CVT gearbox

[yampiedog]

Well the inevitable has happened, the gearbox has lost drive. I don't have anything for diagnostics either. Got the car home with recovery but now I have a car that won't drive.

What sort of costs are the gearbox repairs? I know they aren't cheap.

Can I get something off eBay to read the fault codes?

Hi mate. I bought a Delphi 150e off eBay. It cost around 50 quid. It comes with plug in obd  box and lead and the software. Does cars up 2013. It will link to most lap tops etc. I got one as I have an A7. It does codes for everything. Service lights etc. Mine has paid for itself 10 times over. It can be a little tricky to install software on laptop as you have to remove your antivirus, but don't panic. It's safe. If you know someone who is decent with computers, it would be a doddle  for them.  Type Delphi 150e into eBay. They do work. Try and get one from UK though.  Regards Rob

P.s I've just looked. They are still on there. Around 67 quid now. Rob
