Our Process
How we diagnose DSG faults
- 01
Full scan
We run a comprehensive VCDS and OBD scan covering all gearbox modules, fault codes, and live data before touching anything.
- 02
Live data review
Clutch wear values, oil temperature, adaptation values, and mechatronic sensor data are reviewed in detail to pinpoint the fault.
- 03
Honest recommendation
We confirm the root cause — mechatronic, clutch pack, internal fault, or software — before any parts are quoted or ordered.
- 04
Repair & adaptation
After repair, the unit is adapted using OEM-level software. Optional TCU tune available to complete the build.
