09A reverse gear suddenly problem

Personally, I would do the solenoids. If you are not doing it yourself, print out the solenoid how-to and take it to your favorite independent VW mechanic (not the dealer), and ask for a quote. Get a set of solenoids for about $360 at lots of places, including cobratransmissions.com

It's not that hard to do yourself either. The experience gained will serve you in good stead for the rest of your VW love/hate relationship in the future.

thanks, i might give it a shot. appreciate the advice!

I found an absolutely great transmission repair place, 'Automatic Transmission and Driveline' located in Waite Park, MN. (by St Cloud, MN). The owners name is Roman. He found the problem to be one of the nine solenoids, and replaced for a total bill of less than $300.00. He was honest, very fair and had it done for me in less than a week. I highly recommend his business.
