Hi Lads and ladies,havent been on this site for a while,with work,family and life just didnt get the time,anyway going back to the change over from the 1.9TDI DSG golf to the Skoda octavia 1.9TDI DSG gearbox,well it was a success,only problem he found with the change over was when he was taking off with a warm engine,the skoda would jump forward into gear,he told me it was something to do with the skoda computer not accepting the new gearbox,even though his machanic put the cumputer asleep on the change over,maybe you top men could throw some light on this.

Hi,was talking to a chap last night that is a proud owner of a octavia 1.6 TDI dsg,year 2012,he was telling me at 75,000 km he decided to go to a skoda garage to get the gearbox oil changed,he left the car in to the garage in the morning and arranged to collect it in the afternoon,well come midday the mechanic from the garage rang him to tell him the gearbox in that model was a sealed gearbox and the oil in it cant be changed,is this true i would like to know,surely every automatic gearbox oil has to be changed sometime in its lifetime.

ESP error/ DSG wouldn't go into gear

My Mechanic said that the brains of the gearbox [mechatronic ] is very expensive,and they are the first thing to go on a Automatic gearbox,as most cars are run off computers when a fault occurs anywhere along the lines in the gearbox the computer is the first to cut out any communication with the fault and in turn puts the gearbox into emergency mode -
Would this meeting be just for vintage Skoda,s or any type of junker

Well it was changed over anyway,all i know is what he told me,he said the gearbox came from a 09 golf tdi which has the same gearbox as the octavia,and it fitted like a glove,it was a 6 speed dsg gearbox from the golf and put into a skoda Octavia 1.9TDI.i did research a bit more about the change over ,i rang a VW garage,a girl i know there is one of the senior reps there,i asked her to get one of their VW mechanics on the phone to me,i asked him was it possible to put a 6spDSG gearbox into a skoda octavia 1.9TDI 6 sp DSG and his answer was yes,boot engines were very close and gearboxes were the same,a few little adjustments on them but they would fit
