Common DSG Mechatronics Failures & Issues | Walk Through Guide of Mechatronics Unit | CCM

If you drive a DSG, you will have a mechatronics unit controlling the gearbox for you. These are really intricate computer systems that make sure every gear change runs smoothly.
The issues occur when these go wrong. Let's take a look at some of the most common faults you can expect from your mechatronics unit with Callum, our Gatwick DSG expert.

Love the trolling of Callum with the drop counter :D

Our DSG failed coming up to a roundabout the drive just disappeared which with large lorries thundering past we had no option than to come to a halt in a fast moving live lane - I think VW should have a class action taken against them, they have known about these problems for years but continued rattling them out - I’ll NEVER buy another vw as long as I live - oh and by the way quoted between £2, 800 - £3, 500 plus vat - I expect better from what was a reliable well built car.

Hi, I have a Skoda Octavia automatic, 2017, can you tell me please how much oil goes into the mechhatronic? Just replaced the gearbox. Thank you!

Good video.Im thinking of buying a 2014 Fabia with 5 speed DSG which is a dry clutch.The car goes in to Drive but doesnt move off.Im suspecting the DSG clutch has gone as its just over 79000 miles so probably on original clutch.

Great content! Audio could be better but still understandable.
Any guess what might cause lurching slips under heavy acceleration in a Q5? I don't think it's shifting, feels more like a momentary slip.

My 1.2 polo GT TSI DSG doesn’t creep forward when slotted to D gear
But the reverse creep function is working.
The VW service center said they couldn’t find any error code in the scan and also said doing a base setting reset using VCDS scan can harm the mechatronic unit as I have changed the battery outside of VW.
Please suggest.

Ever seen issues where the communication to the tcu is lost periodically?

[leeisenberg]

Thanks for sharing. Can Anyone tell me exactly Where these are prone to leak??... Got a 2006, can't tell where the heck it's leaking from. Thanks. - take care

How do you release pressure b4 removing the pan cover i understand it is under pressure.

I have a 2007 Jetta 5 2, 0fsi bwa engine dsg gearbox it doesn't start it only cranks and flicks PRNDS on the dashboard what might be the problem

Hi @ccmgarages
My Škoda service advisor has diagnosed issue with mechatronics for loss of power whilst in drive and is replacing the accumulator in my ‘17 Octavia 1.8 TSI DSG (DQ200). I wanted to know if this is a permanent fix or a temporary one?
How long does the DSG/ mechatronic last after this fix?

[petterd]

DQ200 in a Yeti have a sporadic communication fault code. No communication with TCM when hot, works fine when cold. No other fault codes. Any ideas? Thanks.

Got a mk6 gtd. When in sport mode or occasionally just drive it will make a grinding noise when trying to go through the gears if I’m trying to give it a bit of welly, if I just coast through gears it doesn’t do it 🫤 any ideas?

[silky]

My DSG is hesitate from N to 1st but only when the oil is warm.

Gears through 1-6 is fine once the car is moving.

Any ideas?

Family member with failed Mechatronix on 2021 VW Tiguan 1.5 tsi. What year have these been modified and improved ?

[skylarh]

Something dealing with the megatronics gear box I just came from Mississippi this pass weekend no issues I drove it 7 hours no issues in paddle mode but will not drive in automatic someone help.

[transformerbots]

Great video, our car has just broken down (cut out mid-drive) and now wont start. Shifter stuck in P (unless I manually release it). Now started coming up with an ESP fault and wont try and crank (says please put shifter in P/N which obviously Ive tried). Im guessing its the mechatronics unit, what do you think?

[stefangavrilovic]

I have passat b6 with 7 speed dq200 and it has one fault code, its p178b. Car cant be moved and hydraulic pump is 100% not working. Is it TCM or pump itself?

[davidfallon]

I have a audi a6 2013. My problem is that sometimes when I'm about to take off from start it takes about 3 seconds and jumps slightly. It has been serviced. Once it going no problems in sport drive paddle shift. Pulls like a train.

[osayukiomoruyi]

My issue is that the gearbox sign comes on and goes into limp mode. It says "Gearbox Overheated"

Doing this causes the vehicle go into limp mode. All gears stops working. Whats the possible problem
