2015 GTi DSG - Thunk/thump when shifting from 2nd to 3rd

[NuffNuff]

Noticed it at 3000km

I think it's about to hit 5k now

Hey Mate

It would be great if you could send me a pm with which dealer and what they & VW Aust has told you.

I have now been told that new DSG won't solve the problem and that we have to wait for a software update to fix the issue (they don't know when this will be developed by )

Hmm, I don't get to drive it hard enough...no around where I live... but Recently its gone away...
I'll figure something out... still got afair bit of warranty on ours...

Give us an update after you get it done.

[NuffNuff]

well, the dsg mechatronics unit is stuffed.

they have pulled it out and waiting for a new one to arrive. pickup a rental car later (they are paying for it). i'll be without the GTI for a week or more.

looks like i just inherited the worlds fastest car for a week or so

[tc831]

How's the new mechatronic?

[NuffNuff]

Probably still on a boat from Germany. ****in vw.

Interestingly, I took a new one home for the night (14km on the clock) and I also thought the changes were harsh. It was like driving a shift kitted auto, gave ya that little slap in the back.

I noticed in D and cruising round town, harder accel felt normal.

I figured "GTI' must be the sporty feel they are going for lol

I'm approaching the 10k mark :s mines disappeared ....

[NuffNuff]

finally got my car back, hadnt had an opportunity to test the 2nd to 3rd due to traffic so i'll report back tonight since the new DSG mechatronics should have fixed it

[NuffNuff]

yep, well the DSG mechatronics replacement has solved all the slow speed/traffic clunkiness and the slam between 2nd and 3rd is gone. drives really beautifully now. shame it took two and a half weeks
