No need to pump the gear box oil through the drain bung guys. There's a black cover at the top of the gear box, at the back. Take our the 4 torque bolts and funnel 1.7L of oil through there. Also, undernear the ecu for the mechatronic unit (black ecu held in by 7 25mm torque bolts) there should be a small circular seal in the centre of the unit. If that isnt there then your unit won't hold pressure and you'll never pass the adaptions. Check the bearings in the gearbox while that unit is out also. You'll see 4 of them. Top left and right and then bottom left and right. Make sure they move all the way left, to the centre and all the way right. When the unit goes back in make sure they're all in the neutral position (centre). Just some advice from someone who's been through hell and back for a few years lol

@michaelmartin9783 2 жыл бұрын
First comment and and been following you guys for a while……. It’s pretty simple fix,The accumulator has gone in the mech, it’s more than likely fractured the mechatronic housing/body. Just beware of hairline cracks in the mechatronic body even if you can’t see them as it’s very common. Any DSG “specialist” will charge £1300 quid easily and probably attempt to do you over for a new clutch as well as I’ve seen it so many times over the years and when in reality this can be fixed for less than £150 quid with the mechatronic still on the car. Bare in mind the DQ200 box takes two separate oils: 1 litre of hydraulic oil - G 004 000 1.7 litre of gearbox oil - G 052 171 Whilst you have the mechatronic out you would be as well having a quick look over the solenoids as that’s the only other real issue with these.

@greigmackay8465 2 жыл бұрын
Very interesting video. One of the main causes of failure is lack of servicing on dsg/S-tronic gearboxes. The 6spds are every 40k mile and the more robust 7spds are every 70k. But most vag dealers do not advise owners of this, just in the same way they never advised owners of the 6 and 8spd zf boxes. I had mk6 GTI dsg and had the box serviced as soon as I bought the car as vw has fixed price servicing for the dsg/S-tronic gearboxes. Keep on top of the servicing and they work fine. Very fast changing and these 2nd gen dsg boxes are a bit smoother at pulling away in low revs compared to the first gen in the mk5 golfs. Top work again Chris & Rob 👍

Hi chris and rob amazing content is that a modified plate you put back in the mech unit as the aluminium is thicker round wear the accumulator screws to as that is the weakest parts of these mechatronic unit i would recommend using the correct bolts to fit the front cover on the mech unit but that my preference just a little help/advise if needed you need a OAM mechatronic removal tool can buy them off of ebay for about £12 you will need this refit the mech unit to the gearbox it holds the clutch forks away from the mech makes it easier to install you will also have to line all the selectors up on the back the mech unit use a Vernier Gauge And measure all 4 corners to 25 mm and in the gearbox you will have to make sure all the gear selectors are in neutral in the gearbox if these are not lined up properly it can get stuck in gear or not have certain gears when reprogramming or quick learn after installation also you dont need to pump the oil in through the drain plug i find it easier to pour in from the top just under the battery you will see the gear selector cable remove the 10mm bolt from selector and under that there is a black plastic cover remove the 4 30 torx bolt remove the cover and put a funnel in the gearbox and pour it in from the top less mess its the way i learned how to fi these mech units sorry this i lots to read but i just though i would share some of my experience with you guys hope this helps and makes sense

Hi Chris and Rob. Be careful when refitting and refilling the mechatronic it’s very sensitive apparatus. I did a world first and had a golf mk6 and did a manual to 7 speed swap DSG. This is the 0AM DQ200 gearbox. Make sure you fill exactly 0.9l of hydraulic fluid green into the mechatronic and through the fill hole not breather. When refitting ensure the gear selector actuator arms are in neutral. There are 4 in total. You will not be able to run adaptations if the gearbox is stuck in gear. I know these well. I’ll send you a link on my build to give you an idea.

Also there is 2 types of manual Vw gearbox oil for the main gearbox(not mechatronic) be careful to select the right one as Vw had used the wrong one of a period of time and gearboxes were failing as it was reacting with the metal on the sensors. There was a recall on this. Be advised do not use DSG oil for the main gearbox. It’s manual gearbox oil for the main gearbox. Always use genuine oil. DSG oil is only for the wet clutch 6 speed dq250 which this is not. Again if you want help in this please let me know and I’ll reach out on Instagram.

I had a 14 plate Octavia with the same gearbox. 65k miles it blew on the motorway. Shattered the clutch pack, bent the selector fork and would’ve cost nearly 4 grand to replace. I bought a complete second hand gearbox on eBay for £900 which luckily came with the mechatronic unit still attached. Usually these are sold separately. Only thing you might find is the dealer may need to code the unit. I was amazed as soon as the VIN number was entered from my car the mechatronic started moving 🤣

A1 and Polo forums are littered with tales of woe. There are apparently 2 types of DSG box, one for lower powered cars such as this A1, and one for more powerful engines which is supposedly more reliable. I look forward to seeing the next video(s) to find out how you get on with this one !

Looks like the engineerree of that acumulator body took account of the wall thickness under pressure but not the threads wedging it open aswell. When Me and my mate was young, we used to make gocarts out of bits of wood and pram wheels. We found some aluminium nails to make the go carts faster, never forget how light they felt back then. Thems was the days, going to the top of an abandoned multi story carpark and pushing off from the top floor and down 6 floors of ramps and the big ramp at the end :D

I've been waiting to see you do one of these. I have had dsg boxes for the last 7 years and love them. Hopefully this fix sorts you out. Loving the channel as always.
