Title: Dsg won't enable gears
Post by: Sammasson on October 23, 2016, 12:23:32 pm

I've had my engine an gearbox out my edition 30 and I've just installed them both back in, it starts and runs perfect but it doesn't move. When I put it in reverse or drive it doesn't do anything, I've checked the linkage and that's right. Any suggestions?

possible it might need re-coding ?

If the engine and box came out of the car and went in again (the same exact ones) it shouldn't need coding.

I know but still should need coding. As it would be like putting a different ecu into your car. It wouldn't know what the hell was going on lol.

Should be fairly easy with Vcds.
