Good job

Does this error don't let you lock down the doors ? I'm having that issue

Great video. This has happened to my S3 and this explains it really well. A great service to the wv/audi community!

Hey Aaron, cheers for posting this guide and going bit by bit with how to address it. Very informative and helpful. My car is Seat Leon FR ST 16 plate so I guess will need slightly different approach but hopefully similar part. First though I will try to work with lever first as error pops irregularly. 😅

Thank you so much .... first attempt worked #JHB

Very helpful.

Top top video, just done this to my mk7 golf r and it took me 45minutes and im a novice when it comes to these things. Cheers bro I hope this video helps even more people out there and not get ripped off by main dealer for a whole new shifter

Wow. What a star. Thanks! Your initial quick fix has worked (for now). Thanks again 😊

you just saved me $5K as the dealer wanted to put in a whole new shift assembly to fix this issue

I have P0820 on vcds and PRND disappeared from the cluster they won't show up the golf 6 drives fine and dsg gear shifts smooth all gears do u think it's the micro switch?

Your Video helped a lot. Was able to put the part in myself and error message is gone.

B1916F2 how fix code volkswagen e-golf backup battery fault

This guy is a idiot. You don’t need both parts. Just one part. 🤦🏽‍♂️😂

Thank you Aaron I had this exact fault the other day got the part white top part fitted it no problem fault cleared, then I scanned the car with OB11 and cleared all the faults brilliant 👌

Hi Aaron, I kind of have the same issue with my 2019 Skoda Octavia 1.0 Petrol DSG gearbox. The error I get on the tester is B116229 and it show on the computer “Only leave vehicle in position P”. Does this video apply to my car as well? Many thanks.

That was a fantastic video thank you, I’ve got a Skoda Octavia elegance estate, and it looks like it’s very similar so I will send it back to the garage. I bought it from Ann since I will do it under warranty. If not I know it’s not going to be a massive issue.

Hi, i have this issue with a T6.1 transporter. Do you offer advice at all for what part i need or do you fix this as a service?

Thank you for your video! I thought the switch had to be changed internally rather than fitting an external replacement. I’ve just done this to my Mk7.5 Golf. Thank you

Hi buddy, I have a similar problem in my Audi a3, “Electronic fault. Shift to P before leaving vehicle. Please contact workshop.” It only pops up when I move off. Its always when the car shifts from 1st to 2nd gear. If I stay stationary with the engine running it will never pop up. Only when I move away. Drives fine just annoying. Is that gunna be it you reckon? It’s intermittent as well so sometimes I don’t have the fault for days and then it comes back.

Hi Aaron, I did this with my Audi A3 and it seems to have done the trick to get rid of the warning on the dash. However when I run a search with an obd tool, I am given the below errors now which weren't present before. UO103 - Lost Communication With Gear Shift Control Module "A" 10632 and 10763 transmission faults 32833 abs and 32837 - HV Electronics Coolant Pump Control, Short to GND When running a google search, I'm guessing it's because the microswitch is now in play and the original sensor isn't accessible anymore so that might be it I have no warnings on the dash so I will try clear the errors via obd and see if they pop up again. Any insight from yourself?

So when wanting to drive this vehicle, does it sometimes refuse to go into gear? Or does it just ''pop up'' like a message you can ignore?

Thanks Aaron! My 2016 Golf GTi PP has had this message for the last six months. Ocassionally would clear for a couple of weeks with the rapid back/forth moving of the shifter, but always returned. Bought the part just in case and fitted today. Took about 40 mins being careful and without removal of all the interior trim except the cubby and a/c control cover. Benefit of not having huge hands I suppose! 😆

Ive had this message appear intermittantly for 3years (golf mk7), more recently ive had an issue one morning where ive had error gearbox, an hour later it worked, error was U010300 lost communication with gear shift module. Do you think this fix could fix all my problems?

Do you know if this solution is possible for vw passat b7 year 2011?

Hey mate. This happened to mine today, i drove home from the supermarket (5 minutes) and it seems fine now. Should i worry yet? And what happens if you keep driving like that? Cheers mate, appreciate the video.

Great video mate. Quick question if anyone can help. I've had this done on my vw golf mk7 r by a audi technician. Only issue I have now is that when I switch car on and put gear into d or r it makes an audible beep noise which lasts for around 10 seconds then goes away until you next switch car on. Any ideas on why? Thanks

Hi and thank you for that video. I did get my microswitch today. I have already installed it. It took me only just 20min. I have the same DSG. Two questions, the little metal Pin is only for adjustment. So it dont belong there if finished. This is what the installation guide says... Second question, did you have Poblems with your key after driving - put it in P - engine off. Sometimes my key is locked in the keyhole. I have to start the engine again - P to Reverse and back to P and then i can get my key out... Its very weired... Did you also have some weired problems with the new microswitch?

Very informative video. Google brought me here after seeing that message pop up on my DSG Skoda Dash. I'll check to see which switch I have, but thank God for people like you to make our lives simpler.

Does moving shifter up and down cure it ? Mines been on off for a few days then on again for literally seconds car seems to drive fine no stiffness in gear selection

So how you do it on a Audi s3 8v

I did replace the shifter with the same part number and the message still poping up, any help?

Is a DSG Q250 ? Because i want order one and i want to be sure . Thanks !

Hi, great video! Was the car in P the whole time you did the repair? Also was the key in the ignition or should it be out durng the repair? Thanks

Do you reckon this issue would fail an MOT if it was active on the dash at the time of check? Cheers for the video.

Sorry to ask, what is the name of the actual part, for my 2016 Golf.

will this work on my mk7 2016 golf GTD ? thx in advance

Do you think spraying contact cleaner might help as well?

Thanks for the video....the black one went on my Polo GTi 6C 2016..Thank you save my $500.

If ignored, will it affect the gearbox or any other area of the vehicle?

Why even bother to fix the issue? It doesnt affect my driving as far as i have seen

Would this work for VW Polo 2018 DSG? It also has white cover just like the one in the video (not the black one). I cannot find any info about VW Polo.

Is it harmful for the car to drive with this fault?

nice guide, I took fewer parts apart, why did you take the tunnel apart? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DgFxG8UTozU.html

Thank you so much sir

Regret selling it?

Thanks for this video :) are you able to advise the person in the North who can fit these?

Hi great video, are you able to explain why u took the pin out of the part and if it needs to go back in or not.. Thanks

I have a audi a3 8v where can i pay this

Will this work on Golf GTE 2015? And were do I buy the part?

Thanks for the vid. Won’t work on a dsg 6 Seat Leon Cupra 290 2017, which has the white base, but not this special part. I’ll take it to Seat service and keep you posted then.
