well after my car has been in the dealership for 3 weeks after breaking down on the A1 i got my car back.
Nice £1000 bill covered by warranty for new air con compressor, however they also did a dsg oil change and now I've no idea what gear i'm in on the MFD muti function display  :fighting:

this is getting beyond a joke

anyone know if its the ****wits reflashing my ecu, and if so how do I get the display back.

sarcastic  :congrats:

seriously I've had about enough of VW ownership after just 5 months.

if anyone wants to buy my car they are more than welcome. pm for details. Has the all important new air con compressor fitted!  :signLOL:

Take it back to the dealer and complain.
More than likely a disconnected connector from the mechatronic unit.
Without traction power is nothing!

It maybe a coding that isnt correct for automatic transmission, but the best solution given the issues youve had with the car is to go back to the dealer and give them a damn good roasting!  And please make sure to post up the garage in question so we can all avoid them like the plague!
