DDTSB, love it!
Dan, my first port of call after scanning the vehicle would have been to view live data on the gear selector. This should remove doubt about the position and point you in the correct direction? You ddtsb however is a time saver, and I will be subscribing when my workshop is repurposed for in and out jobs. 👍🏽
You should offer a 24-hour use for DDTSB for like $20. That way, it will be financially viable for people who work on their own car and need it once every 1-2 years.
Dan, is DDTSB available in the US?
@@WrenchLink yes but its only recommended if you work on European cars. It contains no information on American cars.
I'm a retired owner of a European repair shop in America and yes the most difficult thing about repairing these cars was information. Nice to see the aftermarket coming together
Information is key, but most of the time is very expensive. We desided to change that and make it accessable for as many as possible!
@@Diagnosedan the TSBs are free of charge, they are posted on the "nhtsa" page and I am pretty sure that you are just copying them.
Here quickly I found the official TSB number from VW AG regarding that very same problem. Makes me wonder why yours database is paid when the official is free??
34 20 43 2047609/2 February 19, 2020. Supersedes Technical Service Bulletin Group 34 number 17-20 dated April 25, 2017 for reasons listed below.
@@radoadamov9201 do they show information for european sold cars also? Or just cars sold in U.S?
I think DDTSB show way more info than manufacturers TSB's this one was as an example.
@@CANlectric I am in US, the cars are made in Germany, so they are covered too if you need it. Just look there first. I am also authorized from audi and Volkswagen of America to work on those and I get the TSBs straight on my laptop, very convenient.
@@radoadamov9201 okay and do you also have tsbs for non usdm models like a Peugeot 308?
Sometimes people don't have words to express the quality of some people and you are one of these wonderful people Ahmed from Berlin
Thanks Ahmad
Outstanding another great video, it’s also nice when people play by the rules.
I am fully persuaded that if this car had been brought to a transmission shop in the United States, magically it would’ve needed a new transmission
There are a lot of great shops out there, you Just need to find them.
Always good to see a news video come in! Love all your videos Dan, as an apprentice technician, I learn a lot of diag methods from you and help me a lot!
That's great to hear!
I was looking what to watch, as soon as i saw DiagnoseDan, click no more thinking. Thank you for this video, always enjoyable to watch your work.
And thank you for watching!😁
Even though I'll never have t repair any vehicle again being disabled, i love watching how much knowledge you have & may be able to diagnose a problem in other members of my families vehicles. P.S. love the bloopers.😂😂😂
Thanks for the great comment!
I appreciate your skill and how you explain what is happening, I recently help a family move to the Netherlands and pointed them to see you as they wanted a trustworthy person! All the best! Thanks from England 🏴
Thanks Mark!
Ahhh proper torqueing !!!!! That's the way to do it .... As older technician I've learned more from Diag Dan , Eric O , Pine Hollow than from crappy Honda "Training" we have at dealership ........
Dan and Eric are at the top of the diagnosing chain imho.
Comments like this make my Day! Thank you👍
They're good but Keith is diagnose king.
@@c00l3zt who is Keith? Leave a link...
I really learn alot from you Dan..from South Africa
Soon as you said 'Only leave vehicle in park' - I immediately said 'That will be the microswitch sticking in the selector lever'.
It's a known issue on every DSG model with that style of shifter, which is pretty much all of them as it has been in use for 15 years ,
I've seen that issue on 2005's all the way to 2017 models on many VAG cars, mainly VW
Same. I'm an Audi Tech and it's super common, although out fault shows "electrical system fault" on the dash.
That was my same thought.
If you know you know😁 But could you Imagine if you see this for the first time it could take some time to figure out?
That's why having access to information is key, especially when you work on multiple brands.
@@Diagnosedan Completely agree! - it's great when you know, but yes - if you don't then you have to fully diagnose and as you say that information can save a huge amount of time (and money)
Any one can help? I have this problem too. Where I can get this switch from? How u call this part? Please help me
Thanks Dan not one I have come across but definitely one I would have turned to DDTSB for!
