UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Afternoon,
I was wondering if anyone could shine a bit of light or help me out with a problem i may have.
Took my 2012 Polo GTI in for a service at the weekend and they came back and said there was an oil leak form the mechatronic unit...
So alarm bells started ringing and i thought I'd need a whole new unit which would cost a lot of money, but the guys at Autotechnica (where i take my car for servicing) say the mechatronics is fine, it might just need a new gasket.
After a bit of research and they did the same too, you can't actually get just the gasket for the unit. You can only get the mechatronic as a hole unit.

Anyone else had this problem or know of a resolution?

Thanks in advance

(Not that anyone cares) But got my car booked in for a DSG oil change, the guys are going to check the sealing face and make sure everythings clean etc.
Should have an answer as to why its leaking later today so people can see how to resolve this in the future

Good luck today Josher - I hope that it turns out to be an easy (and inexpensive) resolution.
And, as a fellow 6R GTI'er, I'm definitely caring

Well I had an oil change and a good clean done, not checked under the car yet but I'm hoping its solved the problem

Fingers crossed!
