DSG DQ400, p2884. Replace or easy fix?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- In this video we diagnose an Audi e-tron with a DSG DQ400 transmission problem. The faultcode stored is p2884 and VW/Audi tells us to replace the mechatronic. But do we need to or can we fix it?

Why you are smelling like transmissions fluid havent you bathed🤣🤫
German engineering has become ridiculous.Only Rube Goldberg would be impressed.
What was the price difference from replacing the whole unit vs just replacing the valve?
Thank you Dan. Was very helpful
The topdon links don't load! Do you mind sending us the model?
Lord, if only all repair shops were as able and honest as Diagnose Dan! It's amazing to me how our transportation system relies on a repair system that is so hit or miss and fraught with ineptitude. It really is a crapshoot to get your car "repaired" these days. It would be magnificent if Dan and others like him could create a school/system of schools to educate pupils on the fine art of diagnosis and repair as a university degree. Now THAT would be a guarantee of a good job anywhere on the planet, and society would benefit hugely.
It would be nice if costumers we not so ignorant and didn't want free shit all the time
Thats why I repair my cars myself. If I mess up it will be my f-up, not someone else's.
No sweat guy!!!
Two or so more generations, and it will all become clear to laymen...😅
@@bleachinurimaybe, but in this case it would be nice if Audi could offer an actual repair instead of saying "just throw the whole unit in there, sure it's only three grand and it's not my money".
And that's why they're called Main Stealers.
We have such a system of training in Australia for apprentices to become Tradesmen but that does not dictate aptitude nor competency nor does it dictate scruples or negate greedy/lazy practices in this industry. The individual desire to be better and do better is subjective and random, there are not enough competent and committed persons with high moral standards to go around it seems, the quick buck and the reluctance to admit fault or lack of knowledge sinks a lot of transactions between workshops and car owners, sadly the standard of business ethics and individuals ethics seems to be waning at the industries and owners lament.
We are happy to support you in this diagnose Dan!
Nice work ATR 👏👏 A fantastic article that was shared
Thanks Sam👍👍
Great work
Typical dealer replace not repair great to see people like you that give us hope of repairing our own vehicles at a fraction of the cost, great video once again Dan looking forward to the next one.
its a lability for a dealership to repair anything except under warranty and is recommend by the manufacturer
@@mrjamrocker7813 And the poor customer gets screwed big time.
Thank you
Thanks, Dan. This is really a scandal. The gasket is defective, the screen falls out, the solenoid becomes plugged and the manufacturer sells a part for €2k to correct the problem. Sounds like a solid basis for a date in court. Thanks for this very understandable and clear explanation of what happens. As always a win.
Also a pretty NL problem, the importer here PON takes over the warranty from VW to get a higher margin (they also swap the conti tires with other brands like nexen). So some defects that are covered by VW Germany outside warranty won't be covered in NL, saw this with EGR and chain issues.The classic PON thing is also you are the "first" with this issue while half the lot is full of cars with the same issue.
Agreed. This needs to be a recall, frankly.
This might be the reason that VW and Audi are telling you to change the mechatronic and dont explain what goes wrong.
@@f0x4nn3we've never seen this before 🤣 sounds familiar
@@jimtaylor431agreed
Dan. You have managed to yet again demistify a very complex set of vehicle systems and break it down into very understandable sections, with solid repair options that can save the customer a lot of money. I love the recap and then the suggestion of the much cheaper preventative gasket change to stop this problem before it starts.
Preventing is better than repairing😉
Unbelievable... the shitty build quality VAG keeps delivering.. You are the man Dan! Love how you fix it without throwing away half the engine.
Gasket part reads "China".... That surely has nothing to do with the problem.
TBH every modern car is pretty sensitive, issue i run in with VW is they actually not take care of their customers when shit happens. Timing chain has worn out at 50.000km and 3 year... sucks to be you here is the bill.
Thanks!!!
@@SerbanCMusca-ut8nyindeed it has nothing to do with China, its up to VAG to do its quality control and no one else.