Anyone who doesn’t have it… get it. It’s a diagnostic life changer.
Great to see you here Rob!
Thanks for the positive feedback!
To say that motor vehicles are 10 times more complicated than the vehicles of 30 or 40 years ago would be making an understatement...more like 50 times.
Thank you for your video Dan - watching from the UK
Technology advances are a good thing but like everything are best in moderation
Diagnose Dan is the the man with the answers. Great savings to the customer..
Thanks for the comment Frank it's appriciated!
NOTHING MAKES ME HAPPIER THAN A NEW DIAGNOSE DAN VIDEO!!!
🤣🤣👍
In this industry/trade, information is golden, so many times I've been able to resource info and not only zero in on a diag, but effect a repair in short order and get it right....easily.
Thanks a lot Dan this is really helpfull for all who wants to DIY such issue. One request on DDTSB is for the Sunday handyman like me to offer access on demand since we generally do not exceed half a dozen interventions per year on our beloved vehicle. Cheers Charles from Geneva Switzerland
Good to see you again Dan! Wish you had time to upload more often. And the bloopers never get old! Wish more RUclipsrs did this...
There were to many bloopers on this video🤣🤣
I'm glad I kept my 21 year old Mercedes and know how to fix it, No EGR valve, no cat, no DPF, no service light etc, suits me just fine. 🙂
What a professional!! And funny too 😀 it’s a pleasure watching your content
Thank you!!
it makes so much sense that one garage thought its the gearboxes job to know what gear its in since the dsg gearbox has its own electronic brain , but the clue is the fault code was recorded by the steering column module, good demonstration how every detail of the fault has to be considered and never assume anything , a daily task! but my daily experiance is i have to go though 17 fault codes on each car in one diagnose session each ,how do you get such "clean" cars??? lol
Most cars are quite clean here.
It is as always a pleasure to watch a skilled worker do his magic
Thank you very much!
Diagnose Dan is the Scanner Danner of Holland for sure. Like your videos and if I still lived in Germany I would definitively subscribe to your DD-TSB.
Thanks for your awsome comment it's really appriciated Cullen!
Welcome back Dan, we've missed you a lot, hope you're doing great as usual & remember "DiagnoseDan Fixed it Again"😎
Stay Safe Bro👍
Thank you very much!
It's been a long time man, don't miss too much, let's learn from you, professor
Thanks for the comment!
Dan just to say I did this repair on a A3 2 months ago and it was thanks to DDTSB that I subscribed to just after seeing it on one of your previous videos it’s a great tool and worth every penny
That's awsome!!!
Diagnose Dan.... Fixed it again.... Me and my mechanic students were missing you!!
I missed you guys to!
4:25 Great to see an actual torsion wrench being used to change the wheels. Way too many shops just use impact gun at high power.
😉👍
Used your video to order this part and install it. Fixed the issue on my Seat Leon. Many thanks! Keep it going.
Can you please tell me what’s the part name is?
@@jo.jokergamer2048 5Q0713128A
hey Dan i just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart im learning so much from you Oh and bloopers are hilarious keep em coming🙏
I'm so happy to see you again Dan. Love your videos.
Happy to see you here too Dan!
Hi Dan , I run a very busy workshop and always watch your videos, love from South Wales 🏴 uk 🇬🇧
That's great to hear!
nice to have another of your videos, always professional, smart and well presented 👍
Smart?🤣🤣🤣🤣
I know is so late but you're the best.
Thank you for your efforts.
Another great video . Knowledge from everybody and everywhere can save you a lot of time .
Exactly!
Good to see you again Dan! You have put together a great business and excellent videos.
Thanks! Great to see you here again in the comment section.
