Dsg repairs - Milta Technology in Bristol?

(1/2) > >>

Lewo:
Having spoken to Milta today, I'm still trying to decide on what to do with my car..
Options are ;
1. Thought about booking it in somewhere and have a 2nd hand dsg box fitted probably looking at around £1200 with labour & recovery costs and no guarantee that it's ok.
2. Take it to a gearbox specialist for them to fix the mechatronics and also replace the clutch packs & probably the flywheel given that car is on 140k. Thanks going to be around £2800 all in with recovery so not cheap.
3. Sell the car as is. Not what I really want to do tbh as I love it still after 7 years.

Has anyone else used Milta for dsg repairs? They seemed to know the score on the phone.

Thanks for any advice.  :happy2:

Greig will be able to confirm if this might be of any help as this is his thread but found this

GreigC:
It’s most likely the solenoids on the mechatronics mainboard… The most common being N215/N216 solenoids…and if one of yours is worn/failed it can’t select gears properly. If you decide to replace it you change both solenoids. Changing the valves might solve your problem (N215 / N216). Only buy genuine Borg Warner no Chinese or other brands.

I’d be trying this first personally… before changing the whole mechatronics unit for another… it’s my understanding that the mechatronics unit needs to come from same make and model of car otherwise it will require coding. Before buying any parts remove and check your mechatronics board physically for any burn marks or obvious damage…because your issue might be electrical…then you will need to change the whole mechatronics unit.


When you call a gearbox specialist or garage they don’t want you coming back complaining if they pick the wrong issue. So as a precaution they will want you to replace the mechatronics board & clutch packs together.

You don’t need to change your clutch packs or flywheel unless you have clutch slip or chattering from the flywheel your issue is the mechatronics.

This is the genuine solenoid:

Belly pan gasket:

You will need two solenoids… they unscrew from the board very easy. Then you will need new DSG fluid, filter, belly pan gasket, DSG sump o-ring, perform adaptations reset via VAGCOM software and checking the DSG fluid is at correct level.

Here is an handy website to check also for common 6 speed DSG issues. You could also email the guy on the webpage with your fault code… he will point you to the issue possibly better than me.
