Changing DSG Solenoid / Valve on DSG6 Mechatronic Unit 

What can I say! Following the guide you have in your description I fixed my mecatronics myself! My issue was FORCE SOLENOID N215 N216 with jerky DSG gear changes! Your guide told me exactly what to change and the video helped me install it! Many thanks

Hello thank you for the video I have a question recently my car has developed a hard shift when over around 4.5/5k revs, happens in D sport or manual (paddles) drives fine in D and sport when driving normally but when I drive it hard the shifts are hard with a slight hesitation, the car does not throw any codes and no flashing lights on dash either. dsg serviced also done basic settings and is still the same any idea what it could be? Thank you

I have a jerky first and reverse but no fault codes, is there any chances I can test the solenoids before removing the mechatronics and changing them. The car drives fine if it is not started for 3 days, but every other day when it's warm it has the problem.

IS THERE A DIFFERENCE IN THE HXU CODE TRANSMISSIONS. ALSO WHAT ARE THE PART NUMBER FOR THE REPAIR KIT, SOLENOIDS, AND WHERE DID YOU SOURCE THEM?

Very good information ❤

Thanks for the video, I find it very useful. Can you please recommend how to check if solenoids work fine and where to find documentation that shows the allowed range of resistances?

Great Video! Thank you.

Very informative video. Thank you! I have 2015 passat and I have fault for N439. Can not find which one is it.

My vw passat 2008 dsg 6 speed. No fault on vcds. But solenoid n218 measured 12 ohm? When remove valve, measured 6- 7 ohm Problem or not?

Hello MR I have Golf 4 Pacific Year 2004. 74KW 101ps Chiped +25KW 36ps. Automatik, but when it change from 1-2-3 its jump some time.. can you give me any advice. i changed filter and oil to service.

Thenks for nice Video.

Where did you get the solenoids?

zdraco i have a problem on the DSG 6 speed touran 2003 TDI. The problem happens when the car warms up and as I drive at 2000 rpm the hand starts to go up and down. the error read on the diagnostics is P0716 the gearbox oil and filter as well as the sensor have been replaced but again I have a twitch when the car heats up and shows the same error. thanks in advance otherwise you have a great see.

Hi I have a golf 5 1.9tdi dsg My vcds picked up a fault n216 short to B+ PRND was flashing and not going into reverse When I checked the resistance on the n216 it was 4.9ohms So I decided to change it and now it's still doing the same thing and the resistance is also at 4.9ohms But now it's banging into drive and still flashing after u drive for couple meters Any advice I am stuck

Hi, could you please help for a spray cleaner for the N215/216 filter? Something without alcohol Ok, but what? Thank you

Hello, I have a problem with the dsg gearbox in my golf 5 2004, when it's cold it works ok but when it warms up it starts slipping in all gears... is it the solenoids or something else?

Hi mate do you know what solenoid or part can cause no reverse, forward is ok and im also unable to carry out basic settings, I purchased this replacement Dq250 with this fault no reverse, thanks

Sir my problem is 18228 pressure control valve 2 (N216) short to plus. Why solution sir

What are symptoms of needing one replaced? I supposed you'll mention it. Having grinding upshifting into 4th & downshifting into 2nd.

Hello friend i need help, my vw passat b6 2.0 tdi v6 bmp dsg 6 automatik have a problem and on ODIS-vac diganose ,says that n216 solenoid have problem, Other diagnostics says p18149 problem i have Clutch pressure limited do u know what should i do??? TY

Hi there i have a 2010 voltwagen cc 2.0t 4 cylinder i have a code u0101 lost communication with tcm module dsg. But i check all the selonoid they look okay have a 4.1 under 6.6 .15.4

hi, can any N 216 solenoid be replaced or does it have to be a specific number?

Hi Gigi great videos have fault code 17160 have checked n215 and n219 have 5 ohm resistance and not connecting to earth should i still replace valves. Car drives in ist gear and reverse only.Thanks

What would cause jerky 1st/reverse and occasional cutting out when attempting to pull away with a dsg golf r ?

