Dsg gearbox problem

(1/6) > >>

bobsey:
The dsg gearbox on my edition 30 has developed a loud clunking sound when changing down from 3 to 2 gear, when the engine is de accelerating to come to a standstill.
And after this clunk has happened it takes a while to re engage before the car moves with properly, like a delay.

Its also jerky when the box is changing gear between first to second gear and to third sometimes, so im thinking there is a problem with the gearbox mechatronics but the car is out of warranty by four months.

Im also running revo stage 2+ and stage 2 dsg software, any ideas will be appreciated.

GLIDN:
If you have VCDS (vag-com) or someone near you. You can try a DSG reset. Not that hard but all info can be found on ross-tech.com

It would pay to do a DSG gearbox flush too. IF it's still not better after that. I'm afraid you will be in for a replacement of a mechatronics unit.
so expect around £4000 ish I'm only guess at this stage. In New Zealand they are $10000NZ for an exchanged unit.

Richn83:
I would do as said try the reset/re-calibration and depending on distance since fluid service consider that as well since it will be a cheaper option.  My next step in your case would be to go back to the revo dealer that did the dSG software and get them to try re-installing, or dropping to stage one or stock software before spending lots of money on a new mechatronic.  And at 4 month out of warranty if you do have a mech issue I would be thiking of temporary return to standard and see what good will gesture VW will consider!!!

bobsey:
I might get someone with VDCS to do a dsg reset, but wont that effect the revo software in the gearbox mechatronics?

The fluid was changed by VW about 3 thousand miles ago and this did not happen before they changed the oil, so i might try them and see if they can do anything and say it dident do it before. I might have to put the car back to stock first then try them.

Saint Steve:
I would put the stock dsg software back on, to see if its the map causing it.

Basic settings on vcds is worth doing.

I very much doubt anything major mechanical is wrong with it.

Edit......   Just read your post above  :signLOL:
