Default Skoda Octavia DSG problem.

Hi, Skoda Octavia 2.0 TDI BKD engine DSG. There is a problem with the car hesitating and jerking on throttle. Idling is lumpy as well and general performance seems reduced. The problem is worse in high gear. Turbo, injectors, MAF sensor have been replaced. Any ideas

Could it be the Mechatronic control unit as they seem to be a fairly common failure on dsg boxes from reading on the net.

To be fair it's up on the miles. Turbo needed doing anyway and injectors weren't too dear. Maybe it's time to cut the losses.

Might be worth a trip to a specialist, a mate had a auto BMW that had a issue with and he was getting worried, it turned out to be a 50 quid sensor and it sorted it(not exactly the same but it may be something simple)