Brilliant diagnosing Dan. Fantastic bloopers too. :-))
🤣🤣👍
I learn a lot of dsg methods from you and help me a lot. I really love all your amazing videos and always good to see you and your new video come in. Love you man ❤
my 2010 Chevy Silverado, I could relearn the tire position with no tool because I could turn the engine off and turn on the key and on the odometer, I could push the button and put it in learning mode. I could deflate the tire and air it up and go around the whole truck in this manner. when deflating it, I would deflate until I heard the horn honk and then I could air it back up and repeat with each tire. The sensors do wear out after 10 years though and require replacement! Programming the key is the same way; you put it in learning mode with the headlights in off and radio off because the process for programming a new key takes about 45 minutes. I'm glad Chevy made it easy for these two things anyway!
My car does the same message some times, thank you, now im sure what is the problem 👏👏👏
Great!!!💪
Great explanation about how fast diagnosing a car can become really expensive,
if you don't have the access to the right information!
No wonder you've recommended your wife a Mitsubishi, because that will never break down!
😂😂💪
You just found my son's car problem 😁. He has a seat ibiza 1.0l dsg and sometimes the same error code appears (very rare), at least i know what i have to do. Thanks 👍
That's great!!
Love your videos Dan, you are the go to guy for diagnostics. I use Autel also.
Thanks for the comment it's appriciated!!
I like this man! He knows what he is doing.
Thank you very much
Very informative on this repair. I don’t work on VW car but very useful information. Love the bloopers at the end. Another great video.
Thanks Steven
Thank you again Dan your skill set is on another level you really are a master technician thanks for sharing mate 👍🦘🇦🇺
Thanks Damien!
Good job. I sold my vw golf 1.6tdi with 30.000km because od this error. Had in 3x in official vw shop, car off the road for 2months and they could not fix it- lost confidence in the car. Now i have octavia rs also with dsg and it works like a charm after 80.000km. Yes i know one is dry and the other is the wet dsg, but still, very upset about the vw official workshop not being able to fix the issue…
Wow that's unfortunate!
Working at a Volkswagen dealer, I have installed so many micro switches as part of a recall for golf's, jettas and beetles
I can Imagine Brandon
Those Winter wheels are much nicer than summer. Great video as usuall.
My wife doesn't agree😁
@@Diagnosedan For the Mother of God do not try to argue with her.
Lol
Totally agree Dan it’s a fantastic software with so many valid and present information, but it’s a awesome valid cheat but even dealerships use TPI which Is relatively same . It’s a program that every workshop should have .
Thanks for the awsome feedback!
Another great informative video, I'm especially interested in this video because my wife's car is 2016 GOLF. Thanks Dan, if this fault occurs I'll know exactly how to fix it.
Lets hope it doesn't happen but if it does you now know how to fix it! It's an easy job that can be done without special tools!
Nice there is an inexpensive repair and you've put together a large system of information to help techs.
It's very helpfull!
Tune in after 5 mins. The first 5 mins is about selling the diagnostic tool. Long winded explanation however it was informative in the end. Just really took a long time to get to the solution
I really appreciate this channel and this dude, thanks for sharing your knowledge on RUclips.
Thanks for taking the time to leave this positive comment it's really appriciated.
just did this today. My girlfriend had this problem for more than a year and a half. Took me about an hour to fix and clear the codes and it's done and she saved herself more than $1200. I think this should be a TSB but its not even an issue in my country. They just replace the shifter instead.
Great videos, thanks for sharing Diagnose Dan! Also like the bloopers 😃😃
DDTSB is a very valuable tool folks.
Thanks for the great feedback Sir 👍👍
Great as always Danno,. Wishing you and your family a wonderful Christmas 🎄
Happy Christmas Dave!
There is a bit of video in your ads Dan.
🤣🤣
It is a great day when Diag-Dan has a new video!
😁😁
Hello Dan! I really like your videos, but...in the last year you've uploaded 6-7 videos and now the newest one is more a sales pitch for DDTsb than a car diagnosing video!!!
