Great Car Engine. But let down by Emission Problems Scandal, and The DSG DQ200 7 Speed Dry Clutch.

Great Car Engine. VW Golf Mk 6 1.6 TDI 2011 at 94000 miles
But let down by Emission Problems Scandal, and The DSG DQ200 7 Speed Dry Clutch.
The Gear Selector display next to the Clock Symbol has just now become to display a
Flashing Spanner with whatever Gear is selected.
Repair Required Replace Twin Clutch and Repair the Mechatronic.
After Repairing the Clutch And Mechatronic unit you will be looking at a bill of around £2500.
