Mk7 Golf R - Error: workshop! Only leave vehicle in Position P - Repair kit walk through
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- This video describes how to install a gear selector repair kit (3Q0713128) on a Mk7 Golf R (2015).
Note that this issue is commonplace on the VAG platform, and so this fix is likely to work on other types of Golf, VW, Audi, Skoda, Seat etc.
This video will explain what the issue is, and how to fix it.
There are two types of gear selector, and the video will explain how to tell which one yours is.
Their VW part numbers are 3Q0713128 (repair described in video) and 5Q0713128A (install guide here - static.nhtsa.g...)
Links removed - order from VW directly (3Q0713128 and 5Q0713128A)
I accept no responsibility for anything in this video or description
We can supply both versions of these repair kits from stock here at Deutscheparts
Free UK delivery too
This was so useful - you are a legend sir - thank you.
Tip >> I had a few problems putting the cubby back in. The door would not close properly after it was back in. You have to push the cubby in as high as it will gow when refitting it. Put your hand inside the cubby and push up as you slide it in. Then once it's 95% of the way in, you can pop the two clips in at the front on the bottom. reason to push it up is that there are two plastic pegs on the cubby side that locate in a slot in the dash. Easy to miss the slots and have the pegs under it.
Had the same problem. Got a quote for at least €1000 to replace everything. Did ask if there is a other method instead of just replacing and got a NO. I'm glad I found you.
Probably the most concise commentary of any repair I’ve watched .. well done
Thanks mate. Hopefully it’ll help people
I bought this kit for less than 50$ (from second hand but brand new). It took me about 30 minutes to replace. Additionally I had to bought 3 screws for 1$ because seller forgot to pack them. Thanks for sharing.
Great video. This has happened to my S3 and this explains it really well. A great service to the wv/audi community!
Thank you Aaron for the great video, and using your time to help others mate. say's a lot about you
Thank you for your video! I thought the switch had to be changed internally rather than fitting an external replacement.
I’ve just done this to my Mk7.5 Golf.
Thank you
Thanks Aaron! My 2016 Golf GTi PP has had this message for the last six months. Ocassionally would clear for a couple of weeks with the rapid back/forth moving of the shifter, but always returned. Bought the part just in case and fitted today. Took about 40 mins being careful and without removal of all the interior trim except the cubby and a/c control cover. Benefit of not having huge hands I suppose! 😆
You just saves my day, and the following ;)
I had a Passat for at fee weeks where all these not working:
turnsignal, horn, highbeam, adaptive Cruise comtrole, centrallocking..
Error in display said:: error workshop leave vehicle only when selector is in position p..
At first i Think its the steeringwheel control Unit, and allready have booket for replacement at at “local” dealer.
,, but then i came across your video in the middel of the night and now its working, so Thank you :D
Thanks for sharing this video Aaron, I have just started to get the same error message on my 2016 B8 Passat. It appeared almost as soon as I finished replacing the failed clock spring, so not completely certain if it is a related error or the genuine faulty selector module. I am in Australia and getting prepared to tackle the job, Cheers.
Thanks for doing the video, saved me a fortune, was quoted £400 for the part plus vat, then Labour on top, I paid £100 all in.
Perfect mate. VW wanted to do the same with me, it wound me up as I knew it wasn’t correct, hence making the video ha
you just saved me $5K as the dealer wanted to put in a whole new shift assembly to fix this issue
They did with me, hence doing research and making a video :p
thanks for the movie. good job. You will save money of many Golf users 7. Thanks to you I said goodbye to a mistake in my car. Interestingly, in most VAG models, websites claim that the entire selector must be replaced with this fault. in my case it was the same and thanks to the Lord I was able to get rid of the problem in 20 minutes. the central tunnel was not dismantled. 🤝👍Golf 2015 Variant
Thank you. VW told me this wasn’t possible too
Very informative video. Google brought me here after seeing that message pop up on my DSG Skoda Dash.
I'll check to see which switch I have, but thank God for people like you to make our lives simpler.
I did the switch retrofit today on my Octavia VRS. It had the different fix (black version) but was straightforward and had to remove less trims to get to it. Thank again for the info, the data sheet link was a big help!
Where did you get it from, link please?
