I have a DQ200 DSG SKODA 2016. Only code came up is P17BF00. Mechanic is sorting out the mectronic but now saying the TCM is gone to. I have no symptoms and it drives and changes gears perfectly. Only problem it lights up and says gearbox error once a day if that. What do you think? As now it’s costing me £1400 as originally was £800.
Have an A3, and tried to get it fixed at dealer because of the recall, guess what, my VIN number is not one of the one listed on the Audi recall list. They are a pack of a..holes, they have tens of thousands of these they need to replace and all they are doing is putting the same casting back in, changing the software to drop the pressure from 70 to 50 bar. Anyway, I replaced using the Kinergo unit. I did it with the mech still in the car...super simple. Took me around 4 hrs with basic tools. I recon I can now do it in 2. Thanks to clever ppl like Kinergo, we need more people like that to help us little guys, when big corporate dicks don't want to come to the party. Have a nice day :)
I had the recall done on my car a year and a half ago, and today I had this code. When I scanned it with VCDS I found out that the pressure is 40bar. I believe the casing in my case is cracked and it will get worse. The recall did not remediate the issue. I plan on taking my car to VW and see what they are going to say about this.
Are you able to tell how to go about reducing the pressure in the mechatronics unit in order to open up thew transmission? I note you did at home - I would like to try as well. Any special advice? Cheers, from New Zealand
Hey there, the mech was losing pressure at the time, so when I opened things up, there was no pressure in the accumulator. I can't believe its been 4 years. Car is still going strong, missus is happy and that is the main thing (of course)! I can't advise re pressure, but changing it was easy...IMHO. Best of luck.
How to release the pressure inside the pressure accumulator if an attempt to replace is made while the gearbox is still attached on the car? Is draining the oil and disconnecting the battery enough to safely open the gearbox oil pan and unscrew the pressure accumulator?
Hello ! I recently had my gear selector on the dashboard flashing with a spanner sign. So, after having the car diagnosed, it came up with this P17BF fault code ! Do you reckon this has to do with the accumulator housing being cracked , or could it be something else ? Appreciate if you could please let me know. Thanks
@@FourRingsAuto Hi I have a question if you can help I will be very grateful are you have to drain oil from mechanical part of greabox first and then remove mechatronik or is ok to just remove mechatronik
@@stanwes4740 you should drain the oil from the gearbox first. The oil will come out when you remove the mechatronics, but you need to drain the gearbox to get all of it out. There is no level plug or dipstick for the gearbox, so you need to get all of it out so that you can refill with the correct quantity.
My Audi A3 2009 1.4t got this P17BF with exceeding and not enough pressure, and P0841 transmisor 1...and had a small leak in the upper top where oil is filing...no fails at all but I guess no too late to have big issues...it could be just the seals? Thanks
I have another video on my channel of one of these mechatronic units leaking oil out the top breather. If yours is doing the same it is the Mechatronics that is the cause of your problem. The accumulator inside breaks.
@@FourRingsAuto thanks for your support...i just open the mechatronic and nothing broken...i realized that in the history report first showed up a problem with the pumb..so I bought in eBay and waiting for arrive...I'll post if it's was the problem...thanks and great your videos.

Shudder is usually a clutch issue. They are known to shudder on inclines in 2nd gear mainly. When pulling away and the transmission shifts you can often feel it.
@@FourRingsAuto thanks! would you you call this as manufacturer defects related to pressure accumulator? i am in the process of making claim to audi Aus now..
Thanks for your video mate, explains a lot. I ran a check on VW site and it tells me to take it to a dealer/service center. i live in Sydney and just bought this car last week so I'm not sure which service center to take it to to get the recall work done "Correctly". Any suggestions as to which service center is better/reliable? i presume recalls can not be done by specialists outside of the dealer/service centers right?
Dealer only for recalls. Sorry I'm in Perth so don't know the go in Sydney. You could try ringing a few independent specialists and seeing who they'd recommend. Try volksmuller.
Hey Nick. I wonder if you did take it to the dealer later on? I’ve got a recall letter from Skoda(mine is also dq200) and going to take it in to the dealership in Geelong, even know I live in Melbourne, they have a lot of other dealerships there in one place, including the Audi so I think they have proper mechanics. Just wondering what did they replace on your VW?

Hi I’ve got a hydraulic pump anti play fault on my Skoda superb 2011 took it in for the recall and they didn’t change the high pressure accumulator as they said it looked fine and are telling me I need a whole new mechatronics. Any help would be appreciated could it be the pump or the valve body?
@@Jason-hz5zc mine is fixed I put a second hand valve body on the mechatronics unit. It was losing a small amount of pressure but wasn’t the pump or the high pressure accumulator as this was all tested.
