Mechatronics to be replaced with an updated/modified unit.

Interesting as mine is an MY12.

To fix false neutral issue I had.

A few freebies from the dealer thrown in.

Love these guys.

Glad I have that factory extended warranty

After your 06XT too you don't seem to have had much luck with gearboxes. Did you have any concerns with your GTI's?

think i may have had a false neutral yesterday... was in D manual and downshifted just before accelerating out of a roundabout, had nothing for about a second then it jerked and engaged. thought maybe it went back into auto just before i flicked the paddle and it got confused?

I had it happen twice, both those times I was fussing with DSG from D to Sport so i put it down to me not the unit.. that was months ago.. see if it happens agin before deciding it is a real issue

My Forester didn't have DSG

My 08 GTI DSG mechatronics was replaced due to some abrupt shifts and some low speed jerkiness

Minor, but I don't put up with things like that, others do
