omeydz's Golf MK6 TSI - GTI/R20 Hybrid *DSG converted*
omeydz:
So Iv tried to do basic settings and even that does not work despite following correct procedures this time.
Spoken to a VW tech mate of mine who suggests that the clutch or the actuating mechanism from the mechatronics is faulty in some way and that is nothing basic settings will fix.
With all this news, and the fact gearbox was unused dealer stock, Iv lost faith in this gearbox. I shouldn't be the one to fork out repairs for gearbox that should be fully working. Mechatronics are a 4 figure sum and clutch is around £400 for LuK Repset so its a false economy to try and repair it and I couldnt repair it with my limited expertise so gearbox specialist's labour would be on top.
Asked the seller to repair it or give me a full refund, awaiting their reply but either way the gearbox will have to come out again and await repair/look for a replacement box :fighting: :fighting: :fighting: :fighting:
Iv come tooooo far to put the manual box back in. I knew something would inevitably go wrong due to my mistake but the gearbox seems to be the faulty piece of my DSG coversion project. FFS!

All parts supplied as new or unused should legally have 3 months warranty so you shouldn't have to pay a penny.
omeydz:
Hope so.
To be honest if its easily repairable I'd rather they repaired it as these gearboxes are quite rare and Im struggling to find a replacement from a scrappie. People are selling these used for more expensive than I got this one from dealer supply (maybe they knew it was faulty hence price but kept hush?!?!)
Just want a working gearbox now. Project has gone on long enough and I want to enjoy my hard work. Cannot believe of everything that could have happened, the gearbox itself was a culprit. :sad1:
th3_f15t:
All part of the learning game mate, it is the worst at times but only makes the good times that much better. I have to do an engine and gearbox swap with my mk4 V5 so my chances of finding things don't work is much higher but you know what? Just enjoy the fun you have, even if it doesn't seem that way.
Would you rather be stuck in being one of the first people to do a manual-to-DSG swap, or sat about wishing you were?

Firstly, ten out of ten for your commitment and effort on this challenge! :congrats:
I assume you bought the box off a VW dealer? I wonder if their master tech would look at the issue since it's their part which is faulty and isn't an unrealistic request since you bought it in good faith!
