Geartronix
Anyone used these guys to repair DSG boxes?
Any feedback or recommendations? I have been to them to run a diagnostic on my DSG box(240 000kms), they quoted for actually repairing the box and stating the Mechatronics is fine.
They seem to know their stuff and have loads of VAG cars, really nice folks.

Re: Geartronix
I have warned people before and keep remebering that. If you are the spiller of beans beware that people has been sued and it cost them a lot for the spilling of beans.
If you decide to , better be sure to state only FACTS and that your side is clean in as far as you gave them reasonable opportunity to fix the repair and an opportunity to state their case....

Re: Geartronix
Took an A3 to them to get the DSG gearbox repaired. Place were packed with VAGS. It was there and then I realised that the DSG's are problem gearboxes.
