Being a mechanic for 44 years this video has helped me understand the mystery of the hidden secrets of the DSG transmission more that I ever knew. Thank you great techs. Mr asmetofixit. Thank you

Just repaired a dsg 7. The car was not moving, was towed to the shop, initial diagnostic was too low working pressure about 15 bar, needed 40+, i disassembled mechatronics just like the video and found a crack along one of the threads of the accumulator. The half where the accumulator threads into was found separately with improved design(thicker material on the thread) but went with a new mechatronic witch also had oil in it. Put on the new unit set basic settings with vag-com and VAS, but when put in D slams into gear with engine dying. The new unit would not learn part-worn cluth just with BS, had to carefully start the car and went for a drive about 60km, meantime dsg shifting have much improved, no problem when selecting D after that.

[@vladhorobet1018]

What was giving the low pressure? Pump, solenoids?

[@davidut55]

Pressure escaped from a hairline crack in the housing.

i can imagine the sophisticated violin quartet playing on their tuxedos at the corner of the repair shop. this is an elegant, gentleman way to work on an oily transmission.

Thank you very much for this video. You made me understand more things about mecatronic. You are the fist one I have ever seen dismantling mecatronic. The word of mecatronic makes me even afraid. Thanks again.

[@abrahimyehia9546]

Good videoWhen checking the solenoids theres two types you have in the VW 7Speed DSG Gearbox. First you got the shift solenoid that has two positions. OPEN OR CLOSED. it can be energised and de-energised. Thats due to if the solenoid does fail at any stage it will move to its de-energised state and no pressure will be added. Second we have the Variable Force Solenoid can be known as a (liner solenoid) which the name its self speaks alot. It can operate the valve through a range of position not only just OPEN OR CLOSED. That is why the use it for fluid pressure control due to being variable which in turns allowts pressure control to be instantly responsive. When checking them the shift solenoid is usually grounded to the Valve Body and one pin for Live feed. They can operate in two ways. Like a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) or constant voltage applied to it. So when checking them make sure you have a Good ground and 12v or 5v (IF A PWM SOLENOID )

Dear RPM, thank you for a great video. I read some of the negative comments by people telling you how you should work. Considering you were one of the first to dismantle a mechatronic you did very well indeed. Not everyone spends thousands on tools and then rip's off customers to get their money back. You were kind enough to share you expertise and findings. However i need a bit of help here in Covid-UK. I have a mechatronic (0AM 325 065 S) on a 7 speed MK7 Golf tsi (2013). Only when the gearbox is used (gets hot) for 5 mins or more, then i get U0101 - Lost communication with TCM. Once it cools down, everything works again. I am very confident that TCM is the reason but this time when removing the mechatronic it almost comes off but gets stuck. I think one piston is getting stuck. Is there a way i can move it by applying power. Any help would be most appreciated.

[@tkarfi]

Low pressure in the mechatronic is given by the pump or by the solenoids? great video, best one on youtube for disassembly, but the music is kinda annoying.

Do you suggest that gearbox oil should be changer every 60k miles?

Hi i would like to know how to re assemble the dsg box... Most important is the finish i.e the front cover joint?

[@bobbondarul7448]

Hello. Nice video. Where do you buy solenoid for replacing ?

[@gerhardpetersen]

Good video of undoing screws. Power screwdriver is a useful tool, you should invest in one. Makes this job MUCH faster. For those who think the DSG mechatronics is too complex, you should look at some videos for advanced "traditional" automatic boxes - they are all as bad. But nowhere near as shocking as the Ford Dual Clutch effort - the worst piece of engineering of late. Especially since there were plenty of designs Ford could have embraced.

[@afifirashed]

Good Job and is very helpful. Please I need to know how to test other parts like electric motor and transmission control unit.

[@tanzaniacarschannel6975]

For electric motor, use your voltmeter and connect its probe to motor terminals(remember it is a small three phase motor) and run that motor as generator, the motor should produce electricity..... If both phases produce electricity means the motor is fine.

Miguel de la Maza VW originalmente usó el aceite sintético pero hubo muchos "recall" en todo el mundo, así que cambió a aceite mineral SAE 75 W 90 para la mecatrónica y lubricación de los engranes, sincronizadores, etc.. que es un aceite algo común para transmisiones manuales. Saludos amigo!

good video, can you tell me if it would be possible to make accumulator repair without removing the whole megatronic unit? could I just remove the black cover and replace while fixed to the car?

[@alltheusernameswastaken8936]

yes you can. Also take note that it is normally the housing which cracks and not the accumulator which fails. Kinergo has a kit where you replace the accumulator with an aftermarket one which include a part to remedy the cracked housing and prevent it from happening, should you install this preemptively.

[@RPMautoelectronics]

+Juan Perez Neira el problema que tienes es una de las válvulas(solenoide) que se encarga de las impares y reversa. Esta transmisión tiene el defecto que con aceite sintético se traban los solenoides y VW hizo un recall en todo el mundo paracambiar eseaceite por aceite mineral ANTES de que se dañaran los solenoides. Ahora tienes que buscar cuál solenoide esta atascado y limpiarlo muy bien o reemplazarlo.Así te funcionará como nueva.!

[@hemidesign]

Hello All, The DSG Mechatronics fault unit is the only issue If you at a stop, let me explain better, with my foot on the brake, then I let the brake go and take off at idle speed (no acceleration with the gas pedal) I get what feels like a kick coming from the DSG transmission. It feels kind of like what happens when your car slips out of 2nd gear into 1st. FYI here are some of the relevant facts. I cannot reproduce it all the time. It happens when the engine/tranny is warm. It has happened during times when I'm driving “spirited” and when I’m driving in a sane fashion. It happens whenever the car is in “D” mode or in Reverse. It only happens when I don’t accelerate, only take off in idle. It usually happens when I have been driving, then I come to a complete stop, then it will do the kick if I take my foot off the brake and don’t immediately hit the gas. It kind of rolls forward, “kicks” (drops a gear?) and then continues to roll forward in what feels like a lower gear. looks like this is a recall issue from VW and it covers up to 100.000 miles/10 year warranty.. regular price for repair on a dealer is around $3.000($1600 part and $1400 labor). I hope that helps!

[@RPMautoelectronics]

yes you need to change the oil and clean the solenoids
