S-TRONIC REPAIRS

The S-Tronic gearbox can be found in a wide range of Audi vehicles. S-TRONIC is the Audi version of the VW DSG. They are fitted longitudinally as opposed to the Transverse layout of the DSG. They are found in models ranging from the A5/A5 chassis up to the flagship A8.

The S-Tronic system is a reliable and durable gearbox, however there are a few common faults that can be diagnosed and repaired. In most cases the main dealer will condemn the complete gearbox and the costs involved can surpass the value of the car they are fitted in. Here at Regal Autosport we specialise in S-Tronic Repairs. In 98% of failures the unit can be repaired at a fraction of the cost of a replacement gearbox.

S-Tronic repairs are carried out in house by our experienced technicians. The Mechatronic unit is the most common component to fail, although this is sometimes a result of an internal component failure.

All Mechatronic repairs come with a Lifetime guarantee. There is also a ”CVT’ variant fitted in some models.
