No need to pump the gear box oil through the drain bung guys. There's a black cover at the top of the gear box, at the back. Take our the 4 torque bolts and funnel 1.7L of oil through there.
Also, undernear the ecu for the mechatronic unit (black ecu held in by 7 25mm torque bolts) there should be a small circular seal in the centre of the unit. If that isnt there then your unit won't hold pressure and you'll never pass the adaptions.
Check the bearings in the gearbox while that unit is out also. You'll see 4 of them. Top left and right and then bottom left and right. Make sure they move all the way left, to the centre and all the way right. When the unit goes back in make sure they're all in the neutral position (centre).
Just some advice from someone who's been through hell and back for a few years lol
There is nothing that phases Chris at all , so keen to get stuck in . Can just imagine Chris as a kid , Meccano set still in the box …. Parents come downstairs in morning and Chris has upgraded the washing machine to a washer dryer overnight 🤣🤣
Forget Netflix..... this is So so much better 🙌
They will be approaching them soon to do a show
My sentiments exactly!
This, Heard/Depp, Twitter/Musk
Totally agree 👍
Netflix couldn’t afford these guys
Chris said he'd never done one before but stripped it with ease, hes not just a master mechanic hes a proper engineer, & using the cardboard to map out where the bolts go 💡
In the last 15 years or so, VW/Audi have become masters at disguising shoddy, substandard engineering behind expensive looking interiors and nice wheels. Most of their stuff is the epitome of style over substance and has been for years.
Always a joy to see Chris work close up old school methodology lay, it out as you dismantle the unit when reassemble just work backwards love the clean and tidy work bench no muck and to get in when putting back together. Robs commentary clear and honest with the viewers especially when it doesn't go to plan helps us look out for the pitfalls. Top content 👌
I wish my bench was more tidy, saying that they have more space.
Thinking of just leaving anything broken in the house near Chris . Probably come back and it's fixed.
I like Chris' trick with the cardboard to know which bolt came from which hole. Maybe a lot of people already know that but I didn't and I'll borrow that for the future.
Just love watching Chris doing his thing, not afraid to have a go
Please can you think about getting Chris miked up. He's got such a lot of knowledge to pass on but sometimes I struggle to hear him. Great video guys. It looks like the gamble is going to pay off, although we've not heard the money bit yet but I bet it's nowhere near £4000
Dean at saving salvage has experience with mechatronics replacements. Could be a good source of knowledge with the ins & outs of these transmissions. Fantastic content guys.
That unit did not look for the faint hearted did it - Chris is so good at analysing those sort of things on the hoof and figuring them out
Always makes me grin when Rob describes Chris’ work as “messing around” no matter how complex and involved it is.
Top work fellas.
You guys have the biggest balls. Taking on something you have never tackled before, and first time dismantling a dead unit. Can’t wait for the numbers. And part 2. 😎😎😎
Brilliant video. I actually have a dsg Golf R and the one thing that absolutely terrifies me is gearbox problems and yet there Chris is, having never done one before, just getting stuck in 👏
What an excellent video guys - absolutely fantastic. My old dad (RIP) use to say to me “it’s only nuts and bolts, son, somebody put it together so we must be able to get it apart and repair it” ……..Chris is a true legend, we all need a Chris in our lives!! Brilliant vid can’t wait for the next instalment.
This channel is the closest thing to the good old days of wheeler dealers, before Ed left.
Massive respect Chris, never done anything like it before and gets stuck right in, I need to get a set of jump leads from Chris to me and try and tap into his knowledge 😇
First comment and and been following you guys for a while……. It’s pretty simple fix,The accumulator has gone in the mech, it’s more than likely fractured the mechatronic housing/body. Just beware of hairline cracks in the mechatronic body even if you can’t see them as it’s very common.
Any DSG “specialist” will charge £1300 quid easily and probably attempt to do you over for a new clutch as well as I’ve seen it so many times over the years and when in reality this can be fixed for less than £150 quid with the mechatronic still on the car.
