I'm in the same boat..I'm thinking of waiting until recall gets fixed..just to be on safer side..
Who here has their car tuned and falls into this latest VW DSG recall category?
I've only received my first letter from VW, not the second. I'm very enthusiastic to have my car tuned right now but I'm concerned if I proceed that VW will not grant the warranty for the recall.
I could be waiting a week or a year before my car gets recalled...however I can't wait that long for the tune unfortunately.
Thoughts please.

I had a jetta that was chipped that eventually had the DSG replaced under warranty a few years ago. No mention of the tune was made to me during the process.

The recall is still valid, even if the vehicle was tuned. You might as well tune it now and if the DSG fails it should get fixed under the conditions of the recall.

What makes you believe that I would be lucky to get in before November?...aren't we in different states of this grand ole land?
According to the information in the first letter...I am to wait until the second letter is received before the process is moved forward.
I think I'll proceed with getting the tune based on Transporter's info...seems to make enough sense to me.
doing the tune of the engine ecu will not effect the recall....its only gearbox related...VDUB...

Don't ask me...ask my case manager he suggested that waiting for the second letter could lead to a wait til around September...to which each dealership has only one or two fully trained technicians to carry out that particular recall. So in short he called up my dealership in which they called me...and ding mecha unit is going in October.
