DSG RECALL on MK7 - just received the letter

[ameel]

Anyone else got a letter for voluntary recall campaign 34F6 for faulty 7 speed DSG?

Hmm I was actually just going to post a thread regarding the mk7 7 speed dsg and how people have been going with it. Also interested in how many kms people have covered so far trouble free.

I got the same letter today as well.

I'd imagine quite a few owners will have received the letter by now.

Note that the recall doesn't apply to all Mk7 Golfs, but there are a lot of other models affected by this recall worldwide (the DQ200 gearbox is fitted to many variants), so as work orders slowly flow through the system in each country, expect more people to be formally notified in the coming months, logistics permitting.

On Volkswagen's Australian website towards the bottom of the page, there is a link to a vehicle recall lookup tool, where you can enter the VIN to see if the vehicle is affected by the three recalls listed on the page.

Well this sucks I'll have to make time to drop the car off, and i'm relocating next week, sigh...

haven't had any issues so far, but better not risk it. I've done about 3.4k Km

That was a recall last November (15th of Nov 2013), that's taken a while to get to you guys.

That's interesting because the recall number I have (in Sydney - I'm returning tomorrow) is different 3C something.

when you say returning, you mean sending the car to fix right, or do you actually returning the car altogether?

Oooooops. I've been away in Victoria and am returning to Sydney today (now) It's just I don't have the recall letter with me so could not quote the recall campaign code.

I thought the Golf 7's have a new DSG gearbox. I can't believe they still have not fixed the problem.
