DSG Gearbox specialists
Does anyone know of any good DSG gearbox specialists in the East Midlands or Cambridgeshire area?
My dad's having issues selecting getting Reverse gear on his VW Caddy and having looked into it it may be down to a faulty reverse gear selector fork bearing. Apparently it's a bit of a common fault and the part has been redesigned but getting someone to be able to take the box apart to replace it is proving difficult as not many gearbox/clutch places want, or have the knowledge to touch a DSG gearbox.

It is fairly common and the unsupported fork can wipe out the gear position sensor if you're unlucky.
The uprated part itself is less than a hundred quid, but it's a big job to get at it.
You could try Eco Torque in Arlesey.
They are about 30 miles south west of Cambridge.1
