gear box error is P187B00 “Gear selector 2 engaging process not successful

[iggyhumph]

Hi All,

I was hoping for some useful pointers what to do next regarding my gearbox malfunction fault with my 2011 Audi SQ5 3.0 TDI common rail - 7 Speed DSG gearbox. When reducing speed its holding on to 2nd gear when pulling up to junctions then gives a surge and selects 1st. This is when the dashboard lights up with the gearbox malfunction warning. It happens in both Sports or Drive mode. All other gear changes are fine. I've just had the wiring harness in the mechatronics unit changed and also 4 solenoids but I still have the same issue. Car is in the shop now and the mechanic is saying he needs to change the circuit board. He doesn't seem confident it will fix the problem. He was confident the mechatronics repair kit would have resolved the issue but it didn't

I previously got the gearbox software upgraded by Audi from version 11 to version 13 but it didn't cure the problem. The gear box error is P187B00 “Gear selector 2 engaging process not successful.

Some other background to note is that this is a replacement gearbox from another Q5 2012 with 49,000 KMs. Had the problem above since it was installed

Please let me know if there is any other information I should share to help identify the issue

Thanks!

Bump...

OBDeleven is giving me the same code as well. This is an intermittent issue - most noticeable when coming to a stop; seems transmission wants to grab even though brakes are engaged to a full stop. Transmission switches to Sport mode automatically when the issue arises. Other deets:

Mileage: 140,550
Year: 2013
Model: S4

Thanks!

Were you able to have any resolution with this issue?

I replaced the two brand new solenoids with another set of brand new solenoids and made sure all forks were engaged and aligned well and it all worked out well.
