Default Strange behaviour in transmission

My 4-speed tiptronic feels sometimes 6 or 7 speed trans!? It "shifts" many times step by step when i´m accelerating softly. It drops rpm`s six times (sometimes, not always) and that`s not right!! Any idea`s? Could brake light switch do that if it`s broke??

Default Possible F125 switch problem

Search on F125 switch and the issues. This seems to be very similar to a symptom. You can buy one from ECStuning.com

Good luck,

Default If you can get it then you can log and check output functions

email me for info or send me the logs and Ill look to see what if anything shows up.
You can check the F125 and solenoid actuation and also electrical currents and more via Vag

Yes, broken brake light switch could cause a lot of damage to the TC.
