The Official Mk6 Golf DSG Clutch / Shudder / Squeal Issues Thread

[Bel]

Booked in to have the clutch pack replaced on the 1st of feb (first time they have a loan car available) and hopefully the squeak fixed again as well. Supposedly there is a new bulletin in regards to the squeak/waterpump - anyone heard anything?

Nope. Last bulletin update was 16th May 2011. No change to parts fitted as a fix.

Clutch pack replaced in the Golf subsequent to the 30k service. Excellent prompt service from Trivett Volkswagen in Blacktown. No more shudder in 1st/2nd anymore, all as smooth as silk.

Dropped my car off yesterday for the clutch pack replacement and interval service and pollen filter replacement too. Wasn't expecting it back for 3 days but I get to pick it up this afternoon
Only downside is that they want to replace the waterpump again but haven't got the part in stock so I have to go back again for that... It feels like the warranty issues are never ending *sigh*

Hoping to be a happy little camper with no shudder anymore woohoo (fingers crossed!)

Drop my car off yeterday morning. Need to leave the car there overnight as dealer said is a 6 hours job for the clutch pack and 4 hours for the water pump. He said is the new revised version of water pump. Hopefully it fixes the bird in my engine for good ... no more chirping sound

[Bel]

I was told that that revised waterpump wasn't going to be a long term fix (seeing they had done it once already and the squeak came back) and that there is meant to be a change to the clutch material in the supercharger coming out eventually....
I had around 15,000kms with no squeak once the water pump was replaced in mine the first time so fingers crossed you get a better result!

And enjoy no shudder once the clutch pack is replaced - the car is a joy (with squeak) to drive once again!

Congrats - good to hear

Klosters in Newcastle are still saying that there is no fix for the golf chirp, "you just have to accept it as part of owning a golf".
