Replacement of Automatic Gearbox Solenoid Valve

Model: Volkswagen Sharan MK 1, 7M - Years 1995-2010
Part: Drivetrain

If you experience problems with the automatic gearbox, first perform a diagnostic check to assess the type of fault recorded. Specifically, the diagnosis indicates a fault related to a solenoid valve located within the gearbox, which is relatively simple to replace. First, remove the plate to which the gear lever rod is connected, then lift the vehicle on a ramp and remove the cover positioned in front of the gearbox. The two solenoid valves are located at the bottom right, and the fault refers to the upper one. Disconnect the connectors, remove the retaining pins, take out the valves complete with support, and replace the faulty one. After installation, clean the cover and apply gasket sealant before refitting it. Finally, clear the fault memory.
