Good to hear it wasn't another 'Sling it in the bin' assessment.

Having suffered a DSG gearbox and DMF failure I did wonder how upfront the assessment on the damage was but I avoided a larger bill through a good will contribution.

Thanks Hurdy,

Of course I'm paranoid...have you seen the cost of replacement...seemingly it's about £2k...!!!

No, I don't have access to VCDS...but my local dealer will be able to reset things...if they know what they are doing.  Will pop into them in the morning.

Correct...I don't have any clunking or jerkiness or kangarooing.

Hopefully it's something fairly easy to fix.

Thanks again,
Billy

Can you reset the Dsg gearbox ? I have had the box serviced and seems smoother now but it sometimes jerks when pulling away and in reverse too

Yes you can reset the box via VCDS or dealer tool
