Back to top Technical Bulletins 01 13 16 - 2034046 Update Programming of ECM for Concerns of a Bump Sensation after Coming to a Stop Model(s) Year Eng. Code Trans. Code VIN Range From VIN Range To Jetta, Jetta SportWagen, Golf, Golf Wagon, Passat, Beetle, Beetle Convertible 2011– 2013 2.5L (CBTA, CBUA) All All All Current ECM programming may cause a bump after coming to a stop, which may be felt through the chassis of the vehicle. This concern is caused by the engine torque being slightly high when the transmission goes into Neutral Control. Neutral Control is designed to reduce load on the engine during idle, in order to decrease emissions. If the engine is still producing torque during the time the transmission goes into Neutral Control, there will be a bump caused by the power disconnect. The concern is more likely to occur when the engine is under higher load at idle, for example, if running the Air Conditioning or under high electrical loads. The concern as described may be difficult to reproduce.

Code Trans. Code All All VIN Range From VIN Range To All All In response to multiple dealership inquires about aftermarket universal (one fluid fits all) automatic transmission fluids and transmission flushing, Volkswagen Group of America, Volkswagen Canada have prepared the following statement. At this time, Volkswagen Group of America, Volkswagen Canada do not support or warranty any use of aftermarket universal automatic transmission fluids or the machines used to flush the transmissions. This applies to all standard automatic and DSG transmissions. Due to the functional and design variations in each automatic transmission, the transmission fluid is developed and used by Volkswagen for specific purpose within each application. Under no circumstances are these fluids to be used outside their designated transmission and replacing any of the Volkswagen approved automatic transmission fluids with a universal “one fluid fits all” approach is not accepted. Volkswagen Group of America, Volkswagen Canada have not been provided any information from the manufacturers of these aftermarket automatic transmission fluids that indicate that they meet any of the requirements set forth by the developers of these transmissions. There are also no immediate plans to implement these fluids into the currently available automatic transmission fluid selection. As such, any transmission repair where the incorrect fluid is used or the incorrect repair procedure was followed will not be covered under Volkswagen warranty. It is also highly recommended that these universal automatic transmission fluids and transmission flushes not be used during customer pay repairs to ensure that the high standards set forth by Volkswagen are always met for the customers, both in and out of warranty. Please contact your local FOM/QTM with any further questions or concerns.
