Question 1

What do fault codes P173500 and P173600 mean on a DSG DQ380 gearbox?

Accepted Answer

P173500 relates to an internal electrical fault within the mechatronic unit, typically affecting solenoid valve control circuits. P173600 indicates a pressure regulation fault inside the mechatronic assembly. Both codes point directly to the DQ380 mechatronic unit and require specialist diagnosis and repair rather than a simple reset.

Question 2

How much does DSG DQ380 mechatronic repair cost in Hainault?

Accepted Answer

Costs vary depending on the extent of internal damage found during our diagnostic process. MnF Motors provides transparent, itemised quotes before any work begins. We do not add hidden charges, and because we are an independent garage we consistently offer significantly better value than main dealers or large national chains.

Question 3

How long does DSG DQ380 mechatronic repair take?

Accepted Answer

In most cases the repair is completed within one to two working days. This includes full diagnostic scanning, internal mechatronic repair or unit refurbishment, recalibration using professional-grade software and a post-repair road test to confirm correct gearbox operation.

Question 4

Can I drive my car to MnF Motors from Hainault with P173500 or P173600 active?

Accepted Answer

We strongly advise against driving with these fault codes active for any extended distance. The mechatronic unit controls every gear change and clutch engagement in your DSG gearbox. Continued driving risks further internal damage and a significantly higher repair bill. Call us on 020 8088 3150 and we can advise on the safest course of action for your specific situation.
