Fabia VRS MK II DSG Gearbox failure

[FBTK]

Can anyone offer me any advice please? Recently bought a Fabia VRS Mk 2, CTHE engine code and two days ago it was driving fine, I turned the engine off to go to the shop for a moment and upon my return, the car wouldn’t go into gear! Whether in D, S or R, the car wouldn’t move and on the maxidot, a spanner would appear where the gear should be.

 

 Called AA and it was taken to a gearbox specialist who have since told me that gearbox had failed and quoted me £3640 for a reconditioned gearbox, replacement dual mass flywheel, gearbox oil and labour. 

 

It’s a bit of a situation and I would love to explore my options but I have absolutely no clue as to where to start or what costs to even expect. Id really appreciate any advice.

 

 Thank you

Bought 2 days ago... take it back.. the fault code would have been cleared but still appearing every 10 minutes  if you intend on fixing which you shouldn't have to as you just bought.. check my project thread I've just had to replace the mechatronics box and clutch, recoding etc. £2.6k The DQ200 on a a CAVE and CTHE will fail eventually, mine failed at 62k ...

Probably the usual Mechatronic pressure accumulator failure, we fit new mechs form TPS which costs around £2500 and can be done without removing the box from the car.

That is not what the OP said; he said it was working normally 2 days ago.

I’ve had it for a few months now, issue was two days ago. Thank you, have looked into your project before and will look over that now !
