anyone know how to reset the DSG 6 speed box?

[bmhill]

i have all these symptoms listed except for the flashing PRNDS

i am changing the oil and filter tomorrow but need the gearbox reset as the above advice and this is what he suggests

 

http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/6-Speed_Direct_Shift_Gearbox_(DSG/02E)

 

 

i am willing to travel and pay for the right member who is confident they know how to do it as even if i bought VCDS wouldn't have a clue and dont want to screw the box up more than it already is.

At this stage, however, a reset might not be the answer -- the box may be playing up because there is something physically wrong with it, and this should be confirmed by a VCDS scan of the auto transmission module which will show up and diagnose any fault codes that have been stored. There is no point whatsoever in resetting the box if whatever has caused it to show the fault isn't sorted out. Try to get a scan done, and post the results up in this thread.

this what to do before going into a specialist next week Mike, if it sorts it then i will be happy but i am not banking on it and then the Mechatronic unit needs testing and the mechanics are last according to the specialist as long as there are no metal fragments in the oil...

If what you are looking for is to reset the DSG gear box into "Learning Mode"?

 

This was told to me by our very co-operative service techs. It should reset the DSG to learn mode. 

1. Turn the ignition on, without starting the engine.
2. Fully depress and hold the accelerator in that position for about 10 seconds (You may hear / feel a click)
3. Release the accelerator and turn off the ignition. (Job done)

Now take it for a drive, driving as is your normal driving style and the box will relearn your driving style.

 

Our service techs were explaining to me what they had done when we had the "7 speed DSG oil change" recall done. They are always willing to talk and I asked what the reset involved.

Whilst the instructions are for the  7 speed DSG box, they may well hold true for the 6 speed such as yours. I hope this helps.............Tony

thanks for your input Tony but as far as i am aware from what i have read it doesn't do anything as the only way to make the ECU learn is to do the settings via the VCDS as above but as usual i am quite willing to be educated by people with superior knowledge  :clap:

 

the way to do it is with the VCDS and then its not guaranteed to work, 

i have today changed the dsg oil and although the oil was very dirty and so was the filter there were no metal fragments to be seen so thats a partial relief,

Well I have since checked several threads, courtesy of "Google" and they all come up with the same procedure as our Skoda dealers service tech's answer. However some say that as regards step No: 3; after releasing the accelerator pedal, that the vehicle must not be turned off - but started! to do otherwise would "void" the reset. (Maybe I did not remember it quite correctly. My sincere apologies)

 

I am unable to edit my reply above so here is a modified version of the reset procedure, including the change in step 3:

1. Turn the ignition on, without starting the engine.
2. Fully depress and hold the accelerator in that position for about 10 seconds (You may hear / feel a click)
3. Release the accelerator and start the engine. (do not turn off the ignition prior to starting the vehicle as it will void the reset).

The change would be quite subtle in most instances but I cannot imagine that you would have anything to lose by trying it - Give it a go (and let us all know if it helps!)............Tony

Carrying out a basic setting of the mechatronics control module won't cause any issues and is best carried out using odis or vcds.

The pedal action sounds like it might be placed in adaptive drive mode but no basic setting of the clutch ends, gear positions or pump pressures has been performed, all of which should be done BEFORE the adaptive drive.

after changing the oil today everything felt better and although i need to take it on a run to get the oil as thin as possible and then any issues show up

i have already tried both ways of doing it as per Google and your posts above Tony and to be honest it does not seem to have made a difference to me as it felt sharper and smoother after the oil had been changed 

as RRG says below what i am after is best doing via VCDS and then clutch and pump pressure can be optimised.

thanks for the help i do appreciate the help

this is what i want doing James and i am willing to pay for someone who knows how to do it, 

i dont think its mega hard for someone who knows what they are doing 

thanks for the reply i do appreciate all help

Hi. I have a Golf 6 seven speed, DSG gearbox , we replace the clutch nd release bearing, but still it dont want to go into gear, stand still like a donkey,  it shows 3 locks next each other on the dashboard,  can anybody help me pls, 

[yoz2580]

I have a Skoda Octavia 2015 DSG 7 speed gearbox, the car has done 55000 miles, I incurred a fault in the odd gears 1, 3, 5 and 7. it would slightly slip, so before any expensive garage costs, I did a reset on the DSG  gearbox.. while the ignition on with the dash lights showing, press down on the accelerator for 30 seconds, and then start the car without turning off, it should restore the gearbox to the default setting, and clear any faults ...hope this helps

Okay - that is going to be one of a couple of things:

 

1) You've got oil pressure issues within the gearbox / blocked filter which is causing the clutch for gears 1,3,5 and 7 not to properly engage

2) You've genuinely got a warn clutch.  Time for a pair of replacement clutches (because they need to be done together) to be done at either your local dealer or specialist.

Errrr.... I think they’re the rear seat seatbelt warning lights, not “lock” symbols or anything else to do with the clutch units in the DSG box?

Correct - they are rear seatbelt warning lights.

The "reset" methods posted above do next to nothing.

 

They just reset some learned values but make no real difference to the actual internal functioning of the gearbox.

 

The proper procedure with VCDS actuates the clutches and gears etc and re-learns clutch engage points and pressures etc.

 

I did it once on my previous 6 speed DSG after an oil change. Felt very weird sat there with my foot on the brake as it switched through all the gears etc, clunking and engaging the clutches etc.

[Donweather]

My Skoda superb Sportline 6 speed DSG was occasionally crunching when downshifting manually from 2nd to first. Took it to the dealer today and they apparently did a DSG relearn. 
 

Will see if it’s fixed the crunching but I’m not confident. 

[numskull]

I wouldn’t be either…. ☹️
