    Hi,

    I have a 2.0 litre diesel2018 plate with a DSG gear box. I had the mechatronic box replaced inNov-23 and last year I started to notice it was occasionally"slipping" between 2nd and 3rd gears i.e. revving well over 2000 (itwould normally changed 2nd to 3rd at about 2000 revs). Some times it wouldchange automatically after the high revs, some times I would slow down and itwould then change. I had never paid attention to the rev's before I hadthe fault that resulted in the new mechatronic (that was a complete failurewith no warning, leaving me with just 2,4 and 6th gears). The"slipping" was very infrequent.


    I mentioned this to the independent VW/Audi specialist garage Ihave always used and they road tested it and typically there was no slippageand there was nothing on the car log when they checked that. They told meto monitor it.

    It seems to have got worse and has happened around half a dozentimes in Jan. Yesterday it actually shot up to around 4000 revs whengoing from 2nd to 3rd and then again to 2500 all in the space of a 10 minutedrive. It's going in for a general service to the same garage and I willbe raising it with them again. The new mechatronic cost me £3,000 all inand I'm pretty sure it never did this before that was fitted (they gave me a 2year parts & labour warranty).

    I would appreciate any insight into what could be causing this -I know very little about cars!

    Also, not sure if it is over revving when idling - it sits atabout 1000 revs, is that too high?

    Last question - just in case, does anybody know DSGspecialist in the Reading, Berkshire area? I have looked on Google butcannot find anybody. I don't really want to take it to VW but would liketo get a second opinion.

    Any responses would be much appreciated - thanks!
