June/July 2013 7-Speed DSG Recall: Frequently Asked Questions

[Bel]

Yep... Mine is still shuddery at slow take off speeds around corners. Worse than it was prior to having the recall work done.

Had the Polo done 2 weeks ago. Wasn't giving any problems beforehand and seems just a bit smoother now Possibly a software upgrade more the the unit

Just received a letter from VW about second recall for my Golf VI.
Compaign number 35C1.
What is the difference between this one and the previous. It says that conducting deposits in the gearbox can blow the fuse box and need to be replaced.
Has anyone done this service already?

35C1 has been out for awhile now, it's replacement DSG mechatronics and replacement gear oil as the gear oil is the problem and they suspect has already contaminated the mechatronics, they also update the SW aswell.

I already had megatronics unit replaced last year under the first recall notice. What is the difference between these two?

What was the other recall code? 34f6? 34f6 is just the gearbox oil replacement and software update without mechatronics.

35c1 is what I stated in my first post.

I finally found previous letter that was sent to me in October 2013. It has the same number 35C1. Doesn't VW keep the records of the recall?
I have no sticker on the car however telling me that that recall job was done. I know some people told me that they had sticker on the drivers side of the door but i have nothing there. Maybe they didn't do anything last time they had the car???

Look in the boot in front of the spare tyre they put them there sometimes

Jack the car up and check to see if the DSG oil drain plug has three notices in it.

Had my Polo boot open today and 3 notices on L/H side beside model sticker So at least I know where mine are
