Automatic Gearbox Selection Issues

[Guest qman3428]

I have a mk3 C5 exclusive on a 2009 plate, it has become reluctant to allow me to move the gear lever out of park. If I rev the engine and then press the brake pedal hard it moves, is this a sign of a valve problem in the gearbox, perhaps sticking and the extra pressure generated by reving the engine moves it or could it be a brake detection issue. Any ideas before I return it to the dealer for weeks of investigations?

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for the reply, Ihavent even opened it up because it is still under warranty, looks like another trip to the main dealer. Is the shift lock electrical or hydraulic. It just gives me an idea of how long they will want it

Thanks

Just to close this thread, it turned out to be a dodgy relay. Main dealer replaced it under warranty and its like new again.

Thanks for the help
