How much is my car worth with DSG/Powershift gearbox problems?

We typically pay £800-£4,000+ for vehicles with dual-clutch gearbox failures. The exact value depends on make, model, year, mileage and overall condition - but it's always more than scrap value.

Is it worth fixing a DSG gearbox?

DSG/Powershift repairs typically cost £1,500-£4,000+ for mechatronic unit replacement, or £2,500-£6,000 for a full gearbox. For many vehicles, selling is the smarter choice.

Why do DSG gearboxes fail?

Dual-clutch gearboxes are complex with many failure points: mechatronic units, clutch packs, bearings, and software issues. The Ford Powershift (dry clutch) is particularly prone to problems.

Do you buy cars stuck in limp mode?

Yes, we buy vehicles in any gearbox condition - limp mode, no drive, stuck in gear, or complete failure. We'll collect it free of charge.

Can you collect my car if it won't move?

Absolutely. We provide free recovery for all non-runners, including vehicles with failed gearboxes that can't be driven.
