Hi guys
I have a 2015 1.6 TDI Polo sedan 5 speed manual.
I bought the car with this problem for a used car dealership and they are happy to pay for the repair but the problem is this.
My cars gear indicator on the dash displays correctly up to 3rd gear.
When I go to 4th gear it shows I am in 5th gear. When I put it in 5th gear it shows nothing.
Now this causes my cruise control to only work in 1st to 4th gear as it does not pick up 5th gear which is useless as you would use cruise control in 5th gear.
I have had the car at several auto electricians, VW specialists and it was at VW Barons for a few days.
Not one of the places could pick up any error codes on their diagnostic machines. They traced the wiring and cold not find anything. I also checked that the the car has the correct gearbox in and it seems it does.
I did have stage 1 software done on the car with a EGR and DPF delete, but this problem was there before I did the software.
Now VW Barons tells me the software I did is the problem even after I told them the car was 100% stock standard and it had the problem then aswell.
Car is going to one last VW agent tomorrow but I highly doubt if they would be able to fix it.
If there is anyone who has had this problem before or have some insight or ideas to get this fixed i would be very happy to hear from you.
