Mechatronics problems ED30

[Mitch H]

I own an 07 dsg edition 30

Having Mechatronics problems :( was on the motorway on my way to a car show with friends for the weekend
Driving along in auto car went to downshift and lost all drive and PNRDS lights started flashing, pulled over turned car off and on again and everything back to normal. 5 mile down road used all gears everything fine. Then changing from 5th to 6th same thing happened again and engine management light on aswell. Car recovered home and diagnostic plugged on. (Car still drives as normal again but engine management light on and few codes stored too)

Got this same code stored 3 times..
18115 - interference in Mechatronic module

Also have
 p0441 - tank venting system incorrect flow
(Not sure if this is related I had just filled right up ready for a long drive to a car show but sadly never made it :( )

P1624 - malfunction indication lamp
(Think this is just to get me to plug on to find the transmission fault codes?)

From what I've read it's going to be the Mechatronics,
Car is going to a transmission garage tomorrow.
Probs gunna be new Mechatronics or send the old one to ecutesting?
Not cheap either way :(

Kind of confused what warranty these dsg boxes have and if there was/wasn't a recall?
I may give vw a call although I don't think they will be intrested

There was a recall but I think it was only in hot country's.
Ours were fine supposedly.

VW my offer a contribution towards a replacement depending where you got the car, customer loyalty, service history etc.

Even then tho it's cheaper to send it away to be repaired if it's possible.

out of interest did you manage to sort this?

 

[wombar]

Yeah, it would be great if you could keep us up to date. I've got my fingers crossed it never happens to my car, but I'm just not that lucky

How much does it cost to fix these problems compared to the £1000 bill often found with a manual box when the clutch and flywheel needs doing?
Would make an interesting comparison

New mechatronics? Plus fitting? Not much change from 2000quid

Only just got it into transmission garage so we shall see. Think I'm gunna have the decision to make.
New Mechatronics or send mine to ecutesting for repair..
