DSG Limp Mode

MrGTI house reference

A DSG that suddenly won't shift, drops to a couple of gears, flashes the gear display (PRND or a flashing clutch), or refuses to move has gone into limp/emergency mode to protect itself. It's alarming but it's the box being cautious — triage it calmly before assuming the worst. See DSG Mechatronic Service for the usual root cause