Have code p0777 transmission solenoid b stuck on . Wanted to know how is this problem fixable I have a 2009 dsg tts PRNDS flashes as well

salut am si eu un passat b6 cu cutie automata dsg si pe cutie imi da codurile de eroare: p1820 p1815 short to b+ am incercat de 2 ori sa curat solenoids dar tot aceleasi erori am si masina nu pleaca de pe loc am incerca un basic setting o resetare prnds clipeste si mai merge doar daca o pornesc in n iar dupa moare am alimentat solenoid n215 n216 si se aud ca lucreaza asta e important sa se auda? sau?mersi mult si astept cu interes raspunsul tau si martorul de motor este aprins si de frana de mana parking brake fault si service coming soon

Hello, how you determined a valves issue ? I guess by vagcom and with fault/error code ?

salut, passat 2.0 tdi 140cv 2009 dsg. in mers ca si cum ar sari din viteza si nu mai schimba pana nu opresc motorul si il pornesc din nou. am doua coduri de eroare la cutie dsg6.una este 18222 si cealalta 18243, pune ceva de control de presiune valva1 la prima eroare, iar la cealalta control de presiune valva5 N233. intrebarea este, sar putea ca amandoua erorile sa fie de la piesa N233 sau fiecare au piese diferite care sa fie stricate. cat ar costa piesele si mana de lucru . As putea sati trimit poza cum am fotografiat erorile pe tester, astept un raspuns. merci

P176A00 gear selector cannot be regulated Help !!!

Hi, my car was crashed at front and i change few salanoids valves , after replacing and filling with new oil car wount drive foult come as ( P174A00 - Partial transm. 1 valve 3 Electrical error ) do i need do adaptation ? thank you if you can help me Intermittent

Bonjour s'il vous plaît dites-moi lequel est électrovanne 2? Merci 😊

Gigi, how to perform gearbox adaptation before I can drive, if Ross-tech states, that gearbox oil has to be between 30-100°C? Is it OK if just run car still and wait till gearbox oil temperature reaches at least 30?

Does faulty n215/n216 valve make DSG slam violently into reverse or drive after performing DSG reset ?? THANK YOU. I noticed after performing the reset and putting it into drive it slams hard. It corrected itself after a 10 min drive . Could the n215 be defective thats causing this?

I have a 2008 VW R32 and I'm hoping you can steer me in the right direction - after the car's transmission temps reach 80 degrees C, the car starts to have an issue. From a stop, when moving my foot from the brake to the gas, it lurches hard. After the lurch, the car drives normally, completely smooth. It also does this in reverse. No codes whatsoever. No flashing PNDRS. I have VCDS and have performed an adaptation with no avail. I purchased a dsg service kit and that is my next step, however, I was curious what you thought? Mech unit is my suspicions. I am not sure if I should try to purchase a repair board or the solenoid kit if the problem persists or to just buy the whole control unit. I live in Tennessee and my local dealers are worthless, telling me the car is too old to work on (when I asked about a dsg service). Thank you for your time! -Alex

hi why you change this valve ? what was wrong with gearbox

Salut domnule,te-as ruga daca ma poti ajuta cu un sfat,am un Vw Passat CC 2,0 tdi cbbb 125 kw,cutie automata dsg cod LQT,i-mi apare eroarea :17252-Transmission Fluid Pressure Adaptation at limit-intermitent,mentionez ca a fost schimbat uleiul si filtrul la cutie,cu ceva timp in urma si volanta,cutia schimba foarte bine ,poate doar cand se incalzeste mai bine uleiul are cateodata tendinta de a smuci usor la plecarea de pe loc,ai vreo idee? Multumesc mult!

neata. de cateva zile nu mi-au aparut ceva erori pe CV (18222 - Pressure Control Valve 1 (N215) P1814 - 008 - Open or Short to Ground - Intermittent - MIL ON, si 8243 - Pressure Control Valve 5 (N233) P1835 - 000 - Short to Plus - Intermittent. Aceste defecte pot fi cumva remediate? am inteles ca ar da la masa si nu este defect mecanc blocul. multumesc!

salutare! cat ar costa reconditionarea modulului? la mine raporteaza N215 P1814 - 008 - Open or Short to Ground - Intermittent si N233 P1835 - 000 - Short to Plus - Intermitten. (uneori) multumesc

Sal. Am un Golf 6 1.2 TSI cu DSG 7. Dupa ce se incalzeste motorul (mers 15-20 de minute) in treptele 3,4,5,6,7 si numai la turatii intre 1800-2100 incepe sa mearga in suturi. Aceste "suturi" se inmultesc cu cat merg mai mult, dar numai in plaja aceea de turatii. Pe modulul Sport, trecand direct la turatii mai mari (>2500) nu face. Problema a inceput dupa schimbul de ulei + filtre la 60000 km. Am schimbat: adaptare clapeta de acceleratie, ambreiaj, bujii, fise, bobina, filtru de benzina MANN (6.6 bari- cel recomandat) + lant distributie (trebuia).

