Thank you for the pictures, as it helped me troubleshoot (hopefully) my tiptronic problem.
I was lucky enough to find the magnet when I took the console apart, so a little bit of super glue and I should be back in business!

 

let us know if that works out. I was looking for mine but no luck finding it

 

Same problem with mine @ 115,000km
Waiting on parts to get fitted next week.

Dealer I brought it from from tried the old "just drive it in D and you'll be right"
Yeah right....... maaate..... NOT :anger:

 

Part Number 8E1713187F

Had the same problem when I bought mine. Seller wanted 500USD to fix. Replaced this part for 100USD. Flawless performance since.

My magnets were not lining up appropriately due to the rubber cover that the magnets are attached to being torn. Found a dime stuck in down in there upon disassembly as the culprit.

The hardest part was getting the shifter nob back on.

 

Manual shifting

When I put it in manual shifting i can not get it to shift gears. It does shift very well in drive and in sport, but nothing in manual. If there is anything you can tell me please reply. Thank you very much.

Same thing mine did when I purchased it. You need a new 8E1713187F.

"... and you can quite clearly not see the missing little magnet."

Drag, THAT is the most wonderful misuse of the English language I've seen in a long time!

[But great photos of the issue!!]

 

Yea I know me motha always sayed I had a way with me words
So now I know what she was talkin about.
lol

I don't see the missing magnet too. At least in one photo. In the other photo I DO see the missing magnet - quite a puzzle to my G.P.

 

Finally got mine sorted.
First mechanic replaced the partS as listed but then still had problems with all shift lights on in the MFD.
Sent to VW dealer and eventually resolved and all working now. Claimed small coin was fouling the mechanism somehow.....

Anyway, main thing is now all working again as it should !

 

Small coins have been the problem with others too: don't put them anywhere near the gear shift.

 

I have the Shifter problem now.
Can you provide step by step directions on how to take the shifter apart to replace?

 

Hi, I'm facing the exact same issues. Can I know how yours was fixed