@@f0x4nn3interval for changing timing chains or belts, doesn't matter, it's relative to the type of driving that you do. So if you mostly drive in cities, with congested traffic, short trips, sporty style of driving, that interval drops. Many problems can be avoided by regular maintenance.
Audi ought to be paying for this .
They usually fail just outside the waranty period 😬
Fantastic once again Dan.
I audit VWG dealerships in Scotland and have referred technicians to your website many times.
I hope you got a beer. Cheers
Thank you! Its appriciated
I own one of these cars, at around 100000km now. Looks like I'll be smelling trans fluid one weekend soon.
Thanks for the detailed video!
Smart choice! 👍👍👍
What a great fix, but I doubt whether even an authorised VAG dealer would bother to go as far, but just replace the mechatronics unit as a whole. Shame, really… Good to see you providing the fix details, Dan and great to see the old fashioned method of pals payments is still going strong! Nice one, Dan! 👏👏👏
I guess its to "risky" and alot can go wrong😊
That should be a recall issue at manufacturer expense. One thing you did not mention is how much is saved by repairing the unit instead of replacing the unit.
On parts, $30 euros vs. $3,000
@@Garth2011The working hours are the same in both cases, aren't they?
@@leiflillandt1488I'd say the repair had more time.
@@leiflillandt1488 You would think a couple of extra hours on the repair would do it.
@@Garth2011 more time and a bit more risk too. If a bit of the failed screen doesn't get cleaned out properly, it could scratch the new solenoid, etc.
You're more likely to run into Bigfoot than a hybrid owner that actually saved money over the long haul vs a standard ICE car. Nice work Dan!
There are many hybrid owners that save money over the long haul. They drive Toyotas. 😉
@@JeroenvanMontfortI know a few Camry Hybrid owners which learned the hard way how expensive Hybrids become once the warranty runs out. Some now drive Teslas.
@@moestrei lol really? I drive a Tesla myself and it has made me question my life's choices more than once. Especially now it's out of warranty...
@DiagnoseDan I just watched this whole video, and I have to say, I absolutely loved it! Your explanation was phenomenal, and I've seen plenty of car-related clips, but yours really stands out. Keep up the amazing work!
My goodness. What a great team effort. Outstanding presentation Dan !
Thanks as always!!!!
Awesome video. This will save a lot of time and money to many technicians.
Outstanding. You explained what goes wrong, why, what to do to repair it and what NOT to do and why. That's the way to teach. Not many people do that. I am learning heaps about electronics also mechatronics, stuff that I shied away from. Well done. Supposedly retired 72 yr old mechanic/machinist in Land Down Under.
Gidday mate! Shoutout from Germany. I love your country. Hope I will be back there some day.
Thanks for your great comment, i'm coming down under 🇳🇿 in April at the AAAA in Melbourne
Great video and fix.I will make an effort to come and say hello at the AAA show.Now retired after 40 years as a transmission shop owner in Melbourne.@@Diagnosedan
@Diagnosedan it's hilarious that the filter screen designed to stop debris entering the solenoid is actually the culprit. I think Audi should be fixing this with a recall, clearly there is a manufacturing defect with that gasket from new, great work as always Dan 😊
Agreed!
Not a manufacturing defect but a design defect. K0 needs a bigger supply of oil, the extra force on the mesh flexes it to the point of fatigue failure. A larger orifice might be the answer.
this is a "problem" for the past 25 years. Passat W8 had this problem at the cam adjusters, S6 V10 had it also at the cam adjusters(just not that often). those sieve´s are there to catch chips left from production after a few miles they are not necessary anymore. so it protects the manufacturer against DOA products and gives the customer the problem at high mileages(hopefully after warranty🙄). the new gasket could´ve been installed without the sieves and it would work just fine. at the Passat W8 you get a new cam adjuster valve and put out the sieves so they dont damage anything. possible chips from production cant be there anymore. oil filter will do the trick now.
