DSG RECALL on MK7 - just received the letter

[egsolomon]

Has anyone had the ECU on their mk7 recoded during a service?

I can let you know on Friday. Need to pick up some touch up paint, and when I called, dealer mentioned a new software update/recall and will be applying it for me then.

Good friend of mine, today had to book his MK7 TSI Comfortline (8,000km) in for a "warranty repair" on the DSG7 ..... making weird noises every time he pulls off from a standing start and VW says its a "known issue" which will be repaired under warranty.

I warned him not to buy the DSG7 but he did anyway thinking VW must have fixed this by now, especially since they said so when the MK7s came out!

Likewise, 8,800kms and on 3 occassions on the same day I heard a loud noise on pulling away from a standstill. This was about 3 weeks ago and has been silent since. My dad has a 2010 A3 and it is the same noise his was making before the clutch packs were replaced.

Took mine to the dealer who said they could not replicate - understandable. They did ring VW Aust and explained the problem and got authorisation to change the clutch packs. I also thought the 7 speed DSG issues were long past.

Interested to know of any other MK 7 's who have had clutch packs replaced.

At least now they're changing the clutches with minimal hassle. My sister got the clutch packs done on her out of warranty, recently purchased Octavia free of charge.

FYI Recall 45D4 being done on my car that I dropped off yesterday. They've included it along with the other job I dropped it off for. Haven't received any letter for that though.

I brought my Mk7 TDI to the dealership yesterday, they had two recall codes even though there isn't an official recall that I'm aware of. One of the codes even earned my car a badge of honor.

Since I like to dump useful links on webpages to find them later in life on Google...

Insert VIN number, find out your car needs updates...(link was from Facebook page of Volkswagen Golf mk7)

Singlespeed: I'm sure that your TDI will wear the recall badge of honour with pride! But I'm surprised that your car doesn't have a second badge for the other recall (which I assume is the mineral oil change for the dsg - i.e. recall 34F6). Have you had this done?

Edit: oops, I just noticed that you have an my14. recall 34F6 is probably not relevant for your car- sorry
