My car is an octavia 1.6 diesel dsg auto and has done about 86000 miles. It has been running perfectly fine until last night when I stopped in the parking space and then when i come back and started it and put it in drive it will only show D and not D1 as normal and then GEARBOX ERROR appeared.

Despite driving an Octavia, I too have the dreaded dry 7 speed DSG transmission. Currently in the 6th year of ownership from new with just about 90,000 miles on. And fingers well crossed. However if the DSG issue affects the trade-in value (as it must) I might as well drive the car, i.e it is worth more to me to drive than trade.
2. Higher gear, high efficiency: The DSG automatic transmission system works in its highest efficiency in the higher gears. Hence, the DSG automatic car should be driven in higher gars as much as possible, in order to allow the gearbox to work at its optimum level of efficiency. 3. Get an extended warranty: The DSG automatic gearbox is complex Sarah18. Hi I'm new to the site. I'd be grateful for advice re my 2011 Yeti 1.2 DSG 7 gearbox failing at just 34000 miles Sudden problem of judder in 1st gear, was driveable though AA fault code suggested clutch pack problem. Towed to gearbox specialist who diagnosed probable mechtronic and clutch pack failure, likely £3000 -£4000 to fix. Since my family is reluctant to drive a manual in stop-start traffic, I'm looking for a DSG with some miles to keep the price low. Therefore, I'd like to ask for some help. I have read on the forums about the problems older Yetis tend to suffer from. However, I'd like to ask on problems to look out for regarding the DSG gearbox.

The problem you've described suggests a build-up of metallic particles (from wear and tear inside the transmission) which are being attracted to the magnetic sensors inside the gearbox and leading to bogus commends being sent to the car's on-board computer.
