DSG 02E Common Problems DQ250

Some of the most common symptoms of a Mechatronic Failure are :

• Flashing PRNDS in the Dash and the gearbox will switch to neutral.
• Hard engaging of the 1st gear (slams into the first gear) from a stand still point.  This can sometimes also be caused by a decallibration of the clutches so you might be able to "save the day"  by performing a recalibration with a VCDS cable. Procedure can be found on Ross Tech website. *
• Hard downshifting from 3 to 2 and 2 to 1st gear followed by some loud "clunk" noises. *
• Shaking / juddering feeling while in 2nd gear and the car pulls up. *
• Jerking between gears *
  * This problems can be caused by worn valves. Changing the affected valve might solve your problem.
• Loss of power between 1300-2000 RPM. Car feels like dead

If you have any other experiences please let me know, I will add them.

For whoever needs I can supply electronic parts for the DQ250 DSG Mechatronic / Mechatronik units.
