I have recently acquired a Golf MK5 2.0 TDI with DSG gearbox.
While stood at traffic lights with box in neutral gear selection panel on dash started to flash. When shifted to drive - no drive. Fiddled with gear lever and when placed in 'Park' the lever locked and would not move. Engine stopped and restarted, braked lights checked = no joy. Massive traffic jam. many outraged drivers. Car would not move!
Finalle rescued by police & Green Flag
Local dealer can find nothing wrong with gearbox
Can anyone help?
My wife refuses to drive car!

Just goes to prove what I said about DSG from day one, avoid it like the plague. You aren’t the only one with this problem but VW customer services will deny ever having heard a bad word about it. Mostly it is a software issue that they cannot trace.
