DSG Software Upgrade

[gavs]

They wont because even though it is a "recall", it is not going to affect the safety of other road users so there is not letter that gets sent out, rubbish customer service I know, but they will do it to affected vehicles when they come in for a service, depending on the dealership.

Tell it to the two customers that failed a drive through an intersection

Recalls should be "posted" (not physically mailed, I meant "posted")

Does anyone know if this is a free update, i.e. can I just book my car in to get the update without a service? I have experienced the DSG failing twice, and would really prefer for it not to occur again.

that would be the 37G7 service campaign.

Does that 37G7 apply to 7 speed DSG's as fitted to 4-motion 132kw T5's?
Mine is sluggish as all hell to respond from a standing start or <10 km/hr - bloody dangerous when trying to enter gaps in traffic.
Once it "gets the message" however, she really boogies. But it simply ain't good enough, VW!

dropped the car off this morning for the software and actuator recalls

I'm assuming this will be done on "in stock" cars pre-delivery?

Should be part of the updated software that the dealership loads on pre-delivery. If they load the correct software to begin with.....

Just got my 77 tsi back from the DSG software update and the actuator fix. I noticed that the gear changes doesn't struggle during start-stop traffic and when the revs are low (<1k RPM). Before it used to shudder a bit in traffic, especially if there is an incline as well. Most pleasing is the rattle from the engine bay is gone now!

Update done. Think it's for the better. Feels better at stop / start traffic and MUCH more responsive kicking back a few gears when highway driving.

I also think S mode isn't a 'mean' as it used to be changing gears

I had my update about a month ago now, had the actuator fix and DSG software updated...

In traffic the DSG does not clunk anymore. overall in all modes the DSG is smarter and more pleasing to drive hard.

Actuator fix has gone well too, and noticed with upgraded engine software that if you go for a decently quick launch at lights etc that the engine will double blip and launch harder than it ever did. think this may help the turbo spin up quicker, ive noticed no ill effects this double blip plus it sounds cool

Placement of my 2 updates are stickers on the drivers side panel, near where the wiring for door electrics comes out.
