DSG knocked out of gear...?

[kingbilly]

Had a local indie garage run a DSG gearbox diagnostic today...and came up with the error code -

28775 - "No communication with gear selector module U0103 - intermittent"

Car now going into stealers on Thursday...hopefully the same fault will register and simple fix available...car still got 16 days warranty left.

Anyone else ever had this code come up...?  How was it fixed...?  How serious do you think it is...?

Thank you,
Billy

There was a recall for 08 DSG cars due to similar problems (cars jumping out of gear) - VW changed the gearbox temp sensor.

Before you go overboard - are you SURE that the box came out of gear on it's own and that you didn't inadvertantly catch the gearstick?

Hurdy,

Absolutely sure the box came out of gear on it's own...otherwise I would have to have caught the gearstick and moved it from M to D then to N...I would have noticed this.

After the loss of drive I stopped the car completely and moved the gearstick from M to D and back again...and got drive...therefore it was in M all the time during my loss of drive.

I am trying to remain calm and not go too overboard...but think of the consequences if this happened whilst joining a free-flowing road of traffic travelling at 40/50 mph.

The stick is just an electrical switch.  Has anyone spilt coffee or pop onto the gear lever?  This might lead to a temporary loss of communication between stick and computer after jarring the car by hitting a curb.

Got car back from stealers now...new gear selector unit fitted.

Thanks all for comments/advice.
