Hi I'm new to the forum, so apologise in advance if posting in wrong place. 

I have a question about DSG6 service. I put my Superb 2.0 tdi in for service of dsg. The garage called me to say there is no point doing it as the sump is corroded and leaking. They ordered a sump and re book for service. Is this a common problem. Car done 80k.

What is the going rate for DSG service. Dealer wanted £328. Garage £300 + VAT for service and new sump. 

Thanks 

Main Dealer prices had got to about £275 for a DQ250 DSG.     

 

Sounds like they are charging the price for a DQ381 DSG Service. 

Thanks for your reply. 

I had the gearbox service done and sump cover replaced due to leaking and can't get the seal separately??

I have been experiencing some perculiar gear changing and as service was due, got it done. Appeared to be ok for a day or so. As I moved off from traffic lights there was sudden halt and engine cut out, saying "re start engine manually" which I did. While cruising at 60mph for several miles I felt a judder like a down shift, then nothing since.

No engine fault code on display.

Today as i negotiated a roundabout and pulling away the engine cut out, it re started itself. Amber warning lights on for tyre pressure, traction controll etc.  Got error code for auto start stop.

I switched everything off, waited a few mins and locked and unlocked doors. Car started and no warning lights or error messages. Drove home fine.

Can a weak vehicle battery cause problems like this. Only say this as a friend had a Porsche and he experienced strange problems to old battery.

Thanks

Low voltage battery can lead to numerous side effects indeed.

Just check your battery voltage and if close to 12V, it may be time to replace it.

My Mk3 is a MY2018 (built in Q4 2017), I'm envisioning to replace the battery before winter...

Thanks for your reply Bap33,

The is showing 12.4v and 13.2v when engine running.

Is a battery change a DIY job or will it need coding.

thanks

It is a DIY job if you can code your new battery using VCDS, OBD eleven or any equivalent.
