Bad service of 2006 TDI

Hey there, I took my car at a service shop to do basically 2 things: 1 was the DSG service, and the second was to change out the harness on the driver door. The main problem I was seeing was that my driver side door window was intermittent going up and down. I also had an issue with the door lock button on the driver side, wasn't really doing much. It would pretty much not control any of the doors to lock/unlock. I have been dealing with the door lock thing for 5-7 years, and the window issue for the last 2 months. I really wanted to address the window up/down issue.
They ended up keeping it for 2 weeks, which was concerning, but it was over the 4th of July so they were saying they were short staffed. When I got the car back last night, it looked like the window and the door seemed to be working on the short drive back home. WHen I started it up this morning, I got a service engine light, this morning, and at one point It looked like it was not shifting properly for a short period of time. I stopped and started it , and the shifting issue didn't seem to happen again for the remaining of the 3 mile drive back.
I put it to my vagcom, and here are all the codes I'm seeing:
It is worrisome, but I wanted to get some input:
There is a ton of stuff in here, and hard for me to decipher. I called Mike(little) at Fallon to let him know that there is something wrong with my car since getting it back. I sent him the codes that I'm seeing this morning.

oops sorry..can I have one deleted?

Since, you have VCDS: maybe you should do a DSG calibration. The ton of electric codes tells me that the driver door harness was causing a battery drain (supply voltage lower limit exceeded). Sine the control module for radio also contains errors, the battery drain might also be caused by the radio.
005 - No or Incorrect Basic Setting / Adaptation: open-close the driver window all the way up and down a few times. The driver side door control module is not correctly coded.
The auxiliary heater is defective: you need to remove it and re-solder the resistors. make sure the battery is disconnected when you do so.
The check engine light is caused by the codes related to the turbo.
I would save the current VCDS report, clean the errors, run a DSG calibration and drive it for a while. Then I would re-scan it and see what codes come back.

The check engine was what was worrisome. A new turbo error, after these guys had the car for a period of time. I don't have a lot of confidence that these guys were really TDI gurus.

Well first, it is best to give the shop a chance to at least look at the car. It may not have anything to do with what they did or did not do, and you've already plastered their name on the internet in a negative way.

The codes related to the engine controller would have nothing at all to do with servicing the DSG, or at least they shouldn't. The only thing you have to unplug on the BRM DSG car to service the transmission is the MAF sensor, not the vane sensor (on the turbo itself, up high near the firewall), or the N75 valve (on the firewall, up high, above the master cylinder area). Although it is certainly possible something got bumped in the process. Again, letting them look at it is an easy enough thing to do.

As far as the door stuff, it could simply be that the key was switched on at some point while the harness was unplugged OR a bunch of DTCs were hanging around in the BECAUSE the old harness was bad, and for whatever reason they did not think to clear them when they were done with the job. Again, easily fixed, and perhaps they really were super busy and missed that part.

So relumalutan,
The only thing I could find when I search the DSG calibration is this link:
http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=169356&highlight=DSG+calibration
It sounds like something I should be doing in the end part of the actual DSG service. It talks about the VAS6262 tool etc. Is that something I can do without having that tool? I guess I could just get it to temp, and shift it to the various selectors while the foot on the brake.
THanks for any help, as it is frustrating to have problems arise after what I thought was a fairly easy job.

Oilhammer,
I was trying to show some restraint with my initial post. I guess it came across as being negative. I'm going to try clearing the codes, and see if they come back. I'm now hearing that that they had a dead battery while they had it for 2 weeks, so I'm not sure if this was contributory to the problems that are going on. After that, I will take it up to them, and see if they knocked the N75 or something.

So after doing a reset, I drove it for a little bit. It looks like there is a problem with some type of connector or something. The light hasn't come back on yet, but when it shifts(DSG) it seems to be revving really high. That is what happened this morning when it threw the engine light. I'm wondering if the N75 will be causing that. I plan on going up to the shop this afternoon to see if he can figure out if it is that issue.

Sounds like a newb worked on your car. You might need a new tranny.

oh great.

