I have a MKV (DSG) with almost 300k miles. The transmission shows flashing PRNDS with blocks and will only engage in 1st and 3rd. I have an OBDeleven dongle and app which shows low voltage to a solenoid. Obviously it is the one that controls the even gears and reverse. My question is this. Can I swap out the gearbox with a HXU from a junkyard and drive away? I have pulled my transmission before to replace my DMF and have the ability to do it again. The car isn't worth paying for a professional and using new parts, but I don't mind throwing a couple hundred dollars at it in an effort to get going again. I will also buy VCDS if it is necessary for this project. My concern is the software. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Option two would be to replace the offending solenoid and pray, but it is likely that there will be more problems in the future from the mechatronics unit, based on my research. Thanks again.
