Hi - I have been to my mechanic who has recorded a fault on my 2013 polo GTI. It reads: hydraulic pump - play protection. Is this likely to be a fault in the main transmission or the mechatronics unit??
Mechanic says transmission, VW parts say its probably mechatronics. Has anyone else had this issue and know for sure?
It drives fine at the moment, but is it likely to develop other problems except for a flashing gear icon on the gear selector on the dash?
I have to take it to VW for diagnostics before they'll give me a straight answer. At $195 per hour of course. After which they'll just tell me it was the same fault code my mechanic recorded I'm sure of it. They did tell me there was no outstanding recalls on the car, so I'll probably have to pay for it. There's a fair bit of difference in price depending on which part is causing the issue, $7300 for a transmission vs $2300 for a mechatronics unit. Can anyone offer any advice? thanks!