Sal La un touran 1.9 dsg nu intra in r la rece si apare codul P1746 releu alimentare electroventile . Ce crezi ca ar putea avea? Si unde recomanzi o reparatie ? Esti in Romania? Un tel? Mersi

Good afternoon, my friend, I need a valve, I live in Venezuela, is there an internet site where I can buy an original? @gigibelea thx

Hello. Great video. Is this the same process for changing valves on a 2013 DQ250 mechatronic unit? Thank you.

Is there a difference between the N215/N216 solenoids and the N233 solenoids? Can they be interchanged?

Salutare , am un golf 6 gti dsg6 îmi da eroare selenoid A si selenoid B circuit high, asta ar fi problema cei doi selenoizi?

Hello, thank you for the video. I have one vw golf gti 2011 dsg. I have problem with first gear and rear. When the car is hot no possible to put in rear or first, PNRD light flash on the board. If you start fast and when the car is cold it drives fine. If the car is hot and you are in low mileage (second or third gear) the gearbox go on neutral you can't accelerate, the greenlight "press on brake come up" . When read the defaults, there are 2 : - p1815 : valve 1, short circuit to b+ - p1820: valve 2, short circuit to b+ We take the mechatronic out. I tested the ohms on all the solenoids everythings it s fine. What do you think it s the problem? N215/N216? How can i test it? Thank you Nice job

Got CEL P0772 yesterday. Car has been running great no other codes and have not noticed any decreased fuel economy. Solenoid stuck open is code. You think that’s is actually just a bad solenoid.

Hi I have a open circuit fault relating to the n215. The code is p1814. I’ve removed the mechatronics, tested the valve which is reading good, checked the wiring harness which is all good and today I removed the plastic cover hoping to see a broken wire/solder joint but everything seems fine. Does this sound like a fault with the main board to you? Many thanks in advance JP.

Hi GigiBelea I would like to ask, maybe you can help me. The problem is i can shifting from p to any gear, if i put it neutral, the car dont roll and any gears dont do anything. I have a p0771 n92 valve failure the valve is good So i think if the mechatronic is not inserted in the gearbox i should also change gears, am i right? So it can be mechanical problem, not mechatronical? Best regards

HI, my golf gti mk6 2009 has had a solenoid a pressure control stuck on “on” code p0747. I garage said they are repairing the mechatronic but they are saying that they cant just change the solenoid “a”. Could you please tell me if that is true or are they just trying to make me spend more money on the repair process ? Thanks!

when i turn the switch whit no engine running prnds light up i pull the key out and than in en turn it on again prnds light again up and sometime i turn the engine un prnds light again up so i play whit it till the park light only light up thn i can drive so the trouble is i most play with the ignition switch to not to get the prnds lights so mi question is what is the trouble because when i driving the car when i get the light only p on the car drive good the whole day soon i get the ignition key out and wanna turn the engine on prnds light up than i turn the switch of and on off and on start the engine and it dooes good again what can it be collega

how can you know what valve is faulty ? i car can shift very good when running, but it it very very jerky at idle when i shift from park to reverse, or reverse to drive

Hello.My vehicle dsg 6 2013 passat.P0868 failure. The transmission oil level is normal. What brand of oil do you recommend to put.thanks

I like your video please thx

I will measure the n217 valva see what it give must be 0.5 ohm or what if the case is that the valve is fault than i will replace it and see what it does

Hello Gigi ! Can u tell me if it a mechatronic or clutch problem ? For example i am going with 65 km/h with 6 gear , i press acceleration but does not change into 5 , it still goes with 6 even if it is with verry low rmp , i have to press harder on the acceleration to make the changing , and the enging is forging to go faster and when it changes the gear it makes a an unconfortable boost . And other problem not sure if it is a problem , when i let the foot of the pedal in 2 maxim 3 meters the gear changes intro second gear with no acceleration. Thankyou verry much !

After replacing the solenoids will this unit need to be uploaded with a tune/program?

What measuring value should the large solenoid be?

What does CLUTCH 1 OPENS UNINTENTIONALLY mean or how do you fix it?

I have code p0746 pressure control valve stuck off on a vw cc don't know much about it?

