Selector Lever R Line
Posted: Wed Jul 29, 2020 3:13 pm
Hi, this is my first post. I drive a black 2014 R Line. It is leased and I am thinking of purchasing at the end of this year. I have been told today at a service that I need to replace the selector lever at a cost of ...... wait for it ..... £1,255.88
I would really appreciate knowing if others have had a similar problem. I have seen a post about it online;

"One fault I have seen a few times in DSG vehicles is the loss of ability to start the vehicle, accompanied by a fault code relating to the park/neutral switch. The problem is that the mechatronic is getting bad information regarding the position of the gear selector, and won’t let you start the car because it can’t be sure you are in park or neutral. The affected part here is actually in the gear selector itself, rather than the transmission. Though it could also be a wiring or communication fault."
This has also occurred on my car.
Any help is appreciated