Bare in mind the DQ200 box takes two separate oils:
1 litre of hydraulic oil - G 004 000
1.7 litre of gearbox oil - G 052 171
Whilst you have the mechatronic out you would be as well having a quick look over the solenoids as that’s the only other real issue with these.
Great video love how he just jumps straight into something he’s never touched before. What a guy.
Is there nothing that Chris will not have ago at,must be a pleasure to have him round 👍👍👍
Rob ," Chris is gonna have a look at this in the evenings" Chris ' yeah I'm gonna have a look tonite " ,total dedication from the " brain" nice job fellas and are those McDonald's cups on the work bench full of the change Chris gets outta the vehicles ! 😂,Great vid as usual fellas 👍
Are you sure Chris doesn’t moonlight as a neurosurgeon? That strip down was clinical. Absolutely outstanding! Kudos for the cardboard bolt template, they work every single time. Then you put the bloody thing back together without a Haynes book of lines. THEN the modest bugger says “no major dramas”. When the s**t hits the fan, he’s your man 😁Superb as usual.
Another great video, greatly appreciate the knowledge you share and the time you spend doing so. 🙏👌🏻
Great video Rob and Chis, a learning curve for you and me, thanks
Another great video guys!! Content really good as usual and Chris the magician works wonders again. Lovely car to work on too.
Love that you guys don’t shy away from any challenge. Looks to be a very straight car, will have my eye on this one when it’s up for sale.
I watch every video but loosing track of all the projects and where they are at. Might need another update video soon.
Great informative vid guys love seeing the tech side and those dsg gearbox are the worst
Great video as usual guys! I love these problem solving episodes where you guys just jump in with both feet and roll with whatever crops up. It’s great that you have so many great suppliers there that can get you the parts you need. Our choices over on this side of the pond are much more limited. Look forward to seeing how this one turns out! Cheers 🍻.
I've been waiting to see you do one of these. I have had dsg boxes for the last 7 years and love them. Hopefully this fix sorts you out. Loving the channel as always.
Just brilliant! Well done again. The only channel on the tube where I watch all the adverts.. Keep up the great videos. I'm sure your gonna get a Wheeler Dearlers type deal!!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Superb informative video again, just love the way you 2 just get stuck in and repair stuff. I built myself a massive solid timber workbench and it's full already, how do you keep your's tidy!!!
A man with a plan :-), organizing the screws so Chris knows where they go, just great to see. Always great to see how you guys work!!
Brilliant work and thanks for sharing this with us take care
Brilliant, as usual. I've really enjoyed the recent longer and more in depth videos, especially as quality hasn't been sacrificed for quantity, and as a person with limited mechanical knowledge have learned shedloads, especially about gearboxes and how they work! 🙂😁😉👍 Cheers
Great video again guys 110% better with both of you on together, I no you can't both be on video all the time because you both need to get stuff done.... But from a subscriber point of view these last few videos 📹 are the ones keep up the good work men 👏 👍🏻 👌🏻
I actually drove from Essex to Leicester and back this morning,,,and the only thing that keeps me sane is the fact that when I get home I can sit and watch these two ,,,absolutely love them ❤
Rob, Chris. Your channel is just awesome. So enjoying everything you put out.👍👍😁
Watching the time lapse it looked so complicated and totally blows my mind amazing to watch your a clever man Chris
Superb content yet again Rob & Chris, picked spot on, don’t know how you do what you do, but long may it last! Thank you.
Hello Rob and Chris, another very interesting video. Top team work again.
Thank you for taking the time to upload another video. Ged
I had a Mk5 Golf R32 that had issues with the Mechatronic unit. I took it to a VW dealer and because it was a known issue and the dealer principal loved the R32 I had it done for about £700 and VW covered the rest. Brilliant channel, Thanks for all your hard work. 👍🏼
Your channel is a mine of useful information and contacts cheers guys see you Friday 👍🏻🏴
Great to see Chris in his element and using his skills and knowledge to solve new problems, quite an education in itself. Great piece this evening, thanks.