@@Zupport12 just went to the dealer. Had 1 in stock
They are available online... But they're over priced. Just go to your dealer
I actually came across this while looking for something else, but i'm occasionally having this exact problem on my 2017 dsg diesel. I'll try the quick fix of moving the shifter a good few times first. Really annoying with it constantly beeping as I'm driving. Great video
Have you tried that moving the shifter? What was the result?
@@anupbanerjee3974 Yes I've tried it and for quite a while it worked. Then all of a sudden one day it started continuously beeping again then stopped. It's just happening radomly now so I'm just going to have to get it replaced.
@@jchristie254 Hello Jay, good to hear back from you. I even forgot that I left a comment here. :)
Yes, it worked for me as well. I was scared as hell. But, as you also mentioned, it came back randomly a few times and started beeping for a few seconds. I have a yearly full servicing booked later in August. So, I will see what they figure out then. Good luck with your case.
Thank you Aaron I had this exact fault the other day got the part white top part fitted it no problem fault cleared, then I scanned the car with OB11 and cleared all the faults brilliant 👌
Aaron thank you, You have saved me an extremely expensive visit to Audi. I can confirm the 3Q0713128 part worked perfect on my 2014 Audi A3 2.0 TDI S'Tronic. My centre console removed and replacement part fitted within 20 minutes.
By any chance you made i video you could share? I have a 2016 Audi A3 with the same issue. I have purchased the module (3Q0713128) and the sleeve (8V0713169) but need help/video on how to disassemble and install it on Audi A3.
@@KLASfm89 If you live anywhere Swindon I would be more than happy to help you out. Unfortunately I didn’t make a video but used a video on you tube. How to remove Audi A3 8v centre console and the rest is the same as the vw golf video. The whole centre console lifts up in one price and is extremely easy. ua-cam.com/video/O3I8zfydK1g/v-deo.html
@@leighcurtis9 Awesome! Thanks
Thank you, I had the same problem with my MK7 in Mexico. I decided to got my car to the dealership to repair, and surprisingly it wasn’t as expensive as I was expecting.
Cuanto te costó la reparación?
@@newthepanch hice reparación de varias cosas al mismo tiempo pero de este error fueron aproximadamente $2000 pesos mexicanos en octubre de 2021.
Al menos en mi caso dijeron que era por un micro conmutador que le hacía falta.
Te cobran la pieza en $1300 y por instalarla son aproximadamente $700 porque deben desmontar la palanca y volverla a montar además de la instalación del micro conmutador.
Pero después de eso ya no volvió a aparecer el error.
En mi caso en mi agencia tienen poca atención al detalle y dejaron desconectados los leds de la palanca de cambios, tuve que informarles para que los reconectaran sin costo extra, pero solo para que estes atento de que todo siga funcionando bien.
Thank you Aaron! I had the same problem on Audi s3 8V 2015 and ordered the white version. I fixed it in 30 minutes !!
Massive thanks for this, i had the same issue with my audi a3 2014. Audi and various garages never mentioned anything about this part just said it was a full unit replacement. Fixed in around 20 minutes 👍🏻
😂 BBCC on the radio 👌
Great video... Making people aware of the new fix rather than replacing the whole selector mech
Exactly! gotta love BBCC
It cause more pain to look the video than doing the repair. 😅 Thank you for your guide.
I have this issue with my SEAT ARONA pops up once a week, every time I bring it to the dealership they say that they can not see a problem
Wow. What a star. Thanks! Your initial quick fix has worked (for now). Thanks again 😊
Outstanding video. 2016 Golf TSI. Weather here in Edmonton, Alberta Canada was down to -32 C with wind chill of -45 C. Car was plugged in (but that is not a contributing factor to this issue). Transmission Warning Light came on but would go off after I moved the car back and forth a few times. Shifting was normal throughout all ranges. Then the warning came on to put in Park. Car was still shifting with no problems. I had had the transmission serviced by a VW dealership here earlier this year. First thought was transmission fluid level? I then had the trim replaced that goes around then shift level as part of a recall earlier this year. Thought did they mess up some switch? Also thought some sensor could be an issue. Decided to come to UA-cam and presto! Here's my answer! Will work the shifter back and forth and monitor. Weather is going to warm up to the -15 C range later this week so that may help solve the issue as well. Bottom line? this video answered my question of "IS THE CAR SAFE TO DRIVE" Yes....is the answer. The video gave a quick fix solution that could be tried. It also gave a step by step process of how to replace the part and a heads up as to two different parts. Finally looking through the question the responses gave how much time to complete (without making the video = 1 hour shop time) and cost (in EU or Pounds but easy enough to convert) which gives this Canuck an idea of how much the job would cost if I have the dealership do the job. Again thank you Aaron for taking the time to make this video. Cheers.
