I only have an older VAGcom 3.x presently, so hope this helps.

I was on my way out to the car to check/clear codes when I saw your post, so I grabbed a screenshot:

(cold engine/box)




The temperature reading on the dash was 14 degrees C.

Sounds to me like you have a connection issue, perhaps one that is common to both the sensor and the selector.

Cheers Mark.

16C is very close to 14C. You're in good shape!

OK, done.

At cold, the oil was 17C with an outside temperature of 14.5C.

We did a total of about 22 miles on a mix of dual carriageway, B roads and around town. Outside temp ranged from 13.5 to 14.5 and the oil temp from about 74C to a max of 84C when I stopped after the run.

Hope that is of some help Sergey.

Thanks Jim.

On fully warmed up car I also have around 80C (this is when the sensor behaves).

I made more measurements today during driving and sometimes temperature starts to jump absolutely abnormally. I had no chance to make a screenshot with a graph, but it looks quite random. Then returns back to steady state at around 80C. When it jumps to 155C the gearbox shifting strategy changes.

Need to change sensor.

After the German meet went to ZF Darmstadt and changed the oil temperature sensor with harness.

As part of the exercise they did complete gearbox service which included removing hydraulic switching unit and cleaning it.
They also changed one piston (part number 1068 227 039), but it was not related to oil temperature sensor problem.

Pictures!

Any noticeable improvement after dropping 600 euros on it?

The problem with the faulty oil temperature sensor disappeared.

As always after an oil change the gearbox feels very smooth.

This is my 3rd oil change in the gearbox.

Great idea Sergey, to get the work done when already in Germany.
Not a bad price too for a full ZF service.
