Tiptronic transmission thumping when selecting gears when cold

[Graybags]

Can anyone recommend a place to get a Automatic Transmission reconditioned in Melbourne?

I also have a Golf V triptronic 6 speed with 86,000Km which has been having noisy /harsh shifts both up and down between 1-2 & 2-3. Had the transmission fluid and filter changed which solved the down shift problem but the up shift problem remains.Tthe advise from the dealer and an after market service center is that the value body of the transmission is at fault. The dealer suggested that we get the value body replaced by A & B automotive in Dandenong South at approx $3500. The value body is $2500 from VW Australia, although I have seen value bodies from the USA for as little as $600 but nothing that has the same transmission designation as what is in the delivery sicker of our car which has the transmission code as HFT?

Does anyone know the transmission designation/ type for a 2005 GolfV 2.0 FSI triptronic. i.e O9A, O9G.?

Any thoughts greatly appreciated.

I was told by a specialist that mine is an 09G (2005 Golf Sportline 2.0 FSI Tiptronic)

I am taking mine to A&B for a diagnostics check cost $220 and should identify problem. I am in the same boat with my trans code HTF and have found a US. supplier for less than $950 shipped. I emailed them stating I have HTF transmission code and the quoted a suitable valve body. Still want to confirm correct part before I order. Do you want to see if we can get a discount for two? I am in Melbourne.

Was told its 09G as well.

Was told its 09G as well.

Thanks for the info about the transmission type. Let us know how you get on at A&B?

I am also in Melbourne so ordering a second value body is a possibility once we confirm that this is the problem and other "nasties" are not found when a diagnostic is done.

A&B diagnosed a faulty valve body. Ordered one from America delivered for $900au. Shipping was the same per unit. Was quoted $2600+gst from VW Australia.Will have it fitted soon.

Hi. Could you please let me know the US supplier as I may need one soon as well. Thank you.

P.S. timing belt kits complete with water pumps are way cheaper from the states and the UK as well.