Hallo I have p0868 error code do yo know what that is

Hi Gigi I have a a3 2006 2l T dsg , currently experiencing an issue when car runs for about 20 mins . Flashes prnd on cluster and car stays in 1 . Code was p0776 ,pressure control solenoid b stuck/off . Any help please and thanks

2.0 tdi 140kw dsg6,Passat 2007. I have a problem that car is jerling when goes to reverse or 1st gear. Can You tell me if it is clutch pack or mechatronic unit? no error mesages.

Hi Gigi... I have this fault 19143 - Unexpected / Implausible Mechanical Gear Disengagement Its Skoda Superb 2.0 tdi 125kw with DQ250 2E The problem when i try to change from Drive to Neutral. Gearbox start to clunk VERY HARD(almost everytime) and sometimes gear indicator disappears on dashboard. Then i only can to engage gearbox in second gear when put in drive again, before i restart a car. I change oil and filter, gearbox work from then excellent, but after 7000-8000km same problem start again. Change oil one more time but now nothing happend, same problem. Sometimes hard downshits from 3-2 and 2-1. Do you have idea what it can be? Thank you very much for the video :)

hi i have vw 7 speed 6 month ago i replace oil now car from D bk to R I DONT now what happens thanks

How many ohms will a defective bad n215/n216 show??

Salut Gigi. De unde achiziționezi solenoizii? Am nevoie ptr un dsg 7. Am pățit o iar. S a fisurat iar baza acumulatorului chiar în dreptul supapei pe unde respira mechatronicul și mi a dat uleiul afara. Și am mers cu ea pana a pus cutia pe liber. Am desfăcut mechatronicul și am resudat baza acumulatorului dar după ce îl montez îmi cupleza cutia într o viteza pe înainte( bănuiesc ca a 2-a, pentru ca pleacă un pic mai repde de pe loc decât normal) și nu o mai pune pe liber. Pentru ca dacă dau reverse îmi da șocuri și se oprește motorul. Cred ca este un solenoid nasol care a rămas cuplat. ( o sa îi masor săptămâna ăsta)

hi my friend I have golf 6 automatic gearbox it skip 3gear and 5 how can solve problem

Hello again Gigi, do you have torque specs for the 02e mechatronic solenoids?

If i change de dsg oil wil it work good again because maybe is the oil old and when the oil get to hot than it wil send fault prnds 2 because when the car is cold i dont have prnds flashing but engine symbole is on in the dash do you think changing oil will help

when replacing selenoids do you need to do basic setting ?

Hallo, Collega Gigi my vw golf V GTI dsg model 2004 flash prnds i read it out the dsg unit and errors code p1824 selenoid controle valve close to massa and p1604 sometime the car when i turn the switch on the prnds is flashing when i pull the key out and in back to switch for a couple times than it work good the prnds dont flash. and when i drive whit the prnds flashes the car dont switch to gear and stay in 2 gear than i turn the switch off than again on and of till the prnds dont flah than i can drive again normaal what can be the trouble thank u

I have a 2012 passat sel tdi. 6 dsg trans. The car drives without any shifting issues however it randomly faults for the same code P0776 n-217 main pressure off. Help please?

Good morning, some guidance on the P-2711 code, what does the fault code refer to? mechatronics or clutch?

What happens if you don't to the adaptation procedure after you replace any one of these valves?

Do you have to re-program the unit after changing the solenoids. Or is it ready to go.?

Please on fault code(18228) P1820 pressure control solenoid 'b' control circuit high- Implausible signal...Does this requires rebuild mechatronic or only have to change PCS b.Thank you

2008 golf gti dsg When the car is hot and you take off from a stop it is jumpy but shifts through gears fine ? Any idea what is could be ?

Salute to you for great perspective. I replaced a DMF in my 06 vw tdi with dsg 6 speed. While there I changed the clutches. Now I'm having clutch slipping/chattering in all gears. It is driveable and shifts fine. No codes on VCDS. I logged 11/12 in measuring block and under throttle clutch pressure rising but drops when slip. What do you think master @Gigibelea

hello i have a passat b6 with automatic dsg box and on the box i give the error codes: p1820 p1815 short to b + i tried 2 times to clean the solenoids but the same errors i have and the car does not go away i try a basic setting a reset prnds blinks and goes only if I start in n and after dying I powered solenoid n215 n216 and it is heard that works this is important to hear? or "thank you very much and I look forward to your response n the light check engine and service coming soon is turn on an parking brake fault

