The Repair Process

At Autogearbox, we follow a clear and structured process to get your DSG gearbox back to top performance:

  • Initial Assessment: Every repair starts with a thorough diagnosis. Whether your Audi, Volkswagen or Skoda is showing signs of clutch wear, gearbox hesitation or other DSG issues, our team pinpoints the exact cause.
  • Repair Or Replacement: Once the problem is identified, we either repair the affected parts or replace them with high-quality, approved components to ensure reliability.
  • Reconditioning: For some models, we offer full reconditioning, bringing the gearbox back to a like-new state so you can enjoy smooth gear changes again.
  • Testing: After the work is done, each gearbox is tested to confirm that it operates efficiently and smoothly under different conditions.
  • Final Check: Before returning your vehicle, we carry out a final inspection to ensure every issue has been resolved and the gearbox meets our high standards.

With repairs completed, the next step is keeping your gearbox in top condition.

Preventative Care And Maintenance

Keeping your DSG gearbox in good condition doesn’t stop at repairs. Regular maintenance is key to avoiding future issues and prolonging the life of your gearbox. We recommend following manufacturer guidelines for oil changes and servicing. Using the correct DSG fluid for your model ensures the gearbox operates smoothly and efficiently.

Even if your vehicle seems to be running well, a routine inspection can catch early signs of wear before they develop into costly problems. Our team can advise on the service intervals specific to your car and perform the necessary checks, helping you stay ahead of any potential issues.

For drivers across the UK, regular maintenance through our DSG gearbox services provides peace of mind and helps maintain the reliability of your car. Whether it’s a simple oil top-up or a full inspection, taking these preventative steps can save you time and money in the long run.

Keeping Your DSG Gearbox Performing For The Long Term

Beyond regular maintenance, how you drive your car can also make a difference to your DSG gearbox’s lifespan. Gentle acceleration, avoiding aggressive gear changes and allowing the gearbox to warm up in colder weather can help reduce strain on components.

These small adjustments combined with our professional servicing contributes to smoother shifts and fewer unexpected repairs.

Being proactive with care and repairs means your vehicle remains reliable, and you can enjoy the performance and comfort that DSG gearboxes are known for.
