Hello everyone, glad I found this forum!!

I just purchased a 2000 TT , the trucker delivered it today and as I put in first gear, the car shifts but doesn't move an inch!, there is no odd sounds or anything. He delivered it actually with a dead battery and said that he tried to jump start it but it didn't start.... did he mess anything by trying to jump start the car? I put in a new battery anyways and the car starts (though the fans do not work at al, but that's another story!) any help would be much appreciated.

 

so it revs freely in gear, the same as if it were in neutral?

 

Yep, that's exactly what it does!

 

Any idea what this could be ?

 

no idea, sorry.

Where/who'd you buy the car from?

 

I thought when you put the car in gear, and it revved up without going anywhere that your clutch wasn't grabbing.

 

is this only first gear or all the gears?

 

Meaning he can't move the car at all.

 

Sounds like it dosent have a clutch at all lol...

 

If its not the clutch.
Is it a quattro?... If it's FWD make sure your cv joints are still in good shape... once one brakes, the other one does also...instantly(from previous experience)... i doubt this is the case since there is no noise coming from anywhere... idk just a thought.