Hi Rob and Chris what a interesting video thank you take care both 😊👍
Very interesting video guys. The part from that Audi you are rebuilding is an interesting piece and I'm sure it will work very well when its all back together. Thank you for the entertainment, much appreciated.
And another great project, you guys really keep me amazed, good insights again there!
Chris is so methodical when he is working. Really interesting Vlog Guys. Keep well and safe.
At the end of your videos you say see you on the next one ... i all ways get ready to watch the next video to see how you get on with the vehicle and how it turns out. Youve got so many waiting but that adds to the fun for us to find out which one your going to do. As all ways keep up the good work
Rob
Very interesting video never seen that you bought before we love this chanel because every week there is something new different stuff happening keep the good content coming guys
Phil in stoke
Looking forward to the build Rob/Chris, You guys do a wonderful job on all your Cars, A massive RESPECT to you guy's, Thx you
Nice one guys always a pleasure to watch. Chris is a genius and I hope he finds a load more change under the seats because he deserves it :):):):):)
Hi chris and rob amazing content is that a modified plate you put back in the mech unit as the aluminium is thicker round wear the accumulator screws to as that is the weakest parts of these mechatronic unit i would recommend using the correct bolts to fit the front cover on the mech unit but that my preference just a little help/advise if needed you need a OAM mechatronic removal tool can buy them off of ebay for about £12 you will need this refit the mech unit to the gearbox it holds the clutch forks away from the mech makes it easier to install you will also have to line all the selectors up on the back the mech unit use a Vernier Gauge And measure all 4 corners to 25 mm and in the gearbox you will have to make sure all the gear selectors are in neutral in the gearbox if these are not lined up properly it can get stuck in gear or not have certain gears when reprogramming or quick learn after installation also you dont need to pump the oil in through the drain plug i find it easier to pour in from the top just under the battery you will see the gear selector cable remove the 10mm bolt from selector and under that there is a black plastic cover remove the 4 30 torx bolt remove the cover and put a funnel in the gearbox and pour it in from the top less mess its the way i learned how to fi these mech units sorry this i lots to read but i just though i would share some of my experience with you guys hope this helps and makes sense
What a lovely car ., very interesting tge rebuild on that as they do seem to be a common problem , some good info there love it good luck guys 👍👍👍
I was going to say before but I forgot to mention.
You 2 should invest in 2 LED rechargeable head torches.
For years I used a light like yours broke me mad.
I went camping and bought a head torch and mine is my best mate how. Where ever I go it goes honestly they make your life 💯 easier working on motors 😉😉
Great video showing jobs most people would be too scared to do, I had a VW Passat with the DSG box and had to have a dual mass flywheel fitted, not a cheap job
Great content what a guy Chris is ! Nothing that man can’t do 👊👊👊
Great content guys! Like being in the workshop!-without getting covered in oil!!!
That is the mechatronic unit, I repaired an A1 box with a rebuild kit for around £350 and it's still going strong
Another great video rob and Chris just wish they were longer
👍👍👏
Brilliant video nice car it’s the same as my s line but I’ve not got a d,s,g box 👍
Another really good technical video 😀
Great vid nice work guys 👍
Thanks
Thanks Chris and Rob. Great content.
Your getting some really challenging projects at the moment. Great to see the variety
Another great video guys, Chris is just like a guru with cars there is nothing that man can not do 👍👍
Love the look of this competition edition but I know its not everyone's cup of tea,I'm sure you boys will get to the bottom of it,had to laugh at Rob telling Chris off doing a bit of work on the range rover cos he needs to film etc🤣🤣love the dynamics of you 2 but that's why most people probably watch the channel personally,cheers guys👍
Chris is a fearless legend! Respect for having a go! Nice video!
Top job Chris, no sign of getting stuck with that disassembly👍
Another top class job by Chris, great coverage of the DSG box. And a dealer was quoting 4k? Great stuff lads.
Great content 👌 Rob and Chris love it 😀
Such a cool Audi A1 S Line,looks special.
