I’m a Bristol lad, found these guys as Audi repair would have broke the bank. Milta had my motor nearly 2 weeks but never gave up till they fixed it.
Diagnosis was spot on £2.4k for both clutches mechatronic rebuild and multiply issues with the solenoids and software but the bill stayed as original quote . Also worth mentioning free diagnostic if you can get your motor to them
"Owen's (spelling?) already deep in here now" my thoughts are with him. Great video cheers.
Awesome to see you working with other folk getting cars repaired/fixed and rolling again.
Good to see the old girl back on the road!
Great to see this one back! I’m gonna be trying to replicate this build slowly, pick mine up Saturday, I’ll be booking in with yourselves November time I reckon (I’ve only been saying I’ll come up for 6months now) hopefully I have no issues but it had some 101k 🤷🏻♂️
Great video 👍 thanks for being so open regarding the costs to have the mechatronic unit fixed. Didn't know it was so expensive 😮.
Good to see it fixed
Ah you took it to the Polish dsg guys, must be pretty good I,ve dropped a few broken dsg cars there.
OMG A5 video finally!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🎉🎉😂
Nostrils are on point, don’t let anyone tell you any differently
Lol
The weird jelly stuff, could that be something like the Magic Gel that Ray Tec makes used for IP rating electronics?
Maybe!
Love the content Ryan as always can't wait to see what ye are going to do with them tt's
Bought a 2013 Audi A5 (3.0 TDI / S-Tronic) with just 69,000 miles in March 2021. Car had two gearbox services with OEM oil at that point and drove fine.
2 months later it ranked as the most depressing ordeal of my life. I live in Ireland and had Audi themselves do the repair kit (didn't work for me), had the clutches/flywheel replaced and even had the solenoids individually replaced (all of them!)
Almost 5,000 Euros later, it's still shifting poorly and jolts on coming to a stop. Selling the car this week at a major loss and one of the most upsetting periods of my life with a car.
Borg Warner completely and utterly fucked this gearbox design up. No two ways about it.
Have my eye on a nice manual Toyota next!
Bad times! Speed sensor?
@@DarksideDevelopments The sensor (G676 off the top of my head, probably wrong) will throw up a TCU code at the very least or a gearbox malfunction error. Mine's never ever had a TCU/ECU fault logged. I've run VCDS on it myself numerous times, never a fault.
Yet, it's driving like a bag of nails so it would seem something is off with the solenoids but they're new, properly adapted (as per Audi's procedure) and still terrible.
I'm afraid my car is one of those nightmare ones where even Milta would struggle to keep it cheap to fix! (cheap being relative of course)
Maybe call them? We had one with a speed sensor issue, no faults. Swapped it and all good.
What a fucking ball ache mate , I was considering buying one of these A5's with the Stronic box but after doing a lot of reading I've decided will either go with the old torque converter ZF box coupe / ZF BiTDI or try and hunt out a manual sportback
Good video!, did they repair the one you had or supply another unit?
Swapped
Im glad I have the manual gearbox of this car
Complex work, just what I like when I have everything I need to do it 😅
I don't know if some company from China could manufacture a flex/ribbon cable just like that with the right spec, maybe worth taking a punt. Tough work to solder it still, microscope and soldering gun...
That’s was one hell of a free plug for zero discount 🤣 you’re too kind!
Should be charging thousands, haha
Delighted to see the wolf back shifting gears the way it should again.
Would you recommend a manual gearbox in one of these for fast road /track use are they strong enough?
Manual seems easier on the pocket!
@@DarksideDevelopments Thanks Ryan
What would you go for manual/dsg?
Manual for track is safer I think
Ryt then 👊🏻
Didn't the humble mechanic just have a s4 with this same issue on his video with shop day? They changed clutch pack and it didn't fix it =/
The clutch pack wasn't new, it was from the old transmission
@@mrD66M oh your right
they also change the wiring and that didnt fix it
Hey guys! What's your opinion on the GTD1752VRK? Doesnt a ball bearing turbo need water cooling becouse the lack of oil?
I want to do like an oem+ type of build, but fearing the lack of water cooling destroying the turbo
We sell them, good turbo for 1.6 engine
@@DarksideDevelopments thank you for your answer, love the content you guys are making
On which gears you guys had slippage? Mine slips on 3 5 7 and it would be sad, if i would pull out clutch and apparently it’s mechatronics issue..
ours was the same, the odd gears 3 5 7
early gang 5:36 in the US
Did the clutch slip end with mechatronics repair? I have the same problem in my own Audi a6, i am switching to new mechatronics for it.
Yes pretty much!
@@DarksideDevelopments okay, good to know 👍🏼. Thanks for answering
On a side note, would the V8 fit into an A5?
Without a radiator maybe
Do you guys repair the Mechatronics units on the Skoda Fabia VRS's? I have one thats failing.
We don't do the repairs!
Take it to Milta, Bristol, very good, run by a Polish guy. The waiting room is a sight to behold.
Maybe it's just me but you looked a tad salty when saying that they didn't give you any discount,you did mention it twice.....😉😂
Lol, you never know what's making the final cut!
Hey guys, unerlated to this particular video I have a question: I am looking to buy a Skoda with a 1.9L engine dirt cheap to thrash it arround and slightly modify it. Are the ones with the Bosch Direct Injection as reliable and tunable as the PD ones? Can anyone give me a pointer to a diesel tuning related discord, forum or reddit where I can educate myself further on the subject?
Drop us an email :)
Do you have the part# for the output shaft air dam??
Email us ;)
make sure you have extended warranty when buying a audi
Can’t see a link to the gearbox place.
The company we used was Milta Technology in Bristol or there is Mackies Transmissions in Scotland depending where you are in the country
These new modern gearboxes scares the crap out of me
5 or 6 speed manual ftw :]
Every modern automatic from every vehicle brand has a complex valve body (VAG just calls it a mechatronics). Don't know (or care) if a CVT has one.
ZF's gearboxes are the way to go. Audi dumped the S-Tronic in the newer models because it's a heap of shit.
Was the mechatronic unit new
Refurbished
Are the s tronic good or bad?
Up to a point, we seem to have clutch issues after 400hp roughly.
@@DarksideDevelopments so keeping stock should do 150k no problems? Would you recommend an extended warranty on one? I'm buying a 2012 245hp with 100k miles Thanks for the reply I really appreciate that.
Stock will be OK
Reyt then
Reit then.
turns out that if a jobs worth doing, its a job worth paying someone else to do it for you.
🙏🏻👍🏻☕️brill
The original mechatronics were damaged when trying to force it back in when the gear selectors were not aligned correctly. DOH ! i hope you did not ad this Extra Expense to the customers bill ! The reason the firstly repaired mechatronics would not work on the vehicle is because it was not programmed to the vehicle using it's Vin Number. DOH !
This was our car and you are incorrect on both counts :)
