1.4T Touran EA111 Repair DSG0AM Transmission Electromechanical Unit

Basically, something goes wrong with DSG electromechanical units around 100,000 kilometers away.

My electromechanical unit recalled 50,000 kilometers and replaced fully synthetic valve body oil with mineral oil. 160,000 kilometers were shipped out for insurance, but no problems were found.
Hydraulic pump failure was reported at 180,000 kilometers, and a car-dismantling electromechanical unit was replaced

At 200,000 kilometers, I checked the fault code after the self-driving tour and found that there had been occasional untrustworthy failure of the hydraulic pump. However, the small wrench was not lit at that time, and it never appeared after the fault code was cleared.

Now it is close to 300,000 kilometers, and it has begun to report that one or more gears in 1, 2, 5, and 6 cannot be connected. Small wrenches appear three or four times.

It feels like it is still a problem with the electromechanical unit. I have always had a principle in repairing cars that is not to touch the gearbox-related things and have no ability to repair them. This time, I am also planning to find a gearbox repair shop. In September 2021, I replaced the clutch and flywheel at a well-known gearbox repair shop.

I thought it was okay at that time, but I later discovered that gear oil was leaking, and I went to deal with it again in October 2022. It felt very bad, so I didn’t plan to go to this house again and decided to go to the house where the mechanical and electrical unit had been replaced before to replace the mechanical and electrical unit again.

Sometimes things are so coincidental. Just as I was about to go to Auto Parts City, Sagitar car friend Awen sent a message introducing various information on electromechanical unit maintenance and strongly recommending doing it yourself.

I started to learn various related knowledge online, and gradually felt that it was feasible.
The entire maintenance process has been full of twists and turns, which really conforms to the saying. If nothing goes wrong, something will always go wrong.