Dsg fails are uncommon here where i am on the A1,great video as always Rob! :D
Great video, I had this issue a few years ago on my Audi A4. When the issue happened it felt like the car was going to explode - the vibration was crazy. Cost me about £4K to fix and is why my Audi specialist warned me this will always happen on VW and Audi’s and why I’ll never buy one of these brands again. I got a replacement unit, fascinating to see you can rebuild them.
Its amazing watching Chris on that time lapse so organised an education 👏 😍
Nice little car and hopefully a good turnaround for you guys, great videos as always have a good one
i'm a mechanic, tried to catch that bloody lid, knocked the screen over...
it takes a few psi to rupture that casing, wear/tear, or failed pressure circuit somewhere?
very interesting vid, learning all the time....
keep up the excellent work chaps!
Very interesting video. One of the main causes of failure is lack of servicing on dsg/S-tronic gearboxes. The 6spds are every 40k mile and the more robust 7spds are every 70k. But most vag dealers do not advise owners of this, just in the same way they never advised owners of the 6 and 8spd zf boxes. I had mk6 GTI dsg and had the box serviced as soon as I bought the car as vw has fixed price servicing for the dsg/S-tronic gearboxes.
Keep on top of the servicing and they work fine. Very fast changing and these 2nd gen dsg boxes are a bit smoother at pulling away in low revs compared to the first gen in the mk5 golfs.
Top work again Chris & Rob 👍
great video guys on the audi loved watching
Good video, quite a technical video. Much enjoyed.
Awesome to watch the refurbishment. Well done Chris!
Hi from durham guys👋👍 and I hope chris appreciated driving around with rob as much as you appreciated catching that box out vito😂👌 never mind nice to see you working it was nice to see chris getting chauffeured 👍😂 and great watch on the mecatronics was brilliant watching chris working his magic👌 its mad how that computer runs a dual clutch as quick as they do tho👍 and the contacts list ever expanding👌 keep up guys and if need hand pushing rangey in giv is a shout 😂 thanks for your time and be safe see you soon guys👍👋
Nice one Chris, those Mechatronic's units are a complicated bit of kit, well done big fella
I can add another one to the needs a gearbox! Great to see that certain things on a car aren't terminal and sell for scrap as dealers make out. Cheers Guy's. Keep up the good work and let Chris get out on the mower to let off steam.
Love the reference to getting the range off the blocks so Rob can get into the engine bay.!
another cracking video guys can't wait to see if it solves the problem keep them coming 💯💯💯👍👍👍👍
Amazing Content on the Audi A1 Guys. Keep it up Lads. See you on Friday.
People never use a1 gearboxes in biggleswade Bedfordshire had bad experience with them.... great video as always guys
Chris jumps in with the confidence that only a true expert has. Why are modern cars so effing complicated? Great vid, lads. Hope your run of luck continues.
I've I had a Polo and a Golf DSG,and I had problems with the mechatronics unit on both of them.
Top work as always from you guys 👌🏻
well done guys another great video to watch
superb work as always
Thats a nice looking motor, hope you get it running ok again 😊👍
My number 1 youtube channel. Only found it a couple if weeks ago.
Guys,have you considered getting a scooter/motorcycle to do quick runs for small parts?
Will keep costs down if needing to cross the dartford bridge for small parts. Just a thought
Yet another gearbox, you will be specialists soon. I have to say that I couldn't really undestand how that thing works. I will have to look at TH-cam! Thanks Rob and Chris for another interesting video.
Nice one Rob and Chris 👍👍
DSG Repair/Upgrades are common place so nice little project for you both as its a very nice desirable sporty A1
I have been following you for over two years. Always loved the channel, even when Chris was silent in the background. Now you are the best car TH-camrs bar none with both of you explaining what you are doing. I have nothing at all to do with the car trade, but eagerly await Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays to see what you are up to. 👍
Great video guys 👍🏻
mechatronic unit, have had the same problem on golf's ages ago, used to send them away to be re built
