DSG Recall - Anyone already done it?

[Jalopy]

We have received second letter car
Is booked in for the 7th

did they say how long it would take to repair and if you would get a loan car if more than a day?

It'll be guess work in part for us forum monkeys, but Not for VWA and their owner and vehicle data.

That's why I said "how would you know one way or the other". You would think that ascending VIN number would be the easiest to mail merge

Had it done today on my 2010 Golf. I haven't received the second letter yet, but when I had made the booking for scheduled service a month ago, I requested for the work to be done. When I spoke to the dealer yesterday though, they said if I've not received the letter than they won't necessarily have the part as supposedly VWA allocates them specifically to a vehicle. It was pretty much an all day job including the scheduled service. I dropped it off around 8:30 and they were still working on it when I got there at 5. Was told they had to load new software for it.

Wife's car went in on Wednesday (Skoda Octavia 118 ) to get clutches done and 3 service campaigns, they said if the parts for the recall were in stock they would do that too. 2 days for it all as that is how long it takes to do clutches got call Thursday arvo before I went to dealer to pick up and they said still not done due to staff absence would be done by Friday (today). Got call 2pm today and they said the guy is still sick so will need to get car next week (hopefully Monday)
I'm not complaining, they always give me a loan car and this this time it's a MY13 Audi Q3 so I said take as long as they need. Q3 is reeeeaaal nice to drive, quattro system on an Octy would be nice!!!

lol why is that?

Sometimes just doing the DSG reset procedure makes the car drive heaps better for ~a week without changing any parts. After changing the parts they have to do this reset procedure anyway. As time passes the DSG continues to adapt and behave differently. Funny this morning on the 10 minute commute to the train station I noticed by DSG was silky smooth and responsive compared to the usual cold start behaviour.

Out of curiosity, how many Km's are on your car?
The reason I ask is I have been told they are doing older / higher Km's vehicles first...

As mine has less than 10,000km's - they indicated that I could be waiting until the campaign ends.
That is in March 2014...
