1999 Stagea Wgc34 A/t Gearbox Issues

[Nihon Stag]

I was hoping to get some ideas from fellow stagea owners what might be the problem with my 1999 Stagea.

I have the 2 wheel drive version with the tiptronic auto transmission.

Lately it is very under powered on take-off, especially up hills. Like it's slipping

The A/T light flashes several times when turning the key to the on position before starting it.

I'm not too sure how many times it flashes but will check next time as I think this relates to a fault code?

I know I need to take it to the mechanics but would like some helpful advice first.

Cheers guys

Get a manual box!

But seriously have you checked the condition and level of the ATF. Dirty burnt brown colour means its overdue for replacing.

Count the flashes - the codes are here somewhere - someone will know!.
