The clutch position the module commanded does not match what it measured. On an automated manual or dual-clutch box this usually means wear or an adaptation problem.
P0810 — also written PO81O, P 0810, 0810 — is the OBD-II code for clutch position control error. Same code, same fix: this page covers every spelling of it.
P0810 is a transmission fault code, typically costing £150–£2000 to put right in a UK garage.
What causes P0810?
- Clutch wear beyond adaptation range
- Failed clutch actuator
- Mechatronic fault
- Adaptations never reset after a clutch replacement
How P0810 is fixed
- Carry out clutch adaptation with a capable scan tool
- Measure clutch wear values on live data
- Replace the clutch pack or actuator if adaptation is out of range
P0810 repair cost in the UK
Most P0810 repairs land between £150–£2000 including parts and labour. The spread is wide because the cheap fix (a sensor, a hose, a leak) and the expensive fix (a major component) throw the same code — which is why a proper diagnosis before parts are bought saves the most money.
