Prnds flashing?

[Shawrigg]

My gear indicator light is flashing (dsg 6 speed 2005 2.0) only bought car today drove 50miles home fine upto 90mph (gave it a good drive) anyhow thought I'd google what the flashing meant.

Seems it could be the gearbox ecu,is there anything else to check?

Car does seem to have a slight rumble when ticking over,reverse is a bit jerky but other than that seems to drive fine.its done a genuine 79k miles with service history till 55k,is it worth changing the dsg oil?

Didn't you find these things on the test drive !!!

If trade then take it back.

Needs a fault code scan done. DSG fluid should be done every 40k.

Never flashed up when I tested it,having had trouble with head gasket failure on other vehicles I didn't pay as much heed as needed on the gearbox,hindsight is a wonderful thing!

Check some of the other threads, sorry to be voice of doom but had this with my 2004 A4, needed ecu replacement (£1000). Gearbox rebuild 20k later but may be unrelated. If you can return or discuss, I would....

Well the prnds never flashed up again after I posted on here

I did however replace the dmf and have it fully serviced and it's been fine till this week when the emissions light has come on.
