Recall Depreciation - Sell ?

[gavs]

I know the services guys never know what they are talking about. Honestly I'm no better though, I tend to second guess their expertise but normally seek advice elsewhere.

I haven't see anything on the driver door will look this afternoon. I recall the campaign number something QC277 or 200 can't remember. DSG is smoother but the shuddering is still apparent. Just means ill need to bring it back before selling.

Just so you know what you're lookin for, it doesn't contain any of the numbers or letters you mentioned it will be a 4 digit code starting with a "3".

Spoken to VWAG...no official letter has been issued for the Mechatronics voluntary recall service date(s).

I was assured that the first batch is still scheduled to arrive by late August / Early September as they wish to send a mass shipment via Sea freight.

So I think your dealer did the Mickey Mouse on you...

I was assured that I got the recall done. There's nothing on drivers or passengers doors but I do have the service spec sheet. Ill check once I get home.

Check around the spare tyre bay underneath the boot floor. Thats where the recall / service campaign stickers have been placed in my car. Might be worth a shot!

Ok got the service note it says campaign 35C1, removed and replaced mechatronics unit as per campaign bulletin.

Yep, that's the recall code but if there is no sticker anywhere on the car (which by law they have to put on the vehicle so it is easily apparent to buyers that the recall has been carried out) i'd be a bit dubious, considering the 'tech' told you about the gear ratios... I still laugh at that

There has to be a sticker that from memory of the specific law says it needs to be in an easily visible place for the owner or subsequent buyers to see that the required recalls on the vehicle have been carried out. If you have had the 37g7 campaigncarried out as well, there should be a sticker for that too.

I think you may want to confer with VWAG...I'm in touch with several people in upper management who keep singing from the same song sheet:

Recall parts have yet to arrive and we expect the shipment to arrive late August early September. When parts do arrive for affected vehicles (unless the vehicle is unsafe to drive to which parts have been allocated for them as soon as possible) we will send a second letter dealing with vehicles with build dates from Feb 2010 to June 2010 and following later build dates as parts become more widely available.

The recall sticker for the DSG software update in 2012 for my (now written off :'( ) Polo was put top right of the spare wheel well

Which begs the question, do I get another Polo GTI?

Mine was placed on the driver side door frame ( body side) just below the top hinge.

I will check to see if it is in either of those places... but the door is a definite no.

I'd also like to mention that the sales team also advised me of the same message. Parts are only coming in now and letters are starting to be sent out. However speaking straight to a service tech he told me they had heaps of the parts in stock and would just put my car in asap. He was a champ in my eyes.

The service techs seem to have a better understanding but I don't talk to those guys much its all through the sales service guy. This is the guy that told me about the gear ratio junk.
