MK5 GTI with DSG

[Saint Steve]

mechatronic control module has been replaced under warranty....

Do I take it that these are prone to failure then? or is it a regular serviceable unit?

Thanks for the replies!!

Prone to failure    and they are the thick end of £1000..........

Later units seem to be more reliable 

Have to correct you Rhys, its normally from 57 onwards that more are prone to earlier failure. Cars from 07 down are less likely.

Must be early Audi's that seem to suffer then    I've scanned 3-4 04 / 54 plates with failed mechatronics units 

Glad I didn't go DSG this time around if it is the later units failing!