I'd like to see a real diagnostic video, like those with the BMW with the blown chip in the door handle, or the Mercedes that didn't start when hot... those were in the heavyweight category. :)
Couldnt agree more
I used to really look forward to the technical videos he used to put out but every video (when there is one) in the last few months is literally a 20 minute sales pitch, I get business is business but thats not why I subscribed to the channel and is also why I will be unsubscribing
I agree, im also unsubcribing. This has nothing to do with diagnose its just one big commercial
That really depends on what Comes into the shop. Don't worrie if it's interesting i'll film it. Making RUclips video's is also not my daytime job.
@@Diagnosedan I understand that, however, my main point was about the content, biased towards marketing lately and less towards diagnosing and not about the frequency of the videos.
I don't know what your intended audience is, but, while containing very precious information, DDTSB is not a tool for me. I don't make a living from fixing cars (although I'm thinking I should've pursued that). I'm a software guy with a strong passion for cars and motorcycles. So a subscription based model doesn't work for me. I only maintain two cars and two bikes. A subscription to DDTSB makes little sense to me. By the time I need to use it would probably be expired.
What is really valuable to me, and probably to much of your audience, is how you go about finding defects. The diagnosing process. Something we can apply in finding other defects too. In the VW case, I wanted to know how you diagnose that switch if you don't have your knowledge and access to something like DDTSB.
If you'll consider a limited time subscription which someone like me could purchase when they need it (for let's say a day, or a week and for a specific vehicle) then I might get interested. Otherwise, watching a promotional marketing video is not something I need. I'll probably never own that VW car, so knowing that VW came up with that hack to fix this particular defect, adds little to my ability to fix my own cars.
Sorry if I offended you in any way. It was not my intention. I'm only pleading for the return of the real diagnostic videos.
@@Diagnosedan
BECAUSE it's not your daytime job, you should be less worried about selling us products/services. I've seen people losing their audience this way too many times. You're probably the best diagnostician I came across (and I'm a trained diag that went to 2 years, full-time diag school, and then 1-year co-op with a diag of 12 years, who is also an electrical engineer...So that says a LOT. It will be a shame if you wasted your skill on selling stuff instead of sharing your wisdom.
No offence though...Just my 2 cents.
have the same problem on my audi a3 2014 2.0 tdi and YOU just saved me a lot of money right before christmmas. THANK YOU!! 🍻🍻
cant wait to show this video to mechanik who almost put 700€ in his pocket
heeeeellll nooo 😁😁
😂😂😂💪
My best mate started his LAME (Licenced Aircraft Mechanical Engineer) in 1975. Since then, any new aircraft used by the airline caused him to study and get licensed for it. At 64 years he still does it.
Wow that's great!
I thought you weren't coming back, we missed the DD videos!.
I'm right here😁
ddtsb is a brilliant idea as always brilliant turns up too late for me sad face yours retired in scotland ps good to see you back making vids and still plugging away i started diag with sykes pickavant pod system and a siemens 631
Thanks for the positive comment Sir! I'd love to visit Schotland one Day🏴.
Any recommendations where to go?
Hi Dan, nice to see you back. Always interesting video's it's a shame there is such a long gap between them. I have come to the conclusion vehicles are too complicated, it should have stopped at the DAF Variomatic 😁.
Wishing you both a good Christmas
Regards Richard 🇬🇧
My Dad used to work on those little Dafs, as a kid i helped him change the drive belts. Although it was an ugly little Car, it was technically pretty amazing.
@@Diagnosedan They reminded me of a posh cleaner Trabant 😁. Yes they were a good little car nice and simple and did the same as a modern car, get you from A to B
Regards Richard
@@Diagnosedan Agree with Richard, about complexity. In 40 years as a Euro specialist/shop owner, I know I spend more time "in school" than ever before and recommend your videos. I too helped my dad change DAF rubber bands. More than a half century later that same Variomatic works great. New Michelins are on order!
Loved the bloopers at the end as well Dan
🤣 me too
Dan Dan you are the man.....please make more videos
I'm trying!
Another excellent video Dan…
I have all Autel equipment. Love the ease of use
No you dont have it.
Yes it's great value for money
Informations and a good head to think and analysis those Informations.
I am specialis in German cars in Canada.
