Hey
I was driving today and i got this.

The gear written on the display keeps shifting between D# and that maintenance icon, like it keeps flashing and switching.

Does that mean the mechatronic is failing?

I have a video of it which I can upload later.

Thanks

Thank you for your reply.

I searched on Google and I already had a background about problems with the DSG gearbox.

This is exactly what my car does:

I am going to take it to the dealership tomorrow morning, I just hope the car gets me there safely without breaking down or anything.

I still have warranty on the car so I am assuming they must fix it for free, even if the warranty has already expired, correct? Since it's a popular and known problem with the DSG gearbox. And would you have any idea how long it takes to actually get it replaced and whether or not it returns in the near future?

Thanks man

Well I went to the service center this morning and they told me that there's an update for my gearbox and that they will also replace the oil. If it doesn't work out, then they'll contact the technical support team and order a mechatronic replacement from VW in Europe, which will take around a month or so.