Love to say I'm confident enough to carry this out but I'm absolutely not 🙈 Happy to pay you to though Aaron if it's of any interest?! I'm midlands based but happy to travel. Top video mate - The world needs more people like this chap!
I'm not a mechanic mate. If you can get to Bolton you could try Shak from Lowndes Street Garage. And thanks :)
Aaron many thanks another MK7 R owners bank account saved. Great video 👍
Mine says: Error:Workshop! Only leave vehicle in position P. Only happens sometimes, seamingly randomly.
Gone in today under used warranty, fingers crossed!
In the meantime there's a fixing kit with an extra microswitch. You just have to disconnect 2 wires and connect them to the new switch. No disassembling necessary, only need to remove the top plate of the gear. Available for the white and black version! VW/Audi knows this under the TPI 2056031/2
Tell me you've not watched the video without saying it 🤣
Thanks to this video I managed to replace the piggy back switch and saved £300 labour from VW
Glad to be of help
Just bought a 2016 golf tdi last night and left the showroom and this message came on within an hour 🙈
Thanks for doing this video. It inspired me to repair my fault. I had the black plastic version. Installation is a little different though. The fixing is a single screw from the side and the easiest way to install was to drill a hole under the side cover to line up the screwdriver. Wish I filmed it now and posted it for others. A great fix.
Thanks - good to know the other one is easy too
Did the message stop popping up after you installed the part?
I a friend of mine that owns a VW repair shop replaced it for me but the message is still popping up
@@juiceee143 yes the part resolved the issue. The message stopped coming up after.
Did you manage to fix it? Was it another problem? I also have this problem, installed the part, but still same error
@@jiewrev - Yes. The installation of the part worked and the error never came back. Sorry to hear it didn't work on yours.
I've been looking for a place to buy this part for more than a year. Where I am VW want thousands to replace the entire shifter out of warranty. Appreciate the links and a good video tutorial.
Hey Aaron, cheers for posting this guide and going bit by bit with how to address it. Very informative and helpful. My car is Seat Leon FR ST 16 plate so I guess will need slightly different approach but hopefully similar part. First though I will try to work with lever first as error pops irregularly. 😅
hope it worked out
@@AaronWhiffinHey Aaron, getting worried now, I have black casing so ordered real black switch from VW & fitted it correctly as far as am concerned, but still getting fault error on the dash. Work shop error P etc. I’ve noticed when I open the car 1st thing in the morning, most times ding error pops up on dash even before key is in ignition. The triangle goes away 10 secs later then couple mins late pops up again even when driving, can stay on fir good few mins then disappears again, any other known faults that could cause this
@@game4alaughman no idea mate, sorry
@@AaronWhiffin 😥😥
Legend, thanks heap for the video. My car just ran out of warranty. 😁
Just did this on my clubsport, very helpful thankyou. Managed to do it without removing centre console
you anywhere near birmingham? fancy doing it to my clubsport if i get the part plus some cash your way?
How did you do it with centre console removal mate? I’m about to tackle ours this weekend
Thanks
Thanks for doing this Aaron, I haven’t had this problem yet but if/when I do I’ll know where to look 👍🏼
Nice one. I've been ignoring this fault for a while but looks like a pretty easy fix. Thanks for taking the time to make the video
Thanks Aaron - did this today. No more DINGS and warnings
That was a fantastic video thank you, I’ve got a Skoda Octavia elegance estate, and it looks like it’s very similar so I will send it back to the garage. I bought it from Ann since I will do it under warranty. If not I know it’s not going to be a massive issue.
Very good video mate! I've recently been getting this fault about once a week on my Mk7 GTI. Gonna try first to move the gear selector backwards and forwards a few times and see if that sorts it out. Otherwise I'll have this video handy to do the repair.
Thanks for your video bud, just fixed mine 40 mins start to finish.
Video made the job simple.
Good work.
Thanks for the video....the black one went on my Polo GTi 6C 2016..Thank you save my $500.
Cheers. My car did throw this error code the other day. Now I know what I need to do. Thanks
Great stuf! And well explained, thank you sir. I have a friend wich need a support for this issue hope it will resolve ..
