Automatic gearboxes

Automatic gearboxes

We service and repair automatic gearboxes, above all DSG (DQ200, DQ250, DQ380/1, DQ500) in Volkswagen Group cars. We also service other types of automatic gearbox.


Oil changes

We change the oil in automatic gearboxes. We use premium Millers Oils products, which keep the gearbox working properly and extend its life.

On request we can also use the manufacturer's original oil.

Beware of long factory intervals and specifications

Manufacturers often specify unreasonably long gearbox oil change intervals, "lifetime" fills, or no filter changes at all. Based on our experience, we will recommend shorter intervals tailored to your car.


Mechatronics repairs

We diagnose, repair and replace DSG mechatronic units. We deal with typical faults, jerking and incorrect shifting.

⚠️ One set of gears not engaging?

If the gearbox won't engage one set of gears (most often the 7-speed DSG DQ381), the cause is often faulty pressure sensors in the mechatronic unit. We replace them and adapt the gearbox so that shifting works properly again. We have done dozens of these repairs.


Gearbox software upgrades (TCU)

We offer automatic gearbox software upgrades for Volkswagen Group cars to achieve:

  • Less lugging at low revs
  • Faster shifts
  • Better response in manual mode
  • Optimised launch control

For petrol cars we offer gearbox upgrades from APR, see the range here.
For diesel cars we offer our own software from CZK 6,000 incl. VAT.


DSG clutch replacements

We replace clutches in DSG gearboxes, including setup, adaptations and a diagnostic check.

We deal with symptoms such as slipping, vibration, jerking when pulling away or fault messages.
