What did you and your MKV do today?

Upshift paddle was unresponsive, cleaned contacts and swapped the stick on extensions with some that replace the original paddle caps. Much nicer IMO.

Looks fantastic! If you don't mind sharing can you let me know where you got the paddles from? Mine are worn and new replacements are unavailable or expensive, if I can do as you did and clean up the connections and replace the paddles it will be a big help!

Used this post as a guide for cleaning the paddle contact points: https://www.vwvortex.com/threads/dsg-paddle-shifters-working-intermittently-implausible-signal-in-vcds-fix-inside.6915231/.

You have to clean those 3 solder points. It will shift perfectly again after and the vcds error on the paddle will be gone. BTW... the lot of work part he mentions is not true, you open the paddle very easily with a sharp tool, like popping out the telescope on a watch bracelet link.

Thanks friend, much appreciated!
