DSG PRNDS Illumination?

[candyland]

I've just had my gearstick replaced following a fault with the park release lock, £400 for the parts alone but luckily under warranty!

However, the illuminated indicator for neutral on the new unit (ie the N of the PRNDS) goes out when in neutral and only switches on when coming out of neutral? When coming out of neutral the N light often flickers slightly before coming on.

Please could someone comfirm the operation of their DSG unit is similar, I don't recall this behaviour before it was replaced. I've had the car for two years and the previous car was DSG but i dont remember seeing this before. In case it makes a difference it's the 7 speed 1.4TSI engine.

Thanks

Just tried mine. When 'N' is selected it glows brighter rather than goes out as yours seems to be doing. Trip back to the dealers may be on the cards! However, mine is the 6spd DSG so others may report differently. Hope this helps.

Mine does this too.

In fact, when the shifter is in any position, the corresponding PRDNS or + - lights up brighter.

Confirmed here, too. The selected position on the shifter lights up brighter than the rest. This on a LHD car, but I guess it's the same for you guys.

Many thanks everyone. Looks like something is not quite right as I suspected.

Mine's the same as the others above. Looks like yours isn't right.

Hi. Just checked mine and here are the photos.

The selected gear lights up brighter.

Possibly faulty on yours by the looks. Hope you get something sorted with it.

Haha, just had a brain freeze moment. Looked at the pictures and went "hold on, they put the gear shifter on the wrong way, button and lights should be on the other side.." :wonder: Sunday evening and RHD doesn't mix obviously for a LHD guy

Hello! 

I just bought an Octavia 2 facelift 2010 and I noticed that my lights on the selector doesn't work at all. Is there any fuse or any light to change?
