VW & Audi DSG Gearbox ECU
VW and Audi DSG Gearbox ECU problem
(Mechatronic Control Module Fault)
This is a very common problem for all Volkswagen and Audi vehicles fitted with the DSG (Mechatronic) 6-speed gearbox system.
The problem will normally be intermittent with the P R N D S light flashing and the gearbox going into the neutral (N) position, being unable to select forward or reverse gears. If left to cool down then the DSG gearbox will begin to work normally again. The fault will always become more permanent with time if left untreated.
The usual option when dealing with this issue is often opt to purchase an expensive new unit from manufacturer which will only come with a shot 1-year warranty. Another glaring issue with this is that the defect has not been dealt with at production level meaning that new units are prone to fail in the same manner, usually after the short warranty period.
However our consumer friendly solution of rebuilding the original unit will engineer out the defect meaning that it will not fail again, plus we will provide an unlimited mile lifetime warranty.

- No forward or reverse gears
