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.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Currently searching for my first P-car ... Looking at C4 / C4S (preferably, but wish I was in a position to swing a Turbo). Communicating with one owner who claims tip only works in manual mode. I searched for similar issues, but didn't find anything. Thoughts? Yes, I do realize that it could mean plan on a rebuild / new tranny. If that is the only issue and I pick it up planning on that repair, I 'might' be ok. Will still want a PPI, but trying to do research first.

POST 2Original post

There was a Boxster on Wheeler Dealers that did that. It was fixed with a new filter and new fluid. YMMV

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I was wondering if it could be something as simple, but want to go in to negotiate with the plan it will need new/rebuild.

POST 4Original post

Sounds like the ideal Tiptronic to me!!! Not normal behavior though ...

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

would want it working in both modes, but manual would be more fun ... :-)

POST 6Original post

A fluid and filter change won't be cheap but it might be cheap insurance. I paid a bit over $400 for that service along with a thorough inspection by a transmission shop. Rebuilding a Tiptronic It will cost $6000+.

POST 7Original post

It mite even be a simpler repair. I have seen many Tips that would not shift in Auto mode simply because the front tires were not the same size, or that one tire was new and one was worn out. If the tires are not of equal diameter the Tip thinks the car is in a turn and will not shift to keep from upsetting the suspension. I have seen this WAY more times than I have seen an actual Tip internal problem.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
