Starter Enable from selector level sensor system 10763

Having a few issues with my GTD Dsg 66 plate anyone else had this error Starter Enable from selector level sensor system 10763

That's not over cranking at start? Fails to fire and when it does you get "auto start stop error"?

[Moranatang]

Yes every now and then it's cranks over and over and struggles to fire when it does chuck a load of whites moke out.
Don't think I have had an error it's always managed to fire.

My GTD never went anywhere close to not starting first time. I'd get your dealer to check it out. Might be a dodgy component somewhere.

It's in today with them only 5 months old got about 3700 miles on it always ran on shell/bp fuels.
Given the print out as I know there's faults so they can fob me off.

If this code showed up when you scanned with VCDS/OBD11 it probably is the fact you scanned with the engine running and it's a false alarm. It's been documented that it shows up if you do a live scan. If you clear it, turn off and re-scan it should not pop-up (unless you have a real issue). I was panicking the first week when I did a scan on my brand new CS "just to check" and this showed up together with a bunch of others DSG "faults" only because I did a live scan and not one with the engine off. Hope it's the same for you.

This was scanned when the engine was off

The over cranking thing is quite common - I suspect its this.

I believe there is a fix, but I've not had it done on mine despite it being in the shop only the other day.

My GTD has done this from almost day 1 and after 3 years, it still does it a couple of times a week.

Not really a problem, other than being a bit embarrassing in the factory car park!

[Moranatang]

My dealer is saying no fix for the cranking over apparently there is a software update other people have said I'll find which dealer they have sent to and get it sorted !
I don't think they can be arsed to sort it

[fredgroves]

A lot of the fixes for things don't seem to get applied by every dealer. Unless its either a recall notice fault or one where the owner is experiencing a directly resulting problem, they don't bother.

Seems a bit weird coming from where I am at work!

I suppose VW won't pay them to do non-problem causing updates... but when its software you'd think they'd just flash everything in a system wide update.
