Polo 6 TSI, (DSG) Gear shifting issues

Post by Ladimafx »

Hi guys, My Name is Ladima, I am a new member here from Namibia.

I own a Polo 6 TSI with a DSG gearbox. The car has +-64 000km. i encountered a problem with Shifting of gears from P to D, and from P to R, (P=Park, D=Drive, R=Reverse) first attempt the R/D doesn't engage, they just start flashing on the dash screen and car wont move. its Only the second attempt when you **** it back to P and R/D, only then it will engage. I then took it to a mechanic for diagnostic. he then said there was some fault on the Mechatronics showing low pressure. although there was no any fault indicating light on the car dash screen. he ordered a mechatronic kit and he serviced it...and the car was fine since then. but after only 3 days, same issue started again(flashing of Drive and Reverse gears) . now he said i must take the car back so he check again. I'm yet to take it back. Does anybody experience something like this before...thank i have to look out for when i take it to the mechanic?

Thank you.

What the latest update with your car? Sometimes it doesnt help to just replace parts without identifying the root cause. DSG/Auto boxes requires proper tools and skills to work on so not every mechanic out there can fix properly. So keep us posted and let us know how it all went. Thanx
