Resolved P175F 00 [047] - Basic Settings Not Performed - DQ500

[jaysonk]

Hi all,

Hope you are well.

I have recently had the mechatronic unit on the family car (2013 Tiguan 2.0 TDI) replaced after the old one was smashed to pieces in a minor collision with a kerb

The unit was replaced with a brand new one with an exact matching part number and was then fit.

I expected it to need some form of coding to start working however the car seems to drive and charge gears as normal.

There is a flashing spanner icon on the currently selected gear so I checked this out using VCDS and can see the following fault code:
P175F 00 [047] - Basic Settings Not Performed

I've then found the following wiki page on how to run the basic settings. It's a DQ500 gearbox:
http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/DQ500_DSG_7-speed_transmission

My question is: What can happen if the basic settings process fails. Can it leave the car undrivable?
I am just wondering whether to run the process myself or take it to a local garage instead.

Thank you in advance for you help.

Will have to do that later in the week as the car is at my parents home.

Would be great if someone could answer in the meantime.

Just don’t want to brick the TCU..

Without an autoscan to see what parts your vehicle has fitted, part numbers, software & hardware versions etc. I doubt anyone will offer any help, at risk of ending up with what you just stated you don't want to do.

Getting help here is also conditional on having a legitimate VCDS interface.
