Very good description! No one tells the fix the way you have done... beautifully!

[@marcosflores7095]

Hi, thanks for the video, as I know, there is a special tool you need to use for the mechatronic.

[@jasmineke484]

So informative

[@kagendomary6015]

Well explained

[@smilepleaseai]

the VW golf 7DSG - hydraulic accumulator house has been broken so will it be safe to add a repair kit instead of replacing the accumulator house? or will it be a problem if we add a repair kit?

[@geeelutch1557]

Great video. Will be easier to work on this after watching your video. Where can we get that Kinergo Repair Kit? I'm out I South Africa

[@aswanation]

You can get one online. Amazon, eBay or on their website

Hello.. kindly share the eBay or amazon link for the said parts. I have a VW Polo V, it won’t start, so I by pass the ignition and switched it on. The car won’t go in reverse, by when I put it in drive it will move. It only engages gears 1 and 3. It even struggles to engage the third gear. Any advise or recommendations? And yes it’s flashes the the PRND

[@Mithun9119]

Brother, if we replace the original one with the Kinergo one, what do you think how long it will last? Will the Kinergo one also crack?

[@Jenito120]

I have kinergo for almost 2 and half years and i have no problem at all

Hi. Kindly advise where I can get used VW parts at reasonable rates. I have a 2012 Polo.

[@aswanation]

Reach out. There are a few leads I have

[@gmotors5917]

Hi Brother, is it possible to just replace the broken valve body instead of the reinforced accumulator

[@aswanation]

Yes it is

[@Chris-xc3xz]

Will the accumulator be full of pressure still or can you just unscrew it

[@aswanation]

No it won’t. Just unscrew it

[@shadrachkobimbo]

What would be the cost implication of the repairs you’ve explained in the video…?

[@aswanation]

About 30k for the accumulator and in the excess of 50k for mechatronic unit

[@shadrachkobimbo]

@@aswanation If i may ask, would you recommend the 1.4 twin charged engine on an mk6 golf as a daily driver....?

[@mthontando9334]

Hi brother i need help my 7 speed dsg has a problem during first run of the day it shifts fine from D1,D2,D3,D4,D5,D6 and D7 its flushes the spanner but once i stop n switch car off it goes away and drives fine the rest of the day fault that came up was P173C

[@aswanation]

Mechatronic unit needs attention. You can start with a full transmission service including new mechatronic oil.

[@timothygichuhi2618]

@@aswanation Hi there.. How can I get your contacts... Kindly

[@beautifulroses6606]

Where are you located sir?

[@kervinorosco9887]

I purchased that same kit and the problem returned just without the lost of the hydraulic oil. But when I leave the car to warm up for some time switch off the ignition and start back the symptoms temporarily goes away

[@Mithun9119]

Same thing for me. I had replaced the accumulator a year ago with Kinergo and now the problem comes back again. It was showing gearbox error when I start the engine. And when I turn off and start again it goes off.

[@Mithun9119]

Now did you solve the problem? If yes please say how.

[@thekoleroy_at_varsity4103]

Do i need the special tool to unscrew it

[@aswanation]

Not really, just normal tools you can find from your nearest parts shop
