Also questions over the fact I'm running APR Stage 1 + Guy Harding's DSG tune.

If its a safety recall then they still have to replace it because they have admitted now that the specific part number if the mechatronics unit is covered is defective regardless.

Thought so, until Transporter post

So let me get this straight right.
VW now recalls about 25,000 vehicles that they are saying affected from June 2008 to Sept 2011.
Does this means that VW vehicles made after Sept 2011 does not have any DSG issues?
Was there some sort of changes made to the cars built after Sept 2011?

joe....

I'm confused is it only the 7 speed box? No recall on the six speed?

7 speed dry clutch is the one with the most issues. 6 speed dsg doesn't have anywhere close to the number of complaints for the 7 speed dsg. Recall was for the 7 speed in the other countries so this one most likely is too.

Sadly that is what I am lead to believe from The Age reporter, but lets wait and see what letters and communications get sent out.

If you or others have a problem with your transmission, just go and see your dealer about it. Why there should be a recall anytime someone has a problem with the car? In some cases, it even doesn't have to be the cars fault? Go and see your dealer, it's simple like that.

I don't see many Audi owners complaining about the same DSG and other faults, the price of the car must have something to do with it. :?

For sure if it was that bad with the DSG in the cars, the german VW owners would complain too, giving the fact that it is the one of the smarter countries where the system would be more efficient and the problem picked up sooner than somewhere else.
