Alreet lads,
Im experiencing a little trouble with the s3, keeps jumping out of gear when in Manual, it's done it three times now only when turning right on a roundabout in third gear. When this happens I have to select drive and all is fine. Car is a 2009 s3 8p stronic not got any error codes on VCDS. Gear oil was changed 10,000 mile ago.
Gear selector maybe? Do you think a DSG reset would sort any problems out. Link http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/6-Speed_Direct_Shift_Gearbox_(DSG/02E)
Any views cheers
 
It wouldn't hurt to do a DSG reset if you have Vag-com I did it on the 3.2 TT shortly after buying it can make the box smoother.

Or it could be early sign of a Mechatronics unit problem, you don't always get fault codes.
 
Hello

Cheers for the reply, I'm going to do a reset this weekend, see how I get on but I was fearing the mechatronics unit. Look expensive, are they easy enough to fit.

Cheers Dan
 
Take all roundabouts in second gear, sorted :)
