Wow. I don't blame you for leaving at all.

My 2011 118TSI broke down on the freeway last month. The car completely lost drive while cruising at 100km. The car was towed to the 1st dealer which they diagnosed a new gearbox is needed and could not get VW HQ to assess the root cause without a full strip down of the gearbox for a detailed report which will cost $1290. I spoken to a service manager of another dealer and he eas extremely helpful so the car was towed to that dealer. The bottom line is this dealer was able to get VW HQ to cover the costs of a new gearbox and labour.

I'm wondering how many persons have had their entire gearboxes replaced.

Nice work - this was done under goodwill clearly and the dealer did all the talking to VW for you ?

Thanks again for all the information dude. Just to let everyone know how I went. I have just driven home with the 2011 MFL stamped DSG from the 2.0 diesel Jetta (I think) and all seems to be working great. I did a DSG relearn with the modus and checked the fluid level and all seems great so far much smoother and now I have reverse bonus!
thanks again for your help. Cheers Josh.

Nice to hear that you got a good result with the mfl gearbox!

My mate has a 2011 Golf TSI with only 20,000kms.

His having issues with his DSG

Is he on his own or will VW help him?

Any DSG friendly dealers in Sydney people recommend?

There are a lot of posts here on the issues with the dsg which is fair if i had a problem i would post here 2

But just to put balance into the post i had a mark 6 with 147k with the dq250 serviced on time oil and filter ect not 1 issue
as i know how to drive it (like a manual) it is now in the hands of my daughter and will be her car for the next 4 or 5 years
Also the mark 6 has had not 1 issue of any kind at all in the 8+ years of ownership! every button, switch,light ect works as well as it did when new
my family have 2 polo,s and a golf all with the dq200 i taught them all how to drive the dsg properly no issues cars are 2,3 and 5 years old
I have just got a new dq 381 in my new golf and have to say its supurb so just putting the other side of the coin on the table not everyone has a issue with the dsg

I acknowledge that there are issues esp with the dq200 and some get boned but with the right driving style the dsg can be a vry good box
