- 2008 GTI w/ DSG
I'm new here, and this is my first post. I bought a 2008 GTI with the DSG transmission a couple of weeks back for a daily beater. My Mazdaspeed3 flame shooter is down for fixes and upgraded. I have always done my own work all of the way down to engine rebuilds, upgrading turbos, all bolt-ons, meth injection, (some) tuning, etc. However, this issue perplexes me. I just don't know where it is, and nothing on the net, Facebook Groups, or YouTube videos have been able to help.
CEL Code: P0717
The Transmission Speed Sensor, aka Transmission Turbine Sensor, is not providing a signal.
Car's behavior:
Once it gets up to operating temp, it goes into trans limp mode. I'm stuck in 3rd gear, reverse doesn't work, and the middle screen flashes all of the gear selections. YouTube videos either show the actual problem without any explanation on the fix, or some guy points to the Crankshaft Position Sensor. I mean, I could replace that for $30, but likely isn't the problem for what I know.
I did order and receive what I believe is the front Transmission Speed Sensor (two-wire connector with the BLUE connector). I assume this is the front TSS, and there is another that is the rear TSS with a WHITE connector. Where are either of these sensors located... on the transmission or in the transmission?
