The mechatronic components represent the ‘brain’ of the 7 gear dual-clutch gearbox DSG. They can implement complex shift operations in a fraction of a second. They consist of a control device and control valve assembly together with individual sensors and actuators. If a shift is to be performed, the control device communicates the gearbox data to the vehicle electronics network. Conversely, information is transmitted via this interface from the vehicle and motor to the gearbox computer.
Closed system
The mechatronics module is an autonomous unit with its own oil circulation system. The advantages are obvious:
- The viscosity of the hydraulic fluid can be adjusted specifically to suit these operating conditions.
- The high degree of purity of the hydraulic oil permits the use of so-called cartridge valves with extremely small clearances. The result: significantly lower leakage rates and therefore efficient operation of an electrically driven pump.
- The mechatronic components can be installed independently of the gearbox and they can be exhaustively tested in advance.
- The system is ‘hybrid-friendly’, because the dual-clutch can be engaged and the gears can be changed even when the internal combustion motor is not running.
Are there users who have had issues with this part? I have a new Skoda Superb 1.8 TSI (done 10,000 km), under warranty where the mechatronic has failed. The authorized service centre has been holding the car now for 10 days and have still been unable to sort it out. Is this normal?

There is a problem with the Mechatronic Control Unit. My 2010 Jetta “Millag 57000 KM” has failed. Gear indecator is Flashing. The Gear box now is only shifting to Odd gears “1,3,5&7″. Gears “2,4,6 and R” are not working no more. I live in Egypt and My Car is from the Gulf and the Vendor is not gonna fix it for me as they said I’m not under their Warranty cost will be around 65000 L.E ……. Any Advice?!!!
Hi all is there a repair company or remanufacturer of the Mechatronic control?

The mechatronics unit has failed in my golf mk6, Does anybody know the price of the unit?
Mechatronic part failed in my Jetta 2010 bought from Egypt. Anyone knows how much does it cost ? also how to file a complain as it was under warranty @ the time of failure, but the agency didn’t fix it for 2 months now claiming there is no spare parts in Germany !!!
