Golf MK8 GTD gear error select code V682

[swinny599]

Hi I’m having a massive issue with my Golf GTD. There’s an error select light appeared on the dash and I’ve been to the garage and they’ve said it is a V682 gear selector issue. The car drives perfectly still ans there’s no obvious driving issues. The problem is it’s a lease and I’m trying to give the car back and they won’t accept it back with the light on. Currently, there are no parts in the country or in Germany and they’ve no idea when any will be manufactured. Does anyone have a solutions to this? I was thinking a breakers yard? VW won’t even give me the part number! All I’ve got is the attached picture with the required part highlighted in gold.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is the car still in warranty?

Unfortunately not…it’s a 2021 plate and just out of warranty

So for the GTI/GTI CS/GTD and R the gear shift mechanism has been discontinued 5 times:
01/06/2019 to 22/09/2019: 5WA713033AB (discontinued)
23/09/2019 to 18/10/2020: 5WA713033AG (discontinued)
19/10/2020 to 27/06/2021: 5WA713033AN (discontinued)
28/06/2021 to 21/08/2022: 5WA713033BB (discontinued)
22/08/2022 to 14/05/2023: 5WA713033BS (discontinued)
15/05/2023 to 2024: 5WA713033CD

So the latest part number is 5WA713033CD.

Also according to the TPI 2073204/3 the gear selector (5H0713059R) would also need to be replaced if the software number is 0013. The replacement has the newer software revision 0014.

Someone did suggest once the work around was to work the actuator (gear lever a lot) as the switch corrodes or something. Not sure how true that is.