So what is the cost differential in both financial and time, between replacing the whole unit as noted by Audi and going through the extra repair and parts steps to replace the solenoid?
I recently purchased a 2020 Skoda Octavia and heard enough horror stories about VAG DSG transmissions to make sure I bought one with a 6-speed manual box. Videos like this make me feel even better about my decision.
Imagine if you could've got a plugin hybrid with a manual!
The DSG is typically very reliable in the standard gasoline/petrol and diesel engines. The biggest failure in these are typically the owner who doesn't maintain it with scheduled fluid changes. However, you made a good choice with the 6-speed. The VAG manual is really nice and there are a ton of options to change the ratio of the gear shift if you want a shorter throw.
Nah, I miss my Octavia 2.0 Petrol with 6 speed DSG ...
You should bought a car with ZF 8HP transmission! Auto and no problems! I recently purchased a 2020 BMW with ZF 8HP box!
Yes, but no, but yes. If you have a DSG especially with the dry clutches i recommend to let reprogram the DSG to shift at higher RPM. The low RPM it already shifts puts quite a lot of extra wear and tear on the clutches.
Other then that it's for sure the most comfy automatic.
DSG has such a stellar reputation for reliability.
🤣🤣
Again, you are the master of the "rings" of diagnose. Much respect!
🤣🤣Thanks!
Thanks Dan. Great job again. Just tells me to never ever buy a hybrid. The extra mileage is not worth the hassle.
In some countries the reason for buying Hybrid or electric is because there are huge tax benefits!!
Not all hybrids are born equal. Think Toyota hybrid system. No gearbox, no turbo, no problem.
glad to hear that there are people out there as 3rd party investigators of common mfg'r defects, and saving the consumer big bucks
Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment its really appreciated 👍👍
This attitude from manufacturers is completely nuts. Cudos Dan for showing how to troubleshoot and how actual mechanics actually CAN repair things - not just swap out parts!
It's how manufacturers make huge amounts of money on spare parts. Anything that goes wrong on a car these days is going to cost a fortune.
Looking at the quality of work of most workshops I have seen, VAG might be correct to suggest to swap the part. There are are probably quite a few things you can do wrong repairing it yourself. Also who knows if the upgraded unit also solves other design flaws…
Thanks for the great comment
@@felixalbionthey make a lot more money on parts than on selling new cars
@@random123name1less that can go wrong indeed.
This is AWESOME👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
This video deserves a Million views, likes & shares👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks for sharing BRO Stay Safe👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Now Audi is going to make it so you can't buy just the solenoid.
Brilliant work Dan, loved the video and all the information in it. A wonderful collab of information sharing from you and ATR 👏👏👏👌
Its great to have a network of great techs to diagnose it together 😊
@@Diagnosedan 🎯🙌💪
Fantastic ! What a waste to throw away such a complicatedly made piece of engineered metal when it could be repaired and reused. Enjoy the beers Sam and Dan !
In the video you can see, that on the gasket is printed China :). And can you order new solenoid and gaskets from VW, or they sell you only whole unit?
Second video I've watched this week where an oil screen had disintegrated and jammed a solenoid. Ivan from Pine hollow Auto Diagnostics had one on a VVT phaser. Great content as always Dan.
Was that also a Vw/Audi?
Ironic that the part supposed to protect the solenoids from debri/failure becomes the source. VWAG creating a source of revenue perhaps ? I mean we can trust them after "Dieselgate" yeah 😀😀😀
Where do i get The solenoid. The vw dont sell it?
Nothing is better than when transmission oil is creeping on your arm under the jacket sleeve into your armpit.
Or maybe diesel is better LOL.
this has to rank amongst the best of your 'super-fixes' .. great job Dan
Thanks!!!👍👍
This is what happens as cars get more and more complex, more faults and difficult to fix.
