    Clutches finally replaced.

    What a difference! The lag that use to exist previously seems to have gone, and the power take up is more immediate than before.

    Silly question. My 3 year warranty expires December this year, if this happens in 2.5 years time, I'm on my own aren't I?

    DSG Box and clutch are now covered by a new 5 year Warranty however if it was to be 2.5 years time then yes...you "may" be up a creek.

Fuel pump was shot and would be replaced tomorrow when a new one come in. Apart from the noise and check engine light it ran fine. I had one occasion of a dead spot but that was it. Was told I couldn't drive it in case it complete shat it self and rained bits into the cams/ valve train.

    To my surprise the curtesy car came out, a Audi Q5. Must have cought it early. Have heard some horror story's from mates of Mk6 golfs just not starting and them taking days to work it out so the outcomes not to bad providing they fix it properly. Should be a quick easy job considering the position of it.

    So the cars in the shop. I get home and my tail lights have turned up.....

    So they replaced the high pressure fuel pump but there's still anouther noise. Was told they had emailed VAG HQ for permission to take the rocker cover off. So now I have a golf 2.0tdi with blue motion tech.

    if you wrote a nice enough letter saying that you believe that 2.5 years / 30,000kms is an unreasonable lifetime for a clutch pack to fail within, you might not have to foot the bill for anything. If they still try and make you pay, tell them you are going to Consumer affairs regarding the matter and you will let them deal with it

    Warrantee for these gearboxes have been officially extended to 5 years /150,000km. Because you are still within the original warrantee period this extends to you.

    Sub clause of warranty (which I might have slightly paraphrased):
    Vehicle must have been continually serviced at an authorized Volkswagen service department.

    Does anyone know if you connect to the car VCDS whether it gives you the report / analysis of the Clutches and whether they are within the tolerable operating range?

    Or is that some other fancy pants mystical VW analysis machine?