Your Video helped a lot. Was able to put the part in myself and error message is gone.
Top top video, just done this to my mk7 golf r and it took me 45minutes and im a novice when it comes to these things. Cheers bro I hope this video helps even more people out there and not get ripped off by main dealer for a whole new shifter
Glad to be of help!
Do you have the link for the part
@@subby8139 Not any more mate. Take the number (one of two) and go to VW/Audi
@@AaronWhiffin I have a mk7 golf r 2015 do you know which one the correct one would be?
@@subby8139 varies - watch the video and it'll tell you how to find out :p
Great video - helped fix my Golf SV - many thanks
Many thanks @Aaron Whiffin for sharing this, That ca 50 times gear stick backwards and forwards move you mention (to clear to ). What positions do you move it between P-to N or P-to D/S? I guess no difference whatsoever - correct me if I am wrong here, please.
Either - I did P-D
Great video, but reading the technical service bulletin from Audi I think you were actually supposed to remove the locking pin from the new switch as the very last step: "Carefully remove the locking pin from the microswitch module making sure you do not drop it into the open shift gate. Save the locking pin until the repair is complete as it may be needed for readjustment."
Interesting, but when it's removed it seems to move around
@@AaronWhiffin I just applied this fix to my 2016 Audi A3 and I didn't move around for me after removing the pin
@@klausabio Ah well - no idea then
Yes I removed the pin from mine too, all working fine. Great vid, inspired me to do this.
@@stubbly4681 hi. Just installed this white fix set and having the same question about locking pin because I have found removal instruction in Audi bulletin too... I removed but day after new repair piece did not realized selected P. So I opened surrounding of lever again and pushed blue pin several times... it started operating well again. Seems like sporadic failure.. Don't you have same experience? Can this be linked to locking pin?
Just had the same problem on my s3, great video and advice 'if I drop a screw in here, I'm f****' lol
I would have been f**ked :p
Same problem since 2018. thank you for that.
Top video bro !!! Massive help cheers. Mine was on Audi A3 but exactly the same setup apart from trim
Thank god for this video my heart sunk mine was what this video stated cheers mate and UA-cam sometimes you are a life saver
Hi buddy, I have a similar problem in my Audi a3, “Electronic fault. Shift to P before leaving vehicle. Please contact workshop.” It only pops up when I move off. Its always when the car shifts from 1st to 2nd gear. If I stay stationary with the engine running it will never pop up. Only when I move away. Drives fine just annoying. Is that gunna be it you reckon? It’s intermittent as well so sometimes I don’t have the fault for days and then it comes back.
Any update ?
Thanks for the vid. Won’t work on a dsg 6 Seat Leon Cupra 290 2017, which has the white base, but not this special part. I’ll take it to Seat service and keep you posted then.
So you had to order a different part? I just got this problem on my Cupra 290…:/
Really ? I have the same problem in Cupra 290 2016. It appears only from time to time, but I'd like to solve it however l'd would really like to avoid changing the whole "unit".
U guys still have it?
Did you try using the same white part on your dq250 6spd gearbox? I have a 2016 pfl Seat cupra 290 and I also have been seeing the same error on my dash. Pretty sure this white part is for the this same gearbox. Did you get it sorted in the end? And if so how? TIA
@@ludvigj6130did you get yours sorted? Also which part pls?
is there anyway just to code out the error, just not to pop up in dashboard. To disable this notification?
Would this work for VW Polo 2018 DSG? It also has white cover just like the one in the video (not the black one). I cannot find any info about VW Polo.
If it’s the same then I’d say so
Hey mate thanks so much for this video. You mention that you did the back and forth motion 100 times and it fixed yours for 9 months or so. When the issue came back, did you try doing 100 times back and forth again? Would that just keep fixing it every 9 months or so? Thanks heaps.
I did . Stopped working after a while, hence need for a proper fix
@Aaron Whiffin hi.... just had this error on my golf r... where did you get the kit from
Thanks
I have google searched the part numbers and unfortunately nothing has come up, could you post a link to your supplier in the UK please?
Volkswagen mate. Walked in to my local one and went to the parts department
I have the black gear selector, I ordered part placed it error still active. Tried deleting with diagnostic tool..error wont go away. Any idea what to do?