Dan. You have yet again managed to diagnose and repair a very complex system in a step by step guide, with a recap as well. Such outstanding work as always, explained in such a way that makes it easy to both understand and follow. I love the tip of how to prevent this occurring in the first place. Dan definitely "does it again" Well done sir! 👌🏼
Thanks!!!
Dan thats great information and a brilliant find 👍
Great results and a great repair.
The response from the manufacturers of the vehicles in question seems a bit vague ,is it because they don't want to let people know what the problem is,or is it one of pure
greed and would rather just sell you a new gearbox controller unit????
I understand that the later units are some sort of up grade. But it would appear very short on information!!!!
You’re one of the best technicians in the world, you should be very proud of what you do.
Thank you!
Fantastic information, Dan. I love the repair it than just replace it method and you really break it down in layman terms, easy for anyone to understand!
I like to keep it simple!
FANTASTIC! Super diagnostics. Always fantastic to watch Dan.
Thank you very much
Hi Dan, Great vlog again I just your details diagnose and fitting procedure, as retire master mechanic myself but still oil running in my veins 😂 I also specialise in fault finding back in my day on earliest fuel injection & electronics that was with no test equipment as such until I got my hands on the first Bosch tester very primitive compare today.
Keep up the great work Cheers Irish Paul
Great work Dan. A top class instructional video as usual. Thank you
Thanks!
Dan, I love your Videos, I learn something new, a lot of somethings actually, every time. It's a shame that most diagnosticians are on the east coast of the US, and that you are in the Netherlands. I live on the West Coast (PNW), and it is pretty much parts cannon all over the place. As in "Need Sparkplugs? New Engine"
Its hard to believe there aren't any good shops in your area, i bet there are but you just need to find them
way to go the extra kilometer to get to the bottom of this problem. great diag as always Dan!! love the videos that do deep dives into repairs that can also save $$$. hopefully some day we can do a diagnostic and share a beer TOGETHER!
Thank you very much Mike, i really hope we can do that one day!
Repair, replace and recycle. Always. In that order. The number of DSG units VW (in particular) has junked instead of repaired (with all the wastage that implies) must be in the hundreds of thousands.
I enjoyed your troubleshooting as usual. It is a lot cheaper to repair than to replace the whole thing. I call that a mechanic and not just a part replacement, a mechanic like in the old days. 💪
Not sure how cheap it would be if you pay a garage to do it. The labour charges will still cost a fortune.
In this case it certainly is
@@felixalbionnot cheap but alot less expensive.
The work should be covered by VW under warranty as they are obviously aware of the issue!
Dan, what will the rest of us do without guys like you and others that share their hours of sweet and labour with us?
You'll figure it out yourself eventually it just takes more time😂
Seems like the screen suffers metal fatigue.
Maybe this clutch is operated more frequently or with a larger oil flow than what's going through the other solenoids which makes that screen flex more.
So overall a bit of a questionable design choice here, but it's probably cheap to make a gasket with a built in screen.
Yeah, just exactly why is it that screen that fails and why haven't the manufacturers addressed the issue particularly since it apparently so common?
@@daveturner5305it has been addressed, but of course they aren't going to swap these parts preemtively. Newer transmissions have a more durable gasket/screen.
Should be heaven for proven
alternative manufacturers then.@@kain0m
is there a bulletin for owner to clean the garbage under the windscreen ?
I really appreciate this video,full of share off good information. Thank you for your time.
Dan, Brilliant Fix! So many times the Manufacturers want to change expensive Modules instead of fixing the individual components. That situation is very similar to VVTI Selinoids that get gummed up with neglected oil changes. Sometimes you can clean them an no parts required. Was the oil contaminated in the megatronic to cause extra pressure to make the screen fail? Could it been prevented by changing that oil more often?
There is no contamination on the other screens. I suspect the screen fails because of pulsations in the oil when the solenoid is doing its thing
Hi Dan , can you do something on TPS ( tyre pressure sensor) recalibration with the scanner you have for sale 👍
Amazing diagnosis and tear down. In addition it shows the compounding effect of community knowledge and experience. Dan you are certainly a leader and influencer in your field of work. As usual….DIAGNOSE DAN FIX IT AGAIN!!! And man Audi loves cheap oil screens that break. Geez.
