DSG issue. Clutch pack? (Oil changed not mechatronic either)

No mate not a Leon. It was a mk4 1.8T GTI. Vowed I would never buy anything off them after that!

Hope you do get it sorted but my guess is it could be both the mech unit and the clutch packs. Hopefully for your sake it's just the one though!

Have a look through this. It's not clutch pack related but the guys who sorted mine really knew their stuff so It might be worth giving them a call even if it's just for advice.

Hope you get it sorted!

Hi guys - It's been a year of happy motoring since my DSG woes. I bought my '08 Mk5 GTI from a local garage and had exactly the same problems with jerky 1st and reverse - made the car undriveable. After taking it back to the dealer, who was helpful, and then several garages, no-one seemed to know what the issue was (suggested oil changes, clutch packs etc). I wasn't convinced as everyone gave a different answer.

Luckily I stumbled across Slater's garage in Nottingham on t'internet. They were very helpful on the phone and are extremely knowledgable about DSG transmissions - more so than VW. They are really enthusiastic about the DSG gearboxes and love taking them apart. My problem was with the Mechatronic unit, despite all diagnostics being normal. I've done 10,000 miles since and the gearbox has not skipped a shift or given me any problems. Luckily my repairs were covered under the warranty I was given with the car.

If you need an answer as to what the problem really is then I would highly recommend these guys in Nottingham. It was over 2 hours away from me, but well worth the excellent service. These guys are absolutely great.

Hi Andy,
I am experiencing the exact same issues with my Passat R36 and having put it into the VW specialist he confirmed that there were no fault codes stored in the car ECUs. Initially I have also been under the assumption the problem is due to the mechatronics unit but considering most mechatronic unit failures come hand in hand with limp mode and gearbox lights flashing on dash, I am now starting to think it might be the clutch pack. Did you ever get your situation resolved and if so, what was the problem in the end? Any help appreciated, cheers!
Ollie
