Volkswagen Gearbox Repair Specialists

Volkswagen is renowned for producing some of the most popular and reliable cars on UK roads, from the Golf and Polo to the Passat and Tiguan. Many of these models are fitted with DSG (Direct-Shift Gearbox) transmissions, which deliver fast, seamless gear changes — but when faults occur, they demand specialist repair.

At Gearbox Gurus, we provide expert VW gearbox repairs, reconditioning and diagnostics nationwide. Using main dealer software and OEM-quality parts, our team delivers dealership-level precision at far more affordable prices.

Common Volkswagen Gearbox Problems

The DSG DQ200, DQ250, DQ381 and DQ500 gearboxes are fitted to a wide range of Volkswagen models, and each comes with common issues we see daily in our workshop:

• Juddering or hesitation when accelerating

• Mechatronic faults leading to loss of drive or limp mode

• Clutch wear causing slipping or harsh engagement

• Failure to engage reverse or other gears

• Grinding, whining or clunking noises

• Dashboard error codes such as P0729, P0730, P17BF, P17D8, P189C

Ignoring these symptoms can lead to total gearbox failure, which is why early diagnosis and repair is essential.

From a Golf with DSG clutch judder to a Passat with mechatronic failure or a Tiguan with gearbox error codes, our technicians have the expertise to put it right quickly and professionally.
