By carrying out DSG Mechatronic testing instead of replacing the whole unit we can save you money as well as not just getting rid of parts unnecessarily. DSG Gearbox repair work has become more and more common on Volkswagen, Audi, SEAT and Skoda vehicles.
If you go to the dealership for a DSG repair or S Tronic repair, you will only be offered a replacement option at thousands of pounds. We repair and pass on the savings of on average 40%.
The internal housing is common for cracking. Luckily we can carry out a repair procedure on this and not have to replace the whole mechatronic unit.
You’ll notice there is a fault if any of these things occur.
It comes up on the display saying ‘Gearbox fault visit workshop’
The ‘PRNDS’ lights are flashing.
Loss of drive
Missed gears on selection
No reverse gear
Clutch failure (struggling to engage gears or loss of drive)
If any of these things are happening with your VAG vehicle, get in touch with us via email or call the reception on 01642 613852. We can diagnose the fault, give you a price on the repair and save you £££ in doing so!
See our Youtube videos attached which show the mechatronic testing.
This video below is before the repair was carried out. As you can see on the machine, the unit has no pressure and is not reaching the requirement.
Once repaired, the machine is clearly showing the pressure has been reached and test is carried out.

Gen 4 haldex servicing tiguan, golfs, A3 is sometimes overlooked. Both VW and Audi recommend the oil is changed at 38,000 miles. BUT there is something they miss on the dealer servicing.
In most cases, when oil is replaced as a serviceable item, a filter is accompanied with it. VW Audi group decided to use the Generation 4 Haldex coupling drive on various of there models. They did not make the filter a purchasable item. Following manufacturers service guidelines, your filter does not get changed resulting in potential damage to the unit from oil starvation.
So what do we offer you may ask? We purchase quantities of filters direct from the manufacture of the haldex unit making our service a complete not just oil change. This aids the life of the Haldex unit.
Gen 4 Haldex servicing tiguan Golf R S3 A3 filter can be seen above. Left filter has covered over 50,000 miles. The customer described the rear of the vehicle to be un-sturdy whiles driving round corners and roundabouts. We carried out a diagnostic test to find pump problems with the Haldex. Everything was resolved with the correct service procedure and the vehicle repaired without the need to replace unnecessary parts.
Haldex generation 5 service on Golf R, S3 , RS3 should be carried out at 38,000 miles. Our servicing differs from the dealer. How? you may ask. Well, when the oil is changed at the dealership this is only half the job. Here at North East Auto Tech we remove the pump. By doing so we can clean the pump strainer, helping clear through any sludge build up which is the main cause for failure.
Fault codes such as the below are common failure codes.
Modern day engine design is seeing the use of timing chain in 70% of engines. But with failures happening on a regular basis have they got the designs right?
We are replacing timing chains on engines from as low as 40,000 miles. Why you may ask?
In the pursuit of a light weight, low drag, eco friendly engines some cutbacks have to be made. The design of modern engines is not so over engineered as engines were 15 years ago.
The most common early signs of chain failure are:
Rattle on engine from cold start
Engine management light on with fault codes such as P0016 P0008 P1340 P0011 16400 17748
Lumpy and uneven idle
loss in power
V6 TDI chain replacement
We only use genuine timing chains when replacing the worn / stretched parts. Using the manufactures tooling we can accurately set the engine timing prior to removal and replacement of components.
If a chain is left un replaced when it is showing signs of pre failure the results can be extensive if failure occurs. This normally results in extensive repair costs, or in some cases replacement of engine is more cost efficient.
Keeping your vehicles service history up to date can help prolong the life of the chain.
