If you see the “Transmission in Emergency Mode, You can continue driving” warning in your Volkswagen vehicle, this may mean that the transmission is in trouble. But there are also several reasons that are not connected with the transmission itself. Sometimes, this is just a software glitch that will cost you nothing to repair by resetting the control units.
In this video, I will tell you everything I know about this issue after seeing it in several Volkswagen vehicles of different generations. And you should understand that this message doesn’t report the fatal issue with your transmission. This is rather some problem with sensor readings and the brain of your car decides to throw the warning.
In most cases, the problem may be solved by DIY methods that I will also provide you with in this video. But sometimes, a good scanner will be needed to read the codes and see what exactly is wrong with the car. The warning rarely tells us about anything serious.
