I’m a Bristol lad, found these guys as Audi repair would have broke the bank. Milta had my motor nearly 2 weeks but never gave up till they fixed it. Diagnosis was spot on £2.4k for both clutches mechatronic rebuild and multiply issues with the solenoids and software but the bill stayed as original quote . Also worth mentioning free diagnostic if you can get your motor to them

@Dunkelzeitgeist 2 года назад

Great to see this one back! I’m gonna be trying to replicate this build slowly, pick mine up Saturday, I’ll be booking in with yourselves November time I reckon (I’ve only been saying I’ll come up for 6months now) hopefully I have no issues but it had some 101k 🤷🏻‍♂️

Complex work, just what I like when I have everything I need to do it 😅 I don't know if some company from China could manufacture a flex/ribbon cable just like that with the right spec, maybe worth taking a punt. Tough work to solder it still, microscope and soldering gun...

Delighted to see the wolf back shifting gears the way it should again. Would you recommend a manual gearbox in one of these for fast road /track use are they strong enough?

Bought a 2013 Audi A5 (3.0 TDI / S-Tronic) with just 69,000 miles in March 2021. Car had two gearbox services with OEM oil at that point and drove fine. 2 months later it ranked as the most depressing ordeal of my life. I live in Ireland and had Audi themselves do the repair kit (didn't work for me), had the clutches/flywheel replaced and even had the solenoids individually replaced (all of them!) Almost 5,000 Euros later, it's still shifting poorly and jolts on coming to a stop. Selling the car this week at a major loss and one of the most upsetting periods of my life with a car. Borg Warner completely and utterly fucked this gearbox design up. No two ways about it. Have my eye on a nice manual Toyota next!

@DarksideDevelopments 2 года назад

Bad times! Speed sensor?

@Pulstate 2 года назад

@@DarksideDevelopments The sensor (G676 off the top of my head, probably wrong) will throw up a TCU code at the very least or a gearbox malfunction error. Mine's never ever had a TCU/ECU fault logged. I've run VCDS on it myself numerous times, never a fault. Yet, it's driving like a bag of nails so it would seem something is off with the solenoids but they're new, properly adapted (as per Audi's procedure) and still terrible. I'm afraid my car is one of those nightmare ones where even Milta would struggle to keep it cheap to fix! (cheap being relative of course)

@DarksideDevelopments 2 года назад

Maybe call them? We had one with a speed sensor issue, no faults. Swapped it and all good.

@nonegiven9579 Год назад

What a fucking ball ache mate , I was considering buying one of these A5's with the Stronic box but after doing a lot of reading I've decided will either go with the old torque converter ZF box coupe / ZF BiTDI or try and hunt out a manual sportback

Do you guys repair the Mechatronics units on the Skoda Fabia VRS's? I have one thats failing.

Take it to Milta, Bristol, very good, run by a Polish guy. The waiting room is a sight to behold.

@MrWhatTheFuckful 2 года назад

Hey guys! What's your opinion on the GTD1752VRK? Doesnt a ball bearing turbo need water cooling becouse the lack of oil? I want to do like an oem+ type of build, but fearing the lack of water cooling destroying the turbo

We sell them, good turbo for 1.6 engine

@horstvonpferd193 2 года назад

Hey guys, unerlated to this particular video I have a question: I am looking to buy a Skoda with a 1.9L engine dirt cheap to thrash it arround and slightly modify it. Are the ones with the Bosch Direct Injection as reliable and tunable as the PD ones? Can anyone give me a pointer to a diesel tuning related discord, forum or reddit where I can educate myself further on the subject?

@einfelder8262 2 года назад

Every modern automatic from every vehicle brand has a complex valve body (VAG just calls it a mechatronics). Don't know (or care) if a CVT has one.

@Pulstate 2 года назад

ZF's gearboxes are the way to go. Audi dumped the S-Tronic in the newer models because it's a heap of shit.

turns out that if a jobs worth doing, its a job worth paying someone else to do it for you.

@nickpritchard7130 Год назад

The original mechatronics were damaged when trying to force it back in when the gear selectors were not aligned correctly. DOH ! i hope you did not ad this Extra Expense to the customers bill ! The reason the firstly repaired mechatronics would not work on the vehicle is because it was not programmed to the vehicle using it's Vin Number. DOH !

This was our car and you are incorrect on both counts :)
