Hi all. I have a 2016 1.6 tdi with 7 speed DSG. Car has done 47k and always serviced by main stealer. I keep getting a random message flash up on the screen between the dials. It is accompanied by a bong and only stays on for around a second. Seems to do it maybe once or twice a week. It disappears so quickly that it's hard to read but says something about Workshop and to put / leave car in P. The car and gearbox are working fine and don't seem to be affected by this. I don't think there is a way to access the message on the screen once it has disappeared and there are no warning lights on. I tried using my basic OBD scanner but it didn't show any stored faults. Guessing it will need plugging into VCDS or something more sophisticated to communicate with the gearbox. Reluctant to go back to dealer as assume they charge a fortune for diagnostics. I love the DSG but now the car is out of warranty starting to feel a bit apprehensive about potential repair bills if it goes wrong. Has anyone else come across this message please? TIA

Thanks for this, that explains it. From what I've read the dealers are suggesting 4 to 5 hours Labour plus the cost of the part 😣 maybe it's time to trade for a manual box ££££