I like your methods Dan.
Thanks you! Your comment is really appriciated
Another great video. I have that scan tool and also have ddtsb. Both very helpful.
That's great to hear James!!
I wish there was a DIY subscription for DDTSB for example for a single VIN or similar.
Thanks Dan for another really interesting video and the TSB database is a great idea.
Thanks Garett😁💪
Very common problem on these cars, cracking video 👍
Thanks Andy
Haha proving to the wife on camera that you put her tires on. 😁 Happy Wife equals Happy Life! Good to see you saving people money too. Trying to get manufacturer data and bulletins is like pulling teeth even if you want to pay for it. I'm sure this will help many independent shops as well. Dan you and the Family have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Merry Christmas Kevin and thanks for the comment.
I can guarantee the dealership would tell you you need a new transmission, not everyone is honest like you.
Always great to see you Dan, hope you are well.
Thanks Ben!
Great watching your videos Dan, funny thing is my two favourite diagnosticians are called Dan, you and scanner danner 👍
Paul is indeed a great Guy and he's got an Amazing channel, keep watching him!
Diagnosedan is always great.
I always waiting for your new video.
Thanks!!!
Thanks Dan! We need this in the 🇺🇸.
Unfortunately USA models are not included, European and Asian only!
Welcome back Dan we have missed you :)
Missed you guys to!!
Thanks for the video Dan! informative and enjoyable as always!
Thanks! Great to see you here in the comment section again!
great diag Dan ,great fix as always
Thanks Robert!
HEY DAN THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEOS AND TEACHING US YOUR KNOWLEDGE
Thank you very much Tim
thanks master you are the best!, your welcome to Colombia, latinoamerica!

Bedankt Robert, wat heb jij toch een talenknobbel hè 😁
Yay! DD is back!!!!

I really appreciate your repair quick solution. Thanks
Thank you
Good good good the best diagnosis and fixed the car thanks
Thanks!!
First thing I thought of was it’s going to be a switch in the gear selector 🙈 Cheers Dan love the videos 🤘
Thay means you have the experience!!!💪💪
@@Diagnosedan thank you Dan I’m thinking of starting something up eventually I just need the money. You don’t have to check, but on my channel I’ve diagnosed/repaired electronics for years and have a pretty good mechanical knowledge too 🤟 Your videos and strategies are perfect though, you break it down part by part for what the system is and work out in your head the mechanical/electrical logic behind it all. Honestly Dan thanks so much 😎
@@Diagnosedan in fact I have a video of me repairing my British MG ZR throttle issue haha
Thanks for the video Dan as ever top information and very professional. keep them coming Dan top job as ever .
Thank you!
Great video but the customer could have saved themselves time and money if they just searched this in one of the VW forums. It's a very common fault and easily fixed with the proper repair kit from VW in about 30 mins. There's a very cheap microswitch on the lever that gets covered in crud after a while and needs to be replaced. A temporary fix that normally works is to move the DSG lever back and forth quickly about 40 times that will clear some of the crud and allow you to drive for a while until you get the repair kit delivered. I've done this in two of my Golfs.
1:42, We have to put gas in so many cars at our shop, we started charging them double the cost of the fuel to penalize them for wasting our time, and(or) being lazy. I own the Autel ms908, I love it and have used it for years.
The Fuel light is the most common light we see in our shop 🤣🤣
Dan, enough beating around the bush. We know you’re from the Netherlands. Did you manage to catch the wonderful amazing abu dhabi Grand Prix!?! Pure amazing!!
Yes, i've got no voice left from screaming 😂
Hello 👋, I need help 😅, This is the first video I see in your channel, I love how you explain everything but you didnt say what the product name is 😅 so I can order it from Vw
Nice video Dan! Credit to the first 2 garages for not firing the parts cannon when they didn't understand the problem. Now, what is that beautiful motorcycle in the background.
The bike is my wife"s
Great video Dan. Good advise about getting information. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Great diagnosis again,another great video 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Denis