Have you adjusted it correctly? My guess is that it’s not installed right
Yes, even if i press the microswitch manually the error stays active. Even if i press the gear selector with my hand against the microswitch..
@@barta9504 could be faulty switch or lose connection . Otherwise no idea
Resolved?
Do you reckon this issue would fail an MOT if it was active on the dash at the time of check?
Cheers for the video.
Seriously good video, I don't have the issue but out of warranty so great to know it's an easy fix
Maybe landscape next time 😋
Glad to help mate. And yeah didn't think of landscape. The video wasn't originally going to be for UA-cam
@@AaronWhiffin just contacted Shak on messenger as I can't see the kit on his site? I don't have the issue but just fitted a new shifter knob and saw I have exact same setup as you so might as well fit the workaround before it becomes an issue 👍
Thank you so much .... first attempt worked
#JHB
I think the pin is only in there for the installation process, you have it in then push the switch all the way against the gear selector and then screw it down, then you pull the pin out. There is a spring in there that allows the switch to move back in the opposite direction.
I dont have a manual though - just looking at the part today while installing it myself on a Seat Leon
Did it fix ur leon I got a 184 St with the exact same issue. Thanks and if u have any tips on removing trim would b helpful thanks again
Iv had this same error appear on my 2019 polo gti, it goes away as soon as I start driving is the car still safe to drive it won't randomly decide its in reverse and smash my gearbox to peices will it
@@zhh359 yes it fixed it you have to remove the trim around the stick shifter and the panel in the passenger footwell. The connector is hard to reach its very low in the front of the shifter if you lie in the passenger footwell you can see a bit of it. I have a few pictures but UA-cam deletes Comments with links in it
@@danielschmitz549 thanks how long did it take 2 do roughly
Had it done under warranty, they put a new shifter in and micro switch plus updated the software.
How much did it cost ypu? Cheers
@@tektooonik free, under warranty. I heard the cost of that job could have been up to 1K.
I did replace the shifter with the same part number and the message still poping up, any help?
Aaarghhh are you being serious I don’t want to do it and my problem ain’t gone tbh it’s only started yesterday
I also changed it and the message is still there. The guy who changed it for me workd at VW so he knows what he is doing but he doesnt know why the message is still popping up
Just installed this myself, but like you message is still there. Did you ever fix it?
Is It posible for you to upload the service manual you got for the Audi? Mine Is a Audi A3 8v and i got the same issue, thank you
Good man, well laid out video with clear instructions, thank you! Do you remember roughly how much the repair kit from VW was?
£81 I think mate. The alternative one cheaper slightly
It happens on my father’s MK7 Golf and it’s getting more frequent. Shifting lever 10-15 times didn’t do the trick. I thought it was the exact same message he saw but now he tells me he can’t take his key out when in N or D. So I’m just wondering if it could be something else. He said keeping Auto start/stop on stopped it from happening for a while. He can’t exactly remember the message now and when it happens it just disappears too quickly to read.
Simply connect interface for instance obd11 and read error codes. It'll tells you what the problem is. Many people try to recognize problem based only on console messages. Plug computer which will tell you truth.
powie tobie
Thank for sharing, I have a 2016 Audi A3 with the same issue.
How much did you pay for the repair?
@@alikara3662 I paid $100USD to have it repaired. DIY, it's a simple job after watching it being done on my car, i realized i was about to lose $100 easily.
Thank you so much, Aaron! How long did it take in total? I have the same problem with my 2016 Touran, 3 months after the extended warranty has expired.
1.5 hours but was making the video. It'll take about an hour without
I have P0820 on vcds and PRND disappeared from the cluster they won't show up the golf 6 drives fine and dsg gear shifts smooth all gears do u think it's the micro switch?
No idea - but sounds different
I have a skoda 2020 and got this error, the main issue its that I cant lock the doors, anyone knows how to at least lock the doors?
Do the fix and reassess? Needs to be done anyway
Actually after a ride the error dissapeared and everything it's normal 🤔
Great video mate. I got a Seat Ibiza which comes with the exacly same setup and warning screen/indicator as your VW. So does this method still applies?
Yes
Oh, Thanksssssss for your infomation, sir.
Could I ask one thing that false message is stated in driving or parking?
I wonder if that message in driving, why that part will be fixed on gearbox 'P position' sides.
Usually when you start moving. I assume it's because it will send the ECU a 'P' when you're not in park, and it knows you're not in 'P' because you're moving.