Thank you very much!!!
Top quality information as all way , and merry Christmas to you and you’re family Dan 🎄
Dan, thank you for your time and interest. You are as good to us here on RUclips as you are to the customers whose cars you repair. Even if we are not active in the automotive field, it is nice to see how certain technology works and how defects can be eliminated. Success 🇷🇴
Thanks for the great comment!!!
That's a repair , but what about a permanent fix , that screen is too small for the pressure will fail again
I had a few VWs back in the states with the DSG. Great transmission but it has the potential to be disastrous. And especially most people in the states don’t do the required transmission service since it’s expensive.
You just nailed it. The owner is the worst part of a DSG. So the maintenance and it will last the life of the car and be able to be transplanted into another car. Don't do the maintenance and it is an expensive out of warranty repair.
@@Birdman_in_CLE thanks! I just bought another VW back in Florida (video coming soon) and I avoided the DSG transmission for this very reason! Went with a 2.5L with the regular 6A
"And especially most people in the states don’t do the required transmission service since it’s expensive". This is like not eating because it is expensive.
@@guzziwheeler cars are appliances there. People generally don’t take great care of them. Especially when maintenance is expensive
A very nice investigation Dan and to find the cause without having to buy a new unit .
That's it with manufacturers .O just change that expensive part .
Obviously they have not looked into the failure. Or have they and don't want you to repair it 😮😮
Nice ofvyou to do your own investigations and to publish your findings . 👍👍👍👍
Thanks!!
Outstanding once again Dan, always explained perfectly 👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you very much
You don’t like Sam, Danny? As an gift you bought Heineken for the best man??😉😉. Great video Danny, thank you for uploading!!!
Have a nice evening.
On what way did an engineer feel it's ok to fill through the drain.
my wife's Citroen is the same 🙄
That is quite normal. An overflow tube is an easy way ensure correct oil level. Same on my Mercedes.
Most manual transmissions and rear diffs are filled the same way. Fill until the oil overflows.
@@kain0m Those that I have come across have a fill/level plug in the side ie you fill it to the level of the hole in the side of the gearbox or diff. That is different from the overflow tube in the bottom of this DSG g/box
Dan is the king of European cars! 👑
Thank you
Amazing diagnostic,Sir you are an excellent teacher
Thank you
Somebody GET this man more SUBSCRIBERS...Spread the word make him a household name...😅 He has earned it...and then some!
As for manufacturers who KNOW about issues like this and still don't do what is right...they should be prosecuted. But the law-makers are asleep at the wheel as always. Imagine if they passed a law that forces any manufacturer to provide a MINIMUM 10 YEAR WARANTY on their vehicles... how they would start making cars as good as they used to...or better...oh well, one can dream at least!
Thank you Dan... yet again!
Thanks for your comment!
One if the best diagnosticians out there. Truly the G.O.A.T. I absolutely love the bloopers at the end too. 😅
Thank you!!!!
Amazing job Dan! VAG group should hire Dan as a consultant!
Thanks!!
VAG pays a 'planned obsolescence' consultant, to come up with a little mesh that gets stuck in a solenoid at 100K what will lead to a critical failure.
Why would VAG pay someone who messes up their revenue model.
@@buddy1155 LOL.
The problem you have highlighted Dan should be accepted by the manufacturer as a recall. A relatively easy fix compared to replacing the whole unit at mega cost. The manufacturer needs to save face and accept that the issue falls well below their usual standards of engineering. Thanks Dan for highlighting the issue
In none of their documentation they say anything about the screen failing. Although they certainly know about this. I dont think this is a coincidence
@@Diagnosedan Unfortunately they always choose to save money , they know this issue would be investigated if they mention what fails
But its only a"fix" for another 60,000kms ??.... in my eyes thats not a fix and even a replacement Mechatronic unit is not solving what is in fact a design fault...🤔
@@peterfitzpatrick7032 Dan said that the replacement Mechatronic unit was an upgraded unit by the manufacturer. Presumably the manufacturer has “removed” the initial problem highlighted by Dan. With this in mind possibly the transmission should have a “long and healthy life?” Fingers crossed for the owners of the vehicles
@@ianbates1312 if they "removed" the problem, you would assume the new gasket would not have the screen at that location. But this new gasket did.
