Hi

    I have a Superb mk2 with a dsg gearbox,it is the 170bhp model with the cfgb engine.

It has 300,000 miles on the clock.

I've had the car for 4 years and I use it as a taxi.

Last week whilst I was working ,I started the car up ,the was warm,all of a sudden the spanner next to d started flashing  and wouldn't drive.

I turned the car off and restarted and it drove a few miles and it did it again.

I ordered gearbox oil and had it changed along with the filter.

Only 3.5 litres came out.last time I serviced it was a couple of years ago.

Due to covid I didn't gave it changed last year.

I drove the car home it drove ok.

Then all of a sudden it started slupping out of gear and jerking.

I took it to the electrician who plugged it on tge snap on computer, there where fault codes to do with the gearbox he cleared them.

I drove the zar the best say and ut drove fine for 3 to 4 hours and then all oc a sudden it started doing it again.

Can't get my gear around it ,it drives OK fir 2 to 3 hrs and then starts playing then it might drive fine until the best time.

Sorry for the long rant.

Any ideas 

Thanks in advance 

oooh - okay.  Well, first things first, get the gearbox serviced.  This is a number one priority.  This includes the filter.  I am assuming a DQ250 6 speed box here.

 

If that doesn't fix it, try a gearbox hard reset (via VCDS).

 

If that still doesn't fix it, it a DSG logic board issue - it could well be the internal seals of the electronics have failed and its got oil in the logic board and this will be causing chaos.

The company selling this gearbox is a specialist at repairing these boxes.

So might be worth speaking to them to see if it might be worth repairing yours.

Thanks,I had aa out yesterday ,he also said mechatronics unit.

Every gear had a shift code.

 

I bought a dsg gearbox with the code ppx and put it in my car,and my car is running even though the code is different.

Only thing is that in manual  mode it doesn't show which gear it's in on the dash.

Otherwise it's running just done 200miles in it last night.

Thanks to everyone who replied and tried to help me,its much appreciated. 

Thanks guys.
