Hi
Definitely not my cup of tea... but, sometimes you got to do what you got to do...😋
So, 2011 A3 S Tronic, or DSG, driving ok, but only engaging reverse and even gears, 2nd, 4th and 6th gears... the selected gear on the cluster blinking, and no 1st, 3rd, 5th or 7th gears available...
In the gear box ecu, a fault reporting that it was "unable to engage 1st gear", PXXX...
Let me tell you in advance, that I have skipped loads of information on this video, the way things unfolded, I was unable to record every step of the way... that said, hopefully there is still good and enough information to help others, and to shed some light on what was causing the problem and how you can potentially also get yours sorted.

Follow me on this video to find out what was the problem and how to resolve it.
Hope you enjoy the video.
Any questions or comments put them below.
Like always, thank you for watching!

Good morning Luis! Great video again diagnosing and repairing a faulty clutch. The car interior by the way for a 2011 vehicle looks immaculate and I suspect the parts replaced were original or quality OEM parts, oils not scrimping over used parts. Would you mind sharing the video fix for the megatronic unit recorded 24:35 on your current video clip? Pleased you had time to cook a Sunday meal for the hungry family and hope that your busy colleague Elder received a few bottles of lagers for helping out 😊

@bfe5881 3 месяца назад

Gear oil capacity is 1,7ltr in a DSG DQ200. In the beginning of the video you mentioned 2 ltr. Secondly the oil you drained from the gearbox clearly showed metal debris, which is a potential sign of a bearing wear down which you will not see by only looking at the gear wheels through the acces for the Mechatronics. You might expect that these metal debris would gather at the position magnets for the shifter forks, but they could also be collected on the magnet at the bottom af the gear box, which you will only see if you open it. In my opinion the gearbox should have been opened for inspection to clarify any bearing damages. ;)

@LMAutoRepairs 3 месяца назад

300ml surely will not make a difference... Lost the count of how many I filled with 2 litres... lol Agree, open the box was probably the best option... but I can only do what the owner is willing to pay for... 👍👍👍

Not a rumour about the oil Luis. It is true. Just like "universal" ATF oil. Don't use it. Further, 👍👍👍great job. ( edit ) I was thinking, this is actually not a job for anyone who want to save some money on a repair. I have seen 3 clutch changes, done by " mechanics ", that came to us after major failures. For some people it is not as straightforward. If they would have read a repair manual instead of watching a video it might have saved them some trouble.

It doesnt use 2litres of oil it takes a max from dry 1.7l and when draining and refilling 1.5l there is always 200ml or so in the box

@LMAutoRepairs 3 месяца назад

Makes no difference 300ml... 👍👍👍

@shimon2476 3 месяца назад

@@LMAutoRepairs it most certainly does! The additional pressure acts on the back of the TCM which causes certain error faults! I have diagnosed and fixed this problem because people tend to think 300ml is not a big deal.

@LMAutoRepairs 3 месяца назад

I agree to disagree... There is no pressure inside the gearbox... I am not even sure what you are referring to... The gearbox uses a "splash lubrication" system... Don't know where you think the pressure comes from...

@@LMAutoRepairs I bought a salvage 2019 108. Repairs all done but it has no power to lots of circuits including the power steering and no power to the OBD port. It starts and runs fine. I am at my wits’ end - it needs your troubleshooting skills! Slightly more to the story, but can go in to that if you are willing to take the job on.

Have you checked diagrams, see where the obd port and power steering are powered from? It might be a common problem causing all those issues...

@kitcarbuild3927 Год назад

@@LMAutoRepairs I have as best I can. It must be a common issue as most of the circuits that don’t power are inside the car and I am assuming controlled by the BCM. The accident broke the alternator connector, so not sure if that caused a short. The guy who repaired it ran it off a jump pack to move it and it did need some welding. There is always the possibility that he accidentally reversed the jump pack terminals or didn’t fully disconnect the battery when welding. Could either of these have damaged the BCM? I have checked all fuses and all are fine.
