Recall of 7spd DSG (excludes Mk7)

I
Don't get me wrong, I do intend to replace my car. Just bad timing at the moment.

Why continue complaining about it on the MK7 thread then? It is what it is.

DSG (as do Powershift and TCT) has quirks and irritations. Plenty of TC automatics with irritations (constant gear shuffling, stay in high gears too long, clunky shifts)

I can't believe people who had never driven a DSG before wouldn't have picked up during a test drive the foibles straight away. The initial delay for instance. The slow speed hesitation.

How do you know that your DSG was actually repaired/replaced? Does the dealer put some kind of sticker on the car or in your log book or is it going just in VW database? How can I be sure that they actually repaired it?

They give you an invoice and there should be a recall sticker placed on the car Usually on the driver A pillar when you open the door.

This has always been done on any car I have had a recall done on and there has been a few.

Interestingly I don't have a sticker on my car. Should i be worried?

Well, I don't even do that with slushboxes

Exactly, you're not supposed to hold any auto gearbox on a slope with just the throttle...

Very true but try telling those who do it all the time

I don't know ask the dealer how they record it It seems they can tell whats been done by entering the Vin in their system and they read it off.

I got an invoice when the Polo had the last recall done so just filed it.

there are also stickers in the boot if I remember correctly Look there.

Im not worrying about mine

I had mine done yesterday.

You should have a "receipt" showing 3 things. The mechatronics unit replaced, the oil replaced, and the sticker having been placed.

On my Caddy, it is on the driver side door A pillar (near the top hinge).
