MK6 Golf Mechatronics Failure - Warranty?

[SgtBatten]

I am having this exact same thing 12 months down the road. power failed when i was driving. Towed to the dealer. They have diagnosed a high pressure code and requiring mechatronics replacement. My car is not part of the recalls for these issues. 2012 Golf built November 2011

Quote is $3300 for repair. No idea what or how to ask for them to cover all or some of it.

VW is covering the entire cost. I am so relieved.

8 years old and 170000km on the clock.

All I did was say due to cost of repair would the dealership please contact VW Australia on my behalf and see if they can provide some financial assistance.

Thats good , friend had 3 replaced , 2 out of warranty , and when his 1.8l passat motor did a cam belt they replaced motor at 75k out of warranty , they need the brownie points .

Did you mean the timing chain? The cam belt premature failures aren’t common at all in the VAG cars.

MMM it was a 2011 year same as my mk6 GTI so you are right it was a chain .

That car had a new box and a new motor by 80,000km , and its gear box recently died again at about 145,000km , gone to the dust bin this time , bought himself a Tig and loves it , fingers crossed .
