DQ250 & DQ380 DSG / S-Tronic Gearbox Repair Specialists in Melton Mowbray

Driven Automotive specialises in the diagnosis and repair of DQ250 and DQ380 DSG and S-Tronic gearboxes fitted to VAG Group vehicles, including DQ380 transmissions from 2015 onwards.

These sophisticated dual-clutch transmissions can develop mechatronic, sensor and gear-selection faults, causing anything from poor shifting to a complete loss of drive. Our experienced technicians use advanced diagnostic equipment to identify the cause of the problem and recommend the appropriate repair.

Common DQ380 Fault Codes

We can diagnose and repair DQ380 problems associated with:

  • P1735 00 – Position sensor for clutch 1: electrical malfunction
  • P1736 00 – Position sensor for clutch 2: electrical malfunction

These faults are commonly associated with internal position-sensor or mechatronic problems and should be professionally diagnosed before components are replaced.

Common DQ250 and DQ380 Gearbox Symptoms

Your vehicle may require specialist attention if you experience:

  • Jerking or shuddering when pulling away
  • Delayed, harsh or unpredictable gear changes
  • Transmission warning messages
  • The gearbox entering limp or safe mode, particularly when hot
  • Failure to engage odd or even gears
  • Complete loss of drive
  • No response when selecting Drive or Reverse

Continuing to drive with these symptoms may cause further gearbox damage. We recommend arranging an assessment as soon as possible.
