Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf 1.4 (2014), Japanese import


When I pressed the start button, the engine did not start and the following errors appeared on the dashboard:
  • Adaptive Cruise Control and front assist not available
  • Electric Stabilisation Control error
  • Hill Assist error
  • Electronic Parking Brake error
  • Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) error
After approximately two hours, the car started normally and drove without any issues.

A few days later, the problem happened again. This time, the car started and I was able to select Drive. I drove for about 10 seconds, then the same warning messages appeared again. At that point, the transmission disengaged and went into neutral, even though the gear selector was still in Drive.

I then attempted to shift the gear into Park and back to Drive, but the gear selector became stuck in Park. The engine remained running

This issue seems to occur intermittently and is very confusing. I am trying to identify the exact fault that is causing the transmission to disengage and multiple system errors to appear at the same time.

I have shown it to two different garages they couldnt identify the issue. One said its the car Mechatronics Unit needs replacing.



I would appreciate advice on what could be causing this problem and how it can be properly diagnosed and fixed
 
It sounds like a multitude of issues - maybe the car was water damaged in Japan?

Do you have a scanner that can give you the error codes?
 
My Golf (2014 2.0tdi 150 DSG) throws these errors occasionally- generally during extreme weather (hot or cold). No garage, two different main dealers and both my trusted independents, ever found any fault. My Carista often finds errors linked to the air con but that all works as it should and got its own service which didn’t change anything.
Thankfully it hasn’t been so bad as to lock me out - just flashes the warning lights and messages. I did find turning it off and on again helped by clearing the messages.
Hasn’t done it for a few years now, oddly, but not a lot has been replaced in that time, just rear brake calipers, and I doubt they were the issue.
When the time comes for new vehicles I’m tempted to go back to classics - ones older than me… they just work.
