This particular year and next one , were the worst years for trany's on those cars.
They are failing left and right , there are no options to
get it cheap , sience junk yards refuse to sell used units , cause they coming back under 90 day warranty before warranty expires , and nobody rebuild them , when I was looking for one , for my customer ,
the only option was to buy it from dealer.
It was not cheap , so I ended up converting the car to a stick shift (junk yards sell the whole kit with pedals , brackets etc...). Customer was happy , he didn't really care what to drive stick shift or automatic.At least he won't have problem with a/t in the future , he said.
have you isolated which cylinder is misfiring?
either way I would have a compression test done .. to find out which cyl is not firing pull 1 spark plug lead off at a time until you get the one that makes no difference
It's most likely to be the resistor, it's a common problem. You should be able to get one at your local motor factors or breakers yard and they are generally easy to fit. Not sure of its position on a golf - check a haynes manual or ask your local garage.
If it is not a problem with the fuses then the window wiper motor may have given up. It should be very easy to find one from a scrap yard (cheap as well) and they are easy to replace as long as you have a couple of spanners.
Make sure you check that the fuses haven't blown first!
Hope this helps a bit, let me know if you need any further info.
