    Default Error Code 85

    Hi
    Have a VT wagon and I have checked error codes and one of them is 85. How easy is this to fix? Do I need to change the transmission completely or is there something easier to do? Please help! Thanks

    Hi
    I just thought I would let you know that it has had a transmission service just done. So oils and filter in brand new condition.
    Thanks

    I doubt you will need to replace the transmission. It might be just one faulty component. I can't remember what code 85 means, I've searched the forum for the answer but as usual I can't find what I'm looking for.

    I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

    Fault 85 measures the difference between engine rpm and transmission rpm and indicates slipping,
    possible causes are miles long the only thing you can check is low fluid.
    As it has just been serviced it is possible some "dirt" has been dislodged and is now blocking a valve open or the filter didn't seal properly, take it back to where it was serviced
