Welcome Steve, London is a bugger for changes to roads.

Factory part number is WHT 001 818 M14x1.5mm 27mm thread length (total 48mm long) https://www.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts/oem/wht001812 Appears to match your dimensions for your shiny bolts.

It's either the DPF/GPF/CAT being chopped off, or the whole car being nicked for whatever* Not really hearing much about alloys going these days to be fair, if you have caps that cover the bolts, then they won't know.

This is available if you need, SW Train: MSTD_EU_SK_P6230 MU: 0490 So you know what is available when you look at yours

Meaning to post image here, or write in value of your Software Train Example picture above in forum post for MIB1

I did just add additional image above, but best stick with what was fitted. Firmware dealers will charge you the Earth for, and odds are in your case won't be a fix. Try yourself to hold down your Menu/Setup button for about 10 seconds, and try to navigate around to find Software Train, and send image back (press update and see if that button reponds)

IIRC that is a MIB1 gen screen, those other part numbers will probably be MIB2 newer gen, so odds are not compatible. Does the screen respond at all, as the cold has affected some, and a firmware update for the brain part in glovebox, has cured the screen issue. Here is a possible replacement, but not certain it will work. 5E0 919 605D Yours of course 5E0 919 605E <-- a maybe only!

At least you know where to look for that in the future. When stop/start doesn't work, or rarely does shut down engine.. battery is often near the end (but they can still work on for longer)

Welcome to the forum, Take the measurement of the Soot with engine off, if the value is high like it is now, then sensor will most likely be goosed.

Order these parts on your "own" choice, these are what I think should be all you need. OCT 2019(K) 823-010.pdf

Thanks, I was busy today, that allowed me to put the part number in and check for supersessions, so it seems there has been. @billwin So the "new" pump part should be 1K6 955 651 plenty out there on eBay/Amazon etc Price seen here is at the dealers, so best avoid and locate one youself.

I might make you feel a little sick, as the price for the parts has no discount, and here it is https://www.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts/oem/0am198142l?supplier[0]=6 Not my intention, but to show that you have some wiggle room. As the part fitted could have been discounted, as they make money just to sell the part that LUK/Sachs make. You have a few ways you can play this, take the car back to them once they get the mechatronics, and you should argue for a strong discount due to replacing parts not needed. I wouldn't blame them too hard for the diagnosis, as they may have had no choice but to follow the GFF sequence that led them to the "replace clutch pack" and the TPI combination. As you can see the part could be had from elsewhere for much cheaper. If you have had your fill of the main dealers, then I know an independant workshop in Doncaster, a VAG master tech (for Audi) with over 20 years experience, PM if you wish to head down that road.

0156 is the latest for this Software Train, exists 02xx and 03xx versions, but they are not cross compatible (you cannot update from 01xx to 03xx for example, or to 02xx)

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_Group_MQB_platform Take a read about the MQB platform, the PQ platform links are in there to follow.

I don't have that TPI in my collection, but probably states needs SW update and clutch pack fix, though the part number seen is handy. (Not in a position to check right now) Not sure of the law of the land, but I think you may have something regarding the bill, and how the repair/fix is worded, as you said, that will be a battle.

I cannot answer the DSG questions very well at this point, not a mechanic (unless weekends count) I do have access to TPI documents, like for example the “34F7 Recall” @toot mentioned, but don't have them all (there are probably in excess of 10,000 easily across the VAG range) But due to my line of work, I do have a few people up and down the Country that might be able to help, but being close to Xmas, they are busy and not responding to messages in a hurry. Unless your mechatronic completely loses the plot, you should still keep some kind of drive, but for how long that is an unknown sadly. Without a scan/live data readings of the gearbox it's hard to say what it is going on. Are there any clues on the receipt you got for the clutch packs?

Do you have the factory fitted pump number?

There are a lot of questions to be read/answered that I am lacking in time for at the moment. Sadly without knowing exactly what the dealer has done step-by-step it's hard to say too much, also they won't likely give you the fault codes. There's every chance they just said to replace the clutch plates (I doubt at 56k they would need changing, but they may have been worn out premature due to a long standing fault) because the computer GFF (Guided Fault Finding) went through some tests and declared the fault lies with the plates. Now they have done more digging (why this was not done at the time...) and now they say the fault is with mechatronics unit. With GFF, they may have been guided into a few test routines (sometimes poorly written) that said measure the plate thickness, and then tells them to change plates. Now going through the same test plan they get a new answer when they input the plates are new/ x mm, saying the fault must be in mechatronic. You and I will never know as they won't tell you what they did, or I find it highly unlikely (data protect guff or secrets destined for the VAG black hole) If you knew the fault code present before clutch replacement, then that would have been brilliant.

Might be an idea to check your soot levels, and also to potentially get some readings of temps with engine off/ignition on (don't be slow as you will drain battery) So if you have a temperature of 40°C with the engine off that won't be legit. While you are there, you can check the DPF regens, as you say they are more frequent. Read in measuring blocks for sensor pressure with engine off, should read close to zero, and when starting engine that should of course increase. I would take some baseline measurements of your soot/ash levels so you have a future reference. A full VCDS scan log would be appreciated also, if you have the tool, please provide the data, it's invaluable!

Sorry this is not mentioned in the workshop manuals as far as I recall, just the fitting torque only. Apart from taking the existing measurements on the old/new glow plugs I am not sure.

It would appear the sensor is not picking up things inside. How did you test the interior sensor?

Both original and new parts are using the same PR-Code 7AL

Spill the beans!
