Our googling has shown that the issue also affects the Mk7 Golf and countless other models fitted with the latest incarnation of the VW DSG gearbox. Seems to be a process to fit it, but even with extra labour it would be cheaper than a whole gear selector lever assembly.

This error only shows up momentarily but it’s quite unsettling and accompanied by a rather disconcerting error tone from the dash. Our trade only pricing is typically 30% lower than dealer trade prices. Our exclusive trade pricing is hard to beat!With more use of the car the messages started coming less often and now, according to my daughter who now has the car, the messages have gone away completely. Five minutes on Google and I found that it's a common DSG fault across the VAG family. Five more minutes and I found that in the USA there's even a safety recall relating to it - 37L5. A build up of silicate on a microswitch in the DSG causes a false reading of an open circuit. In the states, it's a free fix as it's considered a safety issue. Early information suggests that this is the case. We’ve seen a number of posts on the Skoda VRS owners club facebook group link from owners confirming that dealers are replacing the offending parts under warranty. It’s also been stated that some owners with vehicles out of warranty have had to pay labour with the selector being offered “good will” by the manufacturer. Great info Greg, as you say it's more of a comfort/reassurance thing than anything else moving the shifter and if it helps in any small way it's worth it

Whilst the error tone is annoying the error only displays on the maxi dot for a few seconds at most. It is becoming more of a regular occurrence in my VRS, I’m just hoping that eventually it doesn’t fail completely causing either limp home mode or worse. Will it be fixed under warranty? This genuine 5Q0713128A Gear Shifter Micro Switch is designed for use with Volkswagen Golf MK7 GTI/R models. Fixes " 'Error Workshop, only leave vehicle in Position P" Now I’m in two minds about this. Whilst it’s great that Skoda is willing to cover the cost of the parts, I’m still facing a bill for something that I believe should be either recalled or fixed entirely as “goodwill”. Is the offer of goodwill admission that this is a known issue? Is this another dieselgate in the making? Frankly, I’m a little pi**ed about the whole situation. https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwiz5sTc6NbqAhWkxYUKHSeaDcAQ3YkBegQIARAE&url=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.nhtsa.gov%2Fodi%2Frcl%2F2019%2FRCRIT-19V615-0044.pdf&psig=AOvVaw3w-umW7MjRgt61LIU3pyQy&ust=1595162145089402&cshid=1595075773587 This being the error in the maxi dot that displays – Error: workshop! Leave vehicle only when selector lever is in position P.

Judging that the labour for the selector replacement is around 4 hours of wrenching, we very much doubt that this would be a Saturday afternoon with the spanners. I’m certainly not keen to give this one a go. What happens if I just ignore it? Yes, I realised that. My point was about how much faster, cheaper and more accurately Wheelbase diagnosed and repaired your fault.
