DSG Gearbox Repairs in Peterlee: Schaeffler Training Complete

At High Volt Garage, we don’t just work on Volkswagens and Audis — we specialise in them. And when it comes to DSG gearboxes, specialist isn’t optional. These advanced transmissions demand the right tools, the right training, and the right approach.

That’s why we’ve just completed dedicated DSG gearbox training with Schaeffler, the OE supplier behind many VAG transmission components. And alongside that, we’ve invested in new DSG-specific tooling to make sure every repair is done by the book.

Why DSG Gearboxes Need More Than a Guess

DSG (Direct-Shift Gearbox) units are common across the VW Audi Group range — from the Golf and A3 to the Octavia and SEAT Leon. They’re smooth, quick, and efficient. But they’re also complex.

When things go wrong, symptoms like:

• Delayed gear engagement

• Shuddering at low speeds

• Vibration under load

• Warning lights or fault codes

…can all point to different causes. Bearings, clutches, mechatronics — or even incorrect fluid types.

That’s where our Schaeffler training comes in.

Schaeffler Training: Real-World DSG Diagnosis and Repair

We recently took part in a technical training session run by Schaeffler REPXPERT, focused entirely on DSG diagnostics and repairs. Key areas included:

• Reading and interpreting fault codes and live data

• Diagnosing worn clutch packs and input shaft bearings

• Correct removal and replacement of clutch systems

• Pressure testing and mechatronic adaptation

• Ensuring precise torque specs and gearbox alignment

We worked on DQ200 (dry clutch) and DQ250 (wet clutch) gearboxes — the most common types in the UK VAG range.

Tooled Up: New Equipment for Dealer-Level DSG Repairs

Training is nothing without the right tools — so we’ve invested in a full range of DSG-specific tooling, including:

• Clutch alignment kits for DQ200 and DQ250

• Bearing removal and press tools

• Adaptation/reset tools for post-repair calibration

• Gearbox support and install tools

This gear ensures we can carry out DSG clutch and bearing replacements to factory standard, without risk of damage or misalignment.
