Hi all, can it be done and whats the cost ect? are there any pitfalls?
Thanks in advance fellas:thumbsup:
 
Lot of wiring changes to remove the Multitronic ECU - I am basing this on the Tiptronic which has it's own ECU under the main Engine ECU in the plenum chamber.
A very big job I think.
 
There goes that then!!!!!! May have to sell as Mrs now totally refuses to drive it as she drove it for the first time this week and says she nearly had 3 accidents! lol. she's never drove Auto before and keeps going to change gear only to hit the brake and had an HGV lock his brakes behind her! sooo pi**ed off may have to sell!!!!!

I'm guessing she didn't come with you on the test drive, and wasn't consulted on the decision to buy it.

Here's an idea. Instead of rushing to sell the car - or worse still, contemplating bizarre notions of converting it to a manual - why not go out together, find some quiet roads where you wife can practice driving the automatic, with you there to guide her and build her confidence?

Easier to swap the box out surely!

Since i became a driving instructor! she refuses to drive with me as passenger! been like it for years, says im a bad passenger?? mmm??lol
and i sort of consulted her about the purchase as i bought it for her really as she has always loved them! showed her pics ect,but missed out the bit about auto!!!! thought she would be fine, i did run her through it several times but she wouldnt allow me to sit in with her!
almost 3 crasheds caused in 3 days????? now wont even entertain the idea and telling me to sell and get a manual, end of!!!
be almost inpossible for me to find one as clean condition, its staggering!
