Hi Guys,

My father in laws mk2 fabia 1.2 dsg as part failed today. Car only has 38k miles on the clock.

I wonder if i could quiz you kind folk?

The car was driving fine, then went to turn around and realised he had no reverse gear. He's lost 2nd +4th and reverse gear and can only operate the car in manual. They managed to limp the car home and now parked up. I haven't had change to have a scout at it yet.

But no noises or indication of a fault prior. Just loss of gears and no flashing errors on the dash.

 

After some research, i just wanted to confirm a few things and possibilities. I heavily suspect a mechatronic fault.

 

Seems a big issue is a leaking accumulator housing within the mechatronic unit...

• As understand the mechatronic housing sits outside the gearbox right? 
• Can the accumulator housing be repaired using a repair kit in position on the car without removal of the whole mechatronic? 
• What odb scanner do we need to interrogate the DSG faults?
• Any other tests to confirm the fault?

 

Any help would be appreciated guys! Thanks in advance!

You need VCDS or similar to scan the DSG properly.
