Gearbox symptoms can have multiple causes. Diagnostics allows us to identify your gearbox type, confirm the fault correctly, and avoid unnecessary repairs.
Typical time: 45–60 minutes
Book Your Diagnostic
Work (repair or reconditioning) completed by automatic gearbox specialists.
We carry out the agreed repair using the correct procedures and parts for your gearbox type. Some faults require targeted repair work, others may require full gearbox reconditioning for a reliable outcome.
Typical timeframe: around 3–5 working days (final timeline confirmed after diagnostics)
The job is only complete once testing is finished
Testing is an essential part of the process. We re-scan the vehicle, complete final checks, and carry out at least one test drive (usually 1–3 depending on the vehicle and repair type) to confirm performance under real conditions.
Timing: completed before handover
Gearbox Services
We specialise in VW Group automatic gearboxes, including DSG, S tronic, Tiptronic, Multitronic, and mechatronic systems.
Repair
We carry out targeted component-level repairs within the Mechatronic unit, including sensors, solenoids, and electrical circuits to resolve the original fault without replacing the entire assembly. By focusing on the root cause, we help avoid the high cost of a complete dealer-supplied Mechatronic unit
Key Benefit: Significant cost reduction and preservation of the vehicle’s original component coding.
Recondition
If the original Mechatronic unit is beyond repair, we replace it with a fully reconditioned unit rebuilt by our engineers to OEM standards. By using pre-processed stock, we significantly reduce vehicle downtime while ensuring the replacement unit meets the same high standards of performance and reliability.
The Milta Warranty: We provide a full warranty on all reconditioned parts. Unlike "used" or "second-hand" parts, our reconditioned units are technically restored to "as-new" reliability.
Replace
A brand-new factory Mechatronic unit is supplied and installed only when the original part is physically damaged beyond repair or when reconditioned stock is unavailable. This ensures the most reliable solution is used while avoiding unnecessary replacement costs whenever possible.
Key Benefit: replacing the Mechatronic unit provides a fast and reliable solution, helping reduce vehicle downtime while restoring factory-level performance and reliability.

Why Diagnostics First?
Gearbox symptoms can be caused by different faults. That’s why we don’t confirm repairs based on symptoms alone. Diagnostics allows us to identify the correct gearbox type, confirm the fault, and give an accurate quote before starting work.
