MK5 gti pirelli edition dsg issues...
Hi all as some of you may be aware ive recently acquired a mk5 pirelli edition, full log books and over 50k in receipts for service work since new.
ive come to a little bit of a problem, that is after driving the vehicle when i go to park and put the car in reverse it wont actually go into gear. There are some noises that occur then i get prnds flashing on the dashboard. Now this can be worked around basically once ive selected reverse if i select drive again wait for it to engage and then select reverse it will work. Or the other option is put it into park turn the car off and on again and all is well.
I have gone to Ramspeed automotive in seven hills nsw as i work in bella vista so its reasonably close, they have told me that it sounds like the clutch pack in it that needs to be replaced.
BUT today my car was booked in at vw castle hill to have a recall done on it, ABS unit?? Which they have confirmed my car is effected and they will need to order the part in, so that means it will be there for another day which is a pain in the ass as they dont have loan cars available for weeks if not months in advance.
VW Castle hill have told me that they "think" its the mechatronic unit that has failed, BUT what really grinds my gears is they arent 100% sure and they would need to open the gearbox up to tell me exactly what is not working correctly. They also told me "it could" also be the entire gearbox that needs to be replaced.. Absolutely ZERO mention of the clutch.
Im sure some of you have had the same issue. ive contacted VWA in regards to trying to get this replaced out of goodwill and the fact they cannot guarantee me after spending 4500$ on a mechatronics that it will be working as it should. So what im thinking is Should I get ramspeed to change the clutch packs at a cost of around 2k drive in drive out or should I chase vw up for something to be covered under warranty, bearing in mind that in china and a few other countries overseas they offer a 10 year warranty but here in Aus we get the short straw..
Ive put the car on a scan tool that i had access to and the code i was given is as follows
P2711 $07E9
Unexpected Mechanical Gear Disengagement
Many thanks in advance.
