Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

morning all.
So the baby is poorly again 108k miles and in limp mode, on a 1998 tripbox which is ZF 5HP19 HL found in Audis, BMWs etc.
Has anyone else has issues with them, seems like not mechanical and could be electrical, going for cheap low cost solution first, Speed solenoid item.
Expensive if not, spent 10k up to now over 4 years on tyres, brake pipes, rear exhausts, radiators, so to far in to sell it as stands me at to much, but also if have to get new box looking at a lot of bending over.

Sorry to be picky, but you have had the car for four years and not noticed the buttons on the steering wheel say
TIP
tronic? :lol:
Personally, I think £10,000 in 4 years including consumables is pretty normal.
Hi
We've found something as simple as a bad connection on a plug to as serious as a full gearbox & torque convertor re-build. We've also found engine/management problems can lead to the limp home mode. I'd advise you get it plugged into a diagnostic machine to start with to check the fault memories.

Hi Grant
Youll remember my baby well, silver 996 98, u did all radiators and loads of stuff when I fisrt bought it, now live over Pendle way. Its been drained and looks like no mechanical or metal fatigue in the oil, so back to electronics idea. It was struggling to engage from 2 to 3 for a while after gbox oil change and service, seemed to rev high then jump into 3rd...whilst in trip mode, in manual would go through gears smoothly.
Cars eh, drive you mad....hope you all doing well over Bolton way
Hahaha, Sat Nav lost the plot a year ago, it thinks its in scotland still, dont tend to use it anyway, as i mainly drive 100 mils back and forward to manchester....
