30,000 Km Service

[sharp]

I've had my 30k service at the local VW dealer which they replaced the thermostat housing and the whole transmission along with the normal log book service! It wasn't a big issue for me as it's just a novated car but I had this transmission slipping noise when changing from reverse to D for the first five mins while it's cold.

I wonder why LOLOLOLOL...

Hi VW, I need my "stock" Tiguan serviced

Same statement applied to the cops

I know, ey? Apparently gear slipping is a known issue and there is a service bulletin for it. But after they applied the bulletin's fix, they said the car didn't pass some tests and sought approval from VW Australia to replace the transmission. The whole process took close to two months but they provided a hire car during the repair.

Any idea what the transmission is worth new?

A friend with an older GL63 AMG had to get the transmission changed under warranty which was 70k new...

Underground Performance do servicing now - might be worth booking in with them if they are located close by.

I use them for services. Very happy.

Hrms... how did you know the box was going?

I do experience bunny hopping when I'm on a hill and don't apply either the brakes or accelerator.
It feels like the TCU is to stupid to work out what it's doing so it's engaging the clutch, then disengaging which invokes this terrible bunny hop like how most people would drive my R33 with 1.7 ton clamping pressure on the clutch lol.

Maybe related too?

Also in random news, because I love using LC.. I chopped my mate's 370Z with decats, catback and intake.

I thought that was just standard DSG behaviour...though my wife's Fiesta (with the dreaded Dual Clutch which has been the big recall issue) doesn't display this behaviour
