WK 5 Speed Transmission - P0741
Occasionally when towing at full load (2.5 T Van), the torque converter unlocks and temperature starts to rise from 75 Degrees. It has never exceeded 105 Degrees before I have stopped. Car has done 120,000 kM, about 20,000 with the caravan. I usually tow in 4th, but sometime in 5th in favourable conditions.
Turning Ignition off resets the Transmission and we're good for a couple of hundred k's. The OBDII shows a P0741 error (Slipping).
The Transmission never fails without the Van and shifts perfectly.
I have had all firmware updated, Auto serviced and still no change.
I have been told 'Change the Torque Converter should fix it'. Lot of money for should!
If I could get it diagnosed I'd fix it, love the vehicle. Any good Transmission places in Melbourne? The guy I saw was disinterested.
