DSG Shift Problem in Full Auto

<< < (3/3)

maple:
I had problems with my DSG shifting randomly on a regular basis in D mode last year. This was in my well serviced and looked after stock 08 MK5 gti. It was randomly changing down from 5th to 4th or even 3rd when not necessary and driving me nuts. I was regularly using the manual shift option for smoother gear changes. After describing the symptoms to several auto gearbox 'specialists' and even paying handsomely for a DSG reset and extra gearbox fluid service and diagnostic, all were convinced the clutch packs or mechatronics were faulty. The typical quotes were between £1000-£4000 to fix the issue. Then a few months later, after all hair torn out, the ABS warning light briefly appeared during a drive, the fault code pointed to the n/s/r wheel speed sensor. I had both rear speed sensors and hubs replaced and issue was sorted. Gear changes are silky smooth now.