You also asked for part numbers, but I can't see the comment any more. They are in the video description above (two types) and yes I believe it'll work for Audi and most VAG cars
Hola con ese mensaje se puede seguir circulando no se estropea nada de la caja de cambios ? supongo que no ya que se trata de un senson mi coche es un leon cupra 2015
Do you know if this solution is possible for vw passat b7 year 2011?
Hi great video, are you able to explain why u took the pin out of the part and if it needs to go back in or not.. Thanks
To allow you do adjust the position, and yes put it back
Thank you so much, Sir!
Is a DSG Q250 ? Because i want order one and i want to be sure . Thanks !
Hi and thank you for that video. I did get my microswitch today. I have already installed it. It took me only just 20min. I have the same DSG. Two questions, the little metal Pin is only for adjustment. So it dont belong there if finished. This is what the installation guide says... Second question, did you have Poblems with your key after driving - put it in P - engine off. Sometimes my key is locked in the keyhole. I have to start the engine again - P to Reverse and back to P and then i can get my key out... Its very weired... Did you also have some weired problems with the new microswitch?
Could be right about the pin, but worked for me. All fine after until I sold car
😂 okay. Thanks anyway.
hello I have same problem, I installed the white switch, and now my key is locked when I stop my engine. I have to do same procedure as you to unlock my key. Have you found problem ? regards.
Hi Aaron, I did this with my Audi A3 and it seems to have done the trick to get rid of the warning on the dash. However when I run a search with an obd tool, I am given the below errors now which weren't present before.
UO103 - Lost Communication With Gear Shift Control Module "A"
10632 and 10763 transmission faults
32833 abs and 32837 - HV Electronics Coolant Pump Control, Short to GND
When running a google search, I'm guessing it's because the microswitch is now in play and the original sensor isn't accessible anymore so that might be it
I have no warnings on the dash so I will try clear the errors via obd and see if they pop up again.
Any insight from yourself?
No idea mate. Did you clear the codes before the scan? The coolant and abs ones aren’t related
@@AaronWhiffin cleared now and nothing has popped up since. The faults would have stored in the memory while I installed the microswitch as I unplugged the parking break button when getting access. But since clearing - nothing. Thanks a lot.
@@ahmadravat8 perfect then!!! Top job :) glad it’s worked mate
Did the thing when u move the selector. And it cleared the fault ✨
Cool - it will do, but won't last forever
Does this error don't let you lock down the doors ? I'm having that issue
Nope - that's separate
Hi Aaron. I have the same issue and it’s getting sorted under warranty on my mk7 golf R. My car is remapped. Do you know if they will reset the ecu during the fix (wiping the remap) or is it just replacing the part? I have had the map wiped once already when they installed the new ACC radar! Cheers
They shouldn’t, but they also shouldn’t have when doing the ACC radar lol. No coding needed for the microswitch
Cheers Aaron 👍
Hi, i have this issue with a T6.1 transporter. Do you offer advice at all for what part i need or do you fix this as a service?

There must be the white collar bit as that effectively holds the button that the gearstick presses against, what part no you order?
Big thanks for the video mate!
I have a golf r mk7 flashes “transmission error” when I was driving today. Is this method can fix the issues ? Thanks
Probably not
can you tell me what the name is of all the product do u use. i cant find them!
Is the color matter or not?
Hi Aaron, i get this message often on my Skoda rapid, My question is it safe to drive without fixing the problem will it create other problems in the future?
Thank you
Yes safe. Should say what it’s fit in the video ;)
Thanks for this video :) are you able to advise the person in the North who can fit these?
Not any more mate, sorry
Do you think spraying contact cleaner might help as well?
No, you can’t get to original switch
Does this repair automatically get rid of the error message or does a system reset or error code wipe need to happen?
My GF's car does it. She says the repair has been done but the error message still pops up every now and then.
Cheers
Gets rid of it. If she's still getting the message then it's not been done properly.

Does moving shifter up and down cure it ? Mines been on off for a few days then on again for literally seconds car seems to drive fine no stiffness in gear selection
It can do temporarily. The gear selection wouldn't be stiff, why would it

Hi Aaron,I got same error on Passat B8. Is the repair process the same as for Golf?
At my local dealership, they told me it's the steering module/processor ( about £300, just for part)
