I have a 1988 1800 GOLF AUTOMATIC...engine is great ..just had it services...took it for a long drive (600km) if I come to a standstill...I get this whining noise--- in Drive mode. It goes away if I put it in Neutral or Park...is this serious?

Is trannny fluid up to specs? Definitely a transmission issue that you will either have to live with or refer to an expert. Maybe there is some adjustment for the shift - did you check out Google?
Hello Joe, If the engine has over heated it may have blown the head gasket, you say the engine noise changed and you have power loss, get a mechanic to check it and try not to drive it
the gearbox is a computer controlled auto with 4th lock up (O/D) and should, if driven very carefully,change from fluid drive to mechanical drive at about 30 mph.to check transmision carry out the following.
from standstill,put car in drive,no gas,and let the car reach max speed(about 30 ish)then.
from standstill using 1/3 gas pedal (do not move gas foot)let the car accelerate to max speed.
lastly, put car in drive and floor gas pedal(make sure you are alone)then
drive as economically as you can, the gearshift patern will then adjust to your driving style(takes about 50 miles)You will feel the car go from fluid to mechanical drive as a kind of slight drop in revs then ...engage.
assuming you have checked fluid level first of course....
YOUR CAN DRIVE ON BUT SOME DEALER WILL PENALISE YOU IF YOU GO TO FAR OVER EVEN CANCELL YOUR CONTRACT.PLEASE DO NOT DELAY AS OIL CAN ONLY DO SO MUCH AND YOU CAN END UP WITH EXPENSIVES COST TO YOUR ENGINE
The 01M and 09A automatic transmissions do not have a dipstick and
procedure requires measuring and maintaining a specified ATF
temperature (which is neither cold or hot, but in between) during the
ATF level checking. Special Volkswagen tools are required for this
operation and it is therefore recommended that ATF level checking on
01M/09A transmissions be left to an authorized VW dealer.
This is the downfall of a new toyota congrads you can relate to me i Own a 2008 Scion tC these new toyota's are driven by what is called "Drive By Wire Throttle system" there will always be a delay in the throttle response espcially in newer toyota's with an automatic transmission hence the newer ones have a 5 speed automatic transmission instead of the 4 speed automatics kind of a poor design on there end with the Drive By Wire. Sorry this is a problem that happens to be a design flaw on toyota's and some people notice it more than others.
