Just a tip for those that don't know, in DSG dry-clutch models built before 2015 their is a design issue where the pressure accumulator can crack at the base. This results in a pressure loss that prevents gear changes happening. There is a recall in some countries and VW/Skoda/SEAT are replacing the mechatronics units as a warranty issue.

Good job Dan! Oil specification is very important! For those manual gear box required GL-4 oil, don’t use GL-5 oil because the additive for EP of GL-5 contains sulphur which could cause wear of soft metals of synchromesh gears, the worn soft metals caused a short circuit in the VW dry DSG.

Dear Dan, Thank you for all the things that you show us. A funny side note - I noticed my 65 year old wife has been watching your video's. Recently my wife has started asking questions about various automotive technologies. Last night she asked a question and I got the answer wrong, as a DIYer that happens. She informed my that Diagnose Dan says this is really the issue. The really interesting thing is my wife is not an automotive or technology person, but now I feel secure she would be able to take her car to a dealer and not get taken. The only down side is that I can no longer hang out in my garage telling her that I am working on a problem.... 🙂

@masterautoreviews1546 4 года назад

Good video as always ! A recommendation from my side. First remove the TCU from the hydraulic block and only afterwards remove its cover. Inside the sealed enclosure you have either a ceramic substrate with bare die electronic components (gen. 1) or a HDI PCB with the same bare die components (gen. 2). By removing the cover while you are still disassembling the unit you risk touching the board. If that happens there is a high risk of damage to the wire bonds or the actual bare die electronic components which are a lot more fragile than the normal, packaged ones. Keep up with the good work !

@DamirUlovec 4 года назад

Dan, there is a simpler way to test for short circuits. Instead of installing a new fuse, connect a 12 V tester to both fuse terminals. In the event of a short circuit, the light in the tester will turn on and stay on (12 V on one side, short to ground on the other). Otherwise, it can turn on a split second, dim and turn off. Thanks for your effort for this video.

Thank you to shared this video. Checked the price of DQ200 DSG trans refurbished (550 pound) and the tcu (125 pound) on ebay to understand the reason why you decided to the refurbish direction. All the other components were in decent shape as you told, maybe would worth a try to change the tcu only. Of course additional programming would need in this case. It would be great to check the damage of the tcu further to assess wether it is repairable or not at reasonable work investment. Somtimes two or three cheap (less than 3 USD per piece) components are burned and that is all. What a waste of material and money. Anyway I enjoy your videos find details very usefull all the time.

Leave it and it might resort to normal (1, 2, 3, 4, etc) but then fail again.

Thank you very much Dan. You've explained the functions of a DSG gearbox in a way that even i can understand.

@TheMrBennito 2 года назад

My Renault fluence also has a dsg 6speed gearbox, I see it sometimes labeled as Getrag in the specifications. Semi-automatic, dry clutch.Thanks Dan, very informative. Glad I just put a new battery in :) By the way, I completely agree with your appreciation of how DSG works. It is as smooth and snappy as my former Chrysler 300m V6, I only use the semi, shifting most if the time at 2000-2200rpm

@middlecovemotors2474 4 года назад

Always mechatronic failure, although I've seen clutch failure, flywheel failure, slipper bearing failure, solenoid and actuator failure.... the best is hydraulic pump failure! What a mess!

You forget the broken Acumulator 😉

@middlecovemotors2474 4 года назад

@@Diagnosedan Totally, that looks awesome when they fail.

For the accumulator failure you have to be careful with disassemble. Last time we had a lot of problems with customers who putted the wrong oil in the mechatronic 😁

Am new to your channel. But i son as i saw the detailed way you started explaining 50 % of transmission problems. Are due because of low battery voltage. I was hooked. I thank you. I subscribed already.!!

@blackericdenice 4 года назад

50% of all roadside break down are related to battery or charging? Sound like someone is trying to sell something I don’t need.

@TsLeng 4 года назад

That is actually true especially in winter or during a cold snap.

@Deceptive24 4 года назад

Such a great video. So clear and now I understand exactly how the DSG mechatronics function. EXCELLENT WORK!

First Class video, the VW DSG is poorly engineered, a class action in the USA courts judged against VW, the unacceptable failure rate of the expensive part ..." USA Lemon Laws"

Other manufacturers have the same problem, it was a mistake from the inventor and was fixed in man other cars too. I know of Kia and Mercedes that has changed the control unit because boards fried like that.

@SeersantLoom 4 года назад

My personal preference is manual transmission. There are less things to go wrong and by my understanding, it usually has potential for a tad better fuel economy. About DSG. You know it is not good if you get one to act up twice during test drive of a dealer demo car (Skoda Superb). That one had noticeable delay between applying throttle and taking off, also did not like uphill maneuvering (dropping out of gear and down the hill you go).

@pilskadden 4 года назад

Interestingly the original wet clutch DSG was supplied by BorgWarner - a US based company - to VW. But I guess since VW put them in their cars they are responsible for the failures.

Hi Dan, as usual your videos are educational especially for people like me who drive the car and don't know exactly what happens under the bonnet. It could seems easy to repair the car but nowdays the tecnology changed everything. Thanks and greetings from Italy

Excellent video. Clear speech, logically laid out, every step visible. Uncut shot of battery diagnosis was really cool. I'll return to your tidy workshop soon 👍

My god what a clear explanation and video , it is the best tutorial I have seen on you tube .It was so good although I came onto it in error and have niether the same car or fault I sat and watched in amazment well done your the man .
