“My VW Golf was slipping gears badly, and they fixed it within 3 days! Great price and smooth service.”
One of our recent clients, Ali M., brought in his 2017 VW Golf GTI with severe DSG shifting issues. His car was stuck in limp mode, struggling to shift between gears, and nearly undrivable.
Instead of immediately suggesting a full transmission replacement, we took a smarter approach:
🔍 Step 1: Comprehensive Diagnostics – Using VW-specific scan tools, we identified the real problem: a failing mechatronic unit, not the entire gearbox.
🔧 Step 2: Mechatronic Unit Replacement – Instead of swapping the entire transmission, we replaced only the mechatronic system, saving the client AED 10,000.
💻 Step 3: DSG Adaptation & Software Update – We performed a DSG clutch adaptation and updated the software, ensuring seamless shifting and eliminating rough gear changes.
🚗 The Result: Ali drove away with a perfectly functioning DSG transmission—at a fraction of what other garages quoted him!
The lesson? Not all transmission issues require a full replacement. Our expertise saves you thousands.
