Doesn’t seem like they are trying to get out of it.

Once they post up a notice like that your covered as they don’t put a time limit on these things.

Here’s the Australian link

From my experiences and even other people i know that've had VW recalll issues.. theyll try and weasel out of anything unless you nail them.. like literally they will shift blame to onto anyone and anything except themself and try and extract any money if they can.

So incase they do.. you make 1 call to ombudsman with that document and ull be fine.

Its really just a message to anyone on this forum whos had issues with them not to roll over and take it up the arse like they would like u to

Cars just come back today. Took it for a drive myself and it feels so much better than it ever did before.

It was never as smooth as it is now. whatever change is in that software should have been done long ago

Good to hear =)

I'm guessing that this would wipe/override a DSG tune? Or are they different control units (or settings)?

Interested in the same... I've booked for the VW service campaign update, and have a booking at my tuner workshop the next day for dustless pads, and if needed, a refresh of the TCU software. Hoping the two work well together.

Cheers,
Matt.

Had my 4 year service yesterday with the DSG fluid changed. I went to a reputable independent as I was very unimpressed with the VW dealer not carrying out all the required items for the 3 year service.

Turns out my DSG fluid was 1.2 litres under filled from the factory. Apparently under filling isn't that uncommon for some reason. Pretty scary as it could lead to early failures. Don't wait too long for that DSG service everyone!
