Hi guys.
Without any rhyme or reason, the 6th gear will disengage, disappear on the readout, and leave me coasting. This is not a regular occurrence and there is no standard of driving that will bring this about.
The dealer fixed on an error code, and changed the selector unit in the car. The fault appeared again as before.
A gearbox oil change and filter became due, so I had that done. (+£200.00)
The next move is the dealer telling me that a clutch pack was needed, this was a 99.99% promise from him of a cure.
So +£800.00 later and 25 miles away from the Garage, yes you guessed it! From 6th into neutral and coasting. Again no fix.
Now I am firmly believing that both fixes are not related to this problem!
Has anyone any clues as to this fault on any vehicle with a DSG box. I am fast running out of money. And more importantly, I am towing a caravan!!!
Cheers
Denis
