What this usually means
75% mechatronic seal + DSG service ($450-650). Agent quotes $1,800+ for valve body. ODIS scan first — DSG faults are usually seal/fluid not mechanical.
What to ask the workshop before approving repair
- • Show the diagnostic fault codes.
- • Show photo/video proof of the failed part.
- • Give an itemised quote for parts and labour.
- • Explain why cheaper common fixes were ruled out.
This is not a final diagnosis. It is a money-saving checklist before you go workshop.
