View all FAQsHow do I know whether the clutch or gearbox is the problem?
Symptoms can overlap. Difficulty selecting gears, noise, judder or loss of drive do not identify a single failed component on their own. Share the registration and the issues you are experiencing so the garage can advise on the appropriate inspection.
Do you repair every automatic gearbox?
The garage does not repair every type of automatic gearbox. Share the registration and gearbox details first so the team can confirm whether the vehicle is within scope.
Do you work on DQ250 and DQ500 DSG gearboxes?
Yes. The garage works on DQ250 and DQ500 DSG gearboxes. The exact fault and appropriate repair still need to be confirmed for each vehicle.
Can I enquire about a gearbox oil change?
Yes. Gearbox oil changes are available for manual and selected automatic transmissions. The correct oil and procedure depend on the exact gearbox, so provide the registration and transmission details first.
Do you repair mechatronic units and clutch actuators?
Yes. The garage repairs mechatronic units and clutch actuators. Inspection is still needed because fault codes and symptoms can involve related systems.
