I recently brought my car and had it scanned and this came up, can anyone tell me more about the potential problem as I'm confused with the date and what it all means;

 

1 Fault Found:
006012 - Clutch 2
               P177C - 003 - Tolerance Limit Reached - Intermittent
             Freeze Frame:
                    Fault Status: 00100011
                    Fault Priority: 0
                    Fault Frequency: 4
                    Reset counter: 9
                    Mileage: 82858 km
                    Time Indication: 0
                    Date: 2011.09.18
                    Time: 15:24:44

Well to be fair I wouldn't really be bothered with that now as it was over 5 year ago that it registered the fault. 

 

The date and time logged was when it apparently happened. 

Date and time are often wrong so shouldn't be relied on. If I recall, the fault was in the last few hundred miles of the current milage so is probably current.

 

DSG's aren't something I know much about so I suggested asking here to see if someone had hit something similar.

It means that clutch 2 is worn.

Is it something I should be worried about then, as it says it intermittent fault?

I'd erase it and see if it returns in due course

I is that something I can do or somebody with the software?
I got the car from a Mazda garage with 6 months warrenty if that would be of any use to me, I'm really annoyed as I love the car

Anybody with vcds or similar can erase it

Do you think its something I should be worrying about?

As James has said, it depends what happens after you erase the code to see how quickly it returns, if at all, as to whether you should begin to worry or not.

so if I got it erased and it came back on again would the engine light come on as its not at the min?

I would erase the code and run the car normally for about a week, assuming you don't do a really small mileage. Re-scan the car, and see what has returned.

 

If the fault is still there and reporting itself more regularly, then I would consult the supplying garage about the issue. How recently have you purchased the car?.

 

I would do some investigation without breaking into a panic, about what is covered under your used car warranty package, as forarmed is forwarned.

Sorry to bother you,

 

Everything seems to still be correct but ive seemed to lost the audible lock/unlock, anything I could try?
