Safety Recall 34F6 on 06 Dec 2013: Over time, the internal gearbox lead frame may corrode due to certain gearbox fluid additives used in original gearbox filling. If corrosion deposits collect between electrical wiring, an electrical short in the power supply may result in blown gearbox fuses and the deactivation of the gearbox hydraulic pump or mechatronic unit. The driver will immediately be alerted by a flashing gear indicator warning lamp in the instrument cluster and the vehicle will lose motive power but can coast to a stop. Loss of motive power while driving may increase the risk of a crash.
- Corrective Action Replace existing synthetic gearbox oil with a new, mineralbased oil with non-corrosive additives to prevent future failure: static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2013...

Just a tip for those that don't know, in DSG dry-clutch models built before 2015 their is a design issue where the pressure accumulator can crack at the base. This results in a pressure loss that prevents gear changes happening. There is a recall in some countries and VW/Skoda/SEAT are replacing the mechatronics units as a warranty issue.

I've always been a bit unsure of the wizardry that goes on inside a DSG gearbox. What an excellent video, everything is clearly explained, good audio and good camerawork.

I've had two cars with DSG gearboxes, and never had any issues with them, but they do give me the fear. I'm not sure how many people are out there who'll do diagnosis at this level. I now have a car with three pedals and a lever that you wobble around. ;-)

Dan, there is a simpler way to test for short circuits. Instead of installing a new fuse, connect a 12 V tester to both fuse terminals. In the event of a short circuit, the light in the tester will turn on and stay on (12 V on one side, short to ground on the other). Otherwise, it can turn on a split second, dim and turn off. Thanks for your effort for this video.

Good music selection!

Thoroughly enjoyed it Dan. And even though there was a TSB it was good to see the tear down to prove it and that no other apparent issues were present. Thanks!

Only caught the end of it but have the pleasure of watching from the start, even VW gearboxes are interesting on Diagnosedan!

Brilliant video and explanation Mr. Dan. This is next level explanation of a complex fault on a dsg gearbox. You make it seem so easy to repair. Thank you.

Am always impressed Dan the way you keep the workshop clean and tidy and everything that you might need is right there at hand, I wish a lot of workshops would do the same!

Hey Dan , just stumbled across you channel . What a great tutorial on the DSG gearbox . I owned one in a VW EOS 2008 model , never had any problems with it . As a car guy I really appreciate the fusion of the two manual gearbox & clutch setups , controlled by the mechatronic and your very good explanation of how it works . Great work !

Thank you, Mr. Dan, I really enjoy every episode you upload. Now I am thinking of opening a car repair shop despite the money shortage, but I am determined to do that

I really like your talking approach to the audience. You make your diagnostic methodology and the reasons for it quite clear. This is quite a bit better than doing it only while you are doing the work. It's very good to discuss the plans first. Thx very much.

A fascinating insight into a dsg gearbox electronics. As a motorcycle mechanic myself I find this to be a really well presented and step by step process of elimination to find the reason for the short circuit.
