Ok this is very recent problem that I've been having with my vr berlina sedan, although it gradually got worse. Whenever I am driving, say at 80km/hour, its revving at 3.5-4k and WONT go up to 3rd or forth gear. If I take my foot off the accelerator the revs drop as usual, but the second I start to accelerate it goes straight up to 4kish. Its almost as though I have selected second gear, it just wont jump to 3rd or forth and on long trips it costs a lot in fuel not to mention gets the motor hot!
Occasionally it will flick up to 3rd or 4th but RARELY and not for long, it often jumps between 2nd 3rd and 4th quickly even while on cruise control.
Any ideas on the possible problem, like what actually determines wat gear the car should be in in an auto, as Im assuming thats where the problem lies.
I checked the computer for faults, code 12 so nothing wrong there.
thanks for any help