Hi there, I happen to have my DSG tranny unmounted due to the constant failure to engage 1st gear and the pulsations on reverse gear. A couple months ago (January 2016) I had the same problem. I ran a VAGCOM scan to find out if there was something wrong with the mechatronic module but it didn't show any DTC. As I read previously on a blog where some guys had encountered the same problem and as a suggestion for this problem was to perform an oil & filter change followed by performing Basic Settings with VAGCOM, I did as suggested and problem seem to dissapear. Back in August 2016 was when the problem became worse, pulsations on reverse were more constant and engagement of 1st gear happened at almost 2500 RPM. I started a routine inspection only to find out that water was being leaked on to the transmission oil due to a failure in the cooler. My question is: do you think problem in the lag of engagement and pulsations are due to water leaking into the oil system or my mechatronic module is the problem? Please advise. Thank you very much.

hello and thanks for your help... if you may help in my issue prnd flashing error codes: 18223 - pressure control valve1(215) : short to plus P1815-008 - implausible signal 18228 - pressure control valve1(216) : short to plus P1820-008 - implausible signal. moniter with vcd pressure on k1 and k2 build up for a second then it goes to zero please advice.

Can I test the solenoids with a multimeter without pulling the mech out? Maybe I could test them from the harness?? Thanks

Hello sir, first of all an aweesome video you have made. I hope its not a problem for you to answer me one question. Could a bad solenoid be the reason my 2006 Audi A3 SB with dsg is making a clunk (metal on metal) sound when downshift from 3rd to 2nd gear? Just a sound, it doesn't affect the driving at all and the gearbox shifts precise and fluid like a dream... Thanks anyway and best regards!

Hello if there is a false connection should I replace the valve or the board connecting the valves

Hi I have a fault hoping you could help 17160 Pressure Control Solenoid 2 Open or Short to Ground

Good day Can solenoid from golf 6 gti mechatronics work on a golf 5 gti mechatronics?

Salut Gigi ma poti ajuta sau indruma unde sa ma duc sa aflu data de fabricatie a chitului mecatronic? Am fost tepuit de un service auto ca mi le a schimbat si dupa 13 mii de km masina s a stricat... am niște poze cu valvele nu pot adauga poza am codurile S46k0969 3BW2R31C 0BH927339A

Gigi te salut. Cum pot sa iau contact cu tine? Am nevoie de niste sfaturi cu privire la video-ul tau. Nu numar de telefon sau un mail daca poti sa-mi lasi? Cu stima. Victor

Hello Gigi, my name is Humberto, I write to you for this way since I have a problem with my transmission DSG6 of my Passat 2007, which mechatronics is equal to that of your video in RU-vid... The problem is that when the vehicle warms this one, the car changes to 3 (third) speed, in cold the car does not present fault ... they did a diagnosis to him and I throw a mistake in some of the seleniodes N215 ... the mechanic invested or I change the selenoide N215 to the N216 and the N216 to the N215, and this one throws the same fault, bony the selenoide N215 ... my question is ... I must change the selenoide or must change the complete mechatronics? ... here in my country it is very difficult to obtain such supplies .. and they are very costly ... you can give me an advising in the matter .. already my vehicle is 2 months old in the workshop and they do not meet on the fault...Thank you friend for your prompt reputting... Regards.. And he forgives for my English evil

salut am o problema cu cutia de la audi a6 2010 eroarea e p178f ce crezi ca ar trebui sa fac

Salut. Te rog sa ma ajuți cu un sfat. De curând am problema la cutia de viteze. Nu imi intra in marsalier si panoul luminează intermitent. Pe vcds imi da codul de eroare P18222 care ma duce la valva de presiune N215, e posibil sa fie un scurtcircuit sau trebuie sa schimb tot solenoidul? Unde as putea sa gasesc asa ceva. Mulțumesc

Salut. Poti să-mi spui te rog frumos, cum se face adaptarea cutie dupa schimbarea valvei n215. mulțumesc.

Hello, i have a audi a3 dsg 2010, had a smash on the front and damaged the casing of the mechatronic, a slight dent on the end unfortunately, when opened noticed the pressure valve on the bottom far left side was broken, replaced this with another pressure valve, and still get pressure valve error code on vagcom. When the car heats up it does not drive. But when cold it drives in all gears. What I would like ot know would the new valve need to be coded into the car? thanks any advice would be appreciated.

Salut Gigi....tot respectul pt toata munca ta! Am o intrebare...dq250 2009 poate fi scimbata cu dq250 2016( acelas cod de cutie la ambele) multumesc mult
