This is the second DSG box I’ve had problems with. First was on a Jetta. Now it’s on a 1.2 212 Petrol Fabia. Was out this morning went to turn right no movement like the Box had locked up. I could shift through the selector but nothing happening. Managed to get a push to the side of the Road. Had a look underneath, could see a strain of droplets behind the car. Opened the bonnet and I could smell what I think was mineral oil.

But couldn’t see any obvious leaks. I’m thinking a Seal may have gone. Question is do have the Seal replaced if that’s what it is.

Or go for a Recon gearbox. Car has done 105000 miles.

Thanks for any replies.

It needs checked to see if it is the MCU (Mechatronic Control Unit) leaking. Checked if there is enough oil in it. Did your DQ200 DSG ever get the Service Campaign action done after early 2014 and the Synthetic oil changed to Mineral & the software update. '34F7' Sticker in spare tyre well. Or was your DQ200 after this and did it get '34H5' carried out?

Thanks for the reply. I’ve only had the Car a couple of months. No idea if it was ever recalled.

If theres oil under car its coming from somewhere. Is it black as in engine oil or clearer as in Gbox oil. All reccomendations re DSG on here seem to point to a get a specialist DSG garage to check it out and not a general garage.

^^^ There are 2 oils in the DQ200 DSG, in the box and in the MCU. Box oil might be dirtier than MCU oil. (green)
