My vehicle went into limp mode I believe. It would not go into reverse and was stuck in a single gear going forward.
I had to towed to the dealer and they said they will check to see if it's related to the DSG service I had them perform on Thursday.
I picked up the car after the service on Thursday and Sunday afternoon my wife was gone on an errand when I got a call that the vehicle won't go into reverse. Once I got there I was able to get it into reverse I'm guessing since the transmission had time to cool off while my wife was waiting for me to get there. After I restarted again I lost reverse again.
The gear selection indication on the dash disappears shortly after the vehicle is started. So it will say P when I start and then it'll go away after 3 seconds.
The car was also had the heater core replaced and coolant flushed during the same visit.
I scanned the code and it had a P0746 code. What are the chances they under-filled the DSG during the service? or is it more likely just a coincidence.
The vehicle is at 248,511 Miles (399,940 KM) so anytime I go into the dealership they are quick to blame things on the amount of mileage the vehicle has.
Since I was able to get it into reverse once it had time to cool down I'm thinking it could also be the temp sensor or a loose ground. Would it be all or nothing if it was the mechatronic module or would it be hit or miss as I was able to get it into reverse at least once.