Oilhammer might be right when he says that the shop might have turned the key in ignition with the door harness removed. I was also thinking that might have caused the ton of errors.
Don't jump to conclusions in regards to the DSG transmission. There were no codes related to it in your VCDS report that you posted. Follow this link for your DSG calibration, no VAS tool needed:http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/6-Speed_Direct_Shift_Gearbox_(DSG/02E)
I've been calibrating my DSG like 5 times using that link, and my car has 280k miles.
Once you get this mess sorted out, keep in mind that you can do the DSG fluid change yourself. It's fairly easy, just use the measuring method, no special VAS tool needed. Measure what you take out, and put back exactly the same amount:
https://www.myturbodiesel.com/wiki/...cement-service-vw-and-audi-stronic-oil-flush/
If you're worried that there is not enough fluid in the transmission, you can do this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lo8kiOxN8zg

So one question abuot low DSG. Is there something in the calibaration process, or the VAGCOM that would indicate that it was not properly filled? Would it throw errors, or run hot? I don't have extra DSG fluid to try following those other steps that relumalutan, and would need additional setup to perform that process. I am reluctant to drive it the 7 miles to the shop to have them look at it, if it is causing more damage(potentially).

I am not aware of VCDS having the capability to tell how much fluid is in the DSG, and unfortunately, the DSG does not have a dipstick. The only two ways that I think you can check without potentially causing damage are:
1 Buy some DSG fluid. Lift the car on jacks (level) and follow the steps listed on the last video I have sent you.
2 Tow the car back to the shop.

Sometimes, when you have a shop work on your VW that is not VW friendly, they will leave things disconnected or bust hoses and not give it another thought. If your car is running weird and it is showing turbo codes and N75 codes and such it can be something as simple, and complicated as a vacuum leak. It is EXTREMELY important for our TDIs to have a complete, connected and working vacuum system.

My first guess is that whoever worked on your car, when they removed the airbox, battery and such to get to the DSG filter probably disconnected a vacuum hose or sensor connector and left it unplugged. I would visually inspect to make sure all vacuum hoses are attached, especially the ones going to and from the N75 valve. I would also check the T junction at the Tandem pump. That one is usually overlooked too. This shouldn't take too long to do.

If your DSG is shifting weird and it does have fluid in it, a recalibration as suggested here should help. It is extremely easy to do and can be done with your Vagcom. Takes about 15 mins to do once the engine is warmed up.

Good luck!

The engine is down on power because [clearly from the DTCs] the turbocharger is not working correctly. THAT will cause the gears to be held out longer. Automatic transmissions get blamed for low engine power complaints all the time, no idea why, as a quick test drive will make that obvious. But in this case, we also have DTCs.

Again, this is all internet conjecture until the shop actually has had their chance to look at the car.

yeah they just towed it back to the shop. Will see what they say. The only thing that is the timing that they did a DSG service, and all the check engine light comes on, and I have all these errors. Some are attributed to the door issue, which like you said may be how they did the harness change.

I have done many dsg oil changes before converting to manual. Never have I had to re-calibrate. If you take a car in and something isn't right afterwards, they did something to it! Unintentionally or not. No such thing as a coincidence.

The DSG calibration is not mandatory after the fluid replacement.

so just heard back form the guys. It sounds like a vacuum hose was bumped off of the n75, and that was the cause of the problem. I'm so glad that this was all it was.

Don't want to sound like a A**H*** but you need to clear the name of the shop you acted like they crapped on you. The hoses on these old cars can come loose almost by looking at them. Sounds like they done you right. We all make a mistake once in a while but they didn't kill your car and stood behind their work. Just saying.

Yeah, I did clear the name from the original post. I was bothered after it first happened, more because I felt that there was some level of cover-up on the surface. It felt like someone cleared codes, and left the car for me to pick it up. Since it didn't have a problem when I started it, but when I started it the next morning, is when I saw the issue, and the engine light. I guess the cable could have fallen off on my drive home, and most of the codes could be attributed to that. I also thought that the door codes where probably there from the beginning, and should have been cleared, before I got it back. I think that they did the right thing at the end, but sometimes feel if that was someones mom having this issue (without VAGCOM and people on this site), it would have been some other issue that needed to be fixed...I'm just an eternal cynic... Thanks for all the help on this forum to get this resolved. I will have to get a few things for next time so that I can do my DSG on my own. I saw that one youtube that was pretty easy.

You have a duplicate thread, with the shop's name right up at the top. It even appears when you mouse-over the thread title.

edit: There's a thumbs down on this reply, which I did not intend to happen.

I still would read the codes and clear them to ensure things got fixed...

These DSGs are sensitive to fluid level...

I think OH hit it about the turbo not controlled correctly affecting drivability..