Dan, I don't think the customer would mind paying for that case of beer since this fix saved them a lot of money. 😉
Thats an amazing job Dan, i wish main dealers would fix these components , rather than just firing the parts canon. It is better for your wallet, and the environment too.
That's very well explained. Thank you for that! I am starting to get worried since my GTE has 150k. I did all the maintenance at the dealership, but as far as I understand they never change the gearbox oil filter. Maybe that's why this integrated gasket filter fails?

Thanks!!
I have an Injection Molding Machine that had servo valve filters which use to break apart and ruin the servo valve. The actual filter was updated to prevent this failure. Those servo valves are very expensive somewhere between $5000-8000 USD last time I had to replace one. Problem with debris in oil is dirt breads even more dirt. BYW: Heineken is always a good bet solution.
Brilliant video,crumbs why can't Audi,Skoda,VW etc do what you've just done ? And not just say replace the mechatronics.
I find your videos so interesting 👍
So VW group have known about this issue for over 7 years and not issued a revision of their clearly defective design.
VW group no longer reflect the quality of design or manufacturing they were able to build their reputation on during the 1990's.
Thanks for your comment
Excellent explanation as always Dan
Keep up the good work
Dan you fool 🤣New cars are not meant to be fixed or repaired🤣🤣 I was only joking ok, Dan is an EXPERT fixing these newer cars!!
🤣👍
Geniet lekker van het biertje jullie samen .. Deze aflevering weer leerzaam.
Thank you, Dan. This Video has changed my life. ❤❤❤.
Its a pleasure
For a multi billion € industry to come up with shoddy solutions like this and then just blandly say replace the whole unit is nothing short of scandalous. Dan and his team are making the solutions clear and affordable unlike the OE manufacturers who only see a new profit stream!
The auto manufacturers are getting away with murder. Imagine you pay thousands to by a car with a defective part and then you have to pay thousands more to fix that error. They know about this issue, why not recall cars with this part and replace it?
They will fix it when the car is still under warranty. But when the waranty runs out .......
ATSG - transmission service provider needs this bulletin. ATSG also offers vacuum test plate testing with passs fail readings to further diagnose amount of wear.
Yeeez, indeed pretty easy fix very wasteful to replace the whole mechatronic.
Exactly!!
Audi doesn't want you to replace the Megatronic Unit with a new one. Audi wants you to replace the whole car with a new one.
😂😂
Typical why it happens after 100k km’s. Because the factory warranty expires after 100k km’s….
Hi Dan, great video as usual, but why don't you wear gloves when you are draining engine oil?
Superb bit of team work to resolve a common and very expensive problem. My question would be why did the little filter fail? were the DSG oil changes done at the correct intervals etc or is there a design flaw in that filter laminate in the gasket sheet. What's the betting VAG will stop supplying the parts needed - solenoid and gaskets etc as they lose the 2000 euro new control valve sales.. Greta job Dan.. love it. That crate of beer was worth it.
For people owing this car, trade it in before 100k kilometers.😅 Audi thanks you for new business ! Small filter screen in gasket is awful design. There simply should be big filter at intake of electric hydraulic pump, but you can't tell Germans that. Great video Dan, why do all the aftermarket techs have to explain reliability design mistakes?
I just had received this code today! Golf GTE only driven 86000Km :(
Great fix as usual Dan. Such a shame that VW cost owners so much in repairs for an item that costs them a couple of Euro. They should take some responsibility for this.
You are right
