Hello I started having this warning it comes up every so often. I've seen online there might be a fix, you can buy a spare part 40£ and you connect it under a gear knob. I opened it up and I have a black cover, which is a good sign as it don't apply to the white cover. 

 

Did anyone else have it and also did u manage to fix it or you had to give it to the garage for a fix?  Thanks.

 

Also on a side note I did the obd scan and I got this warning ⚠️ at first it came up with this first obd pic, and then this sec pic. 

 Does that mean I have a fulty sensors? It confused me as it didn't show it at first and then it came up with more ❌.

 

When I tried to see what codes are they it did not give me any regarding the dsg or any sensors. So I am a little confused.

 

Any help or discussion would be very helpful I'm trying to do as much as I can by myself. 

 

Thank you all

 

 

 

 

Mine did this on an off for 6 years (maybe 4 times a year)... always vanished in a second and never showed up in a scan

Ye that's the thing with mine not showing at all, I have a friend coming over today or tomorrow to check on vcds if anything will show. I found that video someone else's posted Im not sure if it's worth trying or not.

Its usually caused by a compromised / failing Park Position sensor that fails.  Not an unknown fault, but it does happen.

 

One of two options: its the park shift lever position sensor that failed (about £75 + labour) or the Clutch position sensor (will throw a P1735/P1736 error) - which require a new component on the Mechantonics unit (about £500) to be replaced - clutch sensor fault.

I fitted this bypass switch and the error is still coming up, any ideas?

I did the same today. Warning triangle persisted until I'd gone for a drive, now it's clear.

But next time (as if there'll be a next time) I would scan for those P1735/P1736 error codes before buying the piggyback switch and doing the work
