Cupra 280 DSG Gearbox warning message

[mc-obesity]

Alright people...

Had a minor heart attack today.. popped into the corner shop today and when i got back in the Cupra and started it up, it beeped at me quite aggressively with a warning something along the lines of "Gearbox Issue, go to workshop immediately"

That wasn't the exact wording but i panic, turned it off then back on straight away and the message/warning disappeared?

I restarted the car a few more times later on and it didn't come back up. You think ill be alright? Any ideas what it could be???

Ive only had it 4 days :O

Straight back to dealer.

Don't worry.

There is a TPI for that.

There is only a connectivity failure, so your garage will change the DSG gear selector lever. I had this, too. Mine selector would be changed on friday.

Still better get it booked in for fix.

Took in today...
They have never seen the problem before apparently
But it does look like that gear selector thing
Gave me a courtesy leon to drive (with no fuel at all)
Need to order a part so I'll get an update tomorrow.

sucks

 

[Crafoo]

Standard where courtesy cars are concerned.

I'm sure I've seen this on the R forum MK7 forum recently, you're not alone.

 

[mc-obesity]

Well... They say they have had to order a part but its on back order and have no idea when they will get it.

Does anyone know how long im probably looking at? Days or Weeks?

Class start to my Seat experience

Half of Spain seem to go on their jollys for the summer so probably 8-10 weeks

Well I bloody hope not! They can have it back if its going to take that long...

 

[bluenose172]

It's ridiculous tbh mate, I've rejected a new car before for a lot less than that.

 

[mc-obesity]

I've sent a little email to seat customer care... I'll see what they come back with then I'll go from there.

Worst part was that they had this exact Cupra next to mine..

 

[meich]

Its only a electrical connectivity/communication error. Your garage will change the gear selector, like mine. Since changing, the was no error anymore

Yeah but this "gear selector" part could take "any amount of time" to come...

How long did it take to get yours sorted? And did they let you continue to drive the car?

 

[meich]

Yes - i was able and allowed to drive the car untill the exchange. They only cleaned the error-memory and ordered the new selector. It was a waiting time about two weeks, because the new selector came from Martorell, SEAT spain.

 

[mc-obesity]

Ahh man lucky you...
They won't let me drive my car which sucks!

 

[meich]

You have my sympathy, mate!

How many error messages you have had in which period? Did you called or mailed the SEAT customer-hotline? Did you have a SEAT mobility warranty?

I got it twice within a week when starting the car (not while driving) but turning it off and on again removed the message..
I just rang the seat guy that dropped it off to me and he told me to bring it in.
I've emailed seat customer care who are looking into it and should have a update tomorrow so I'll mention that they let you drive yours ha
I've got a courtesy car at the moment but it's just not the same as a Cupra ha

Thanks for the help by the way!

 

[meich]

Yes, i'd had the same like you. Starting the car -> Error. Sometimes starting the car, selected R or D... ERROR.

I was at two different SEAT garages, the first one cleaned the memory, and shrugged his shoulders - the second one even killed the error-memory, but ordered the new gear selector (i hope it's the right name )

Call them, that SEAT Germany had no concerns and let his customer drive on. I know a much drivers with this error - everybody had the same situation like me. No one was a pedestrian at this time.

Well they definitely won't let me drive it...
But my ranting to seat customer service seems to have paid off, part is there or delivered tomorrow and they are going to fit it ASAP. They say Monday at the latest.
Thank god it isn't gunna be weeks :|
