DSG woes in The Age

[Rawcpoppa]

Seeing that VW says some mechatronic units have issues shouldn't we be able to find the new mechatronic unit part numbers in ETKA?

Just saw this on Facebook, it's an FAQ about the DQ200 Recall.

A 2009 recall for the DQ250 is listed on the ACCC recalls website:

Volkswagen—Volkswagen Golf, Jetta, EOS, Passat & Caddy Vehicles

But no-one seems to know about it now. Did anyone on here receive a letter back then? (I was happily driving a manual 2007 Golf at the time.)

Yes, I got a letter in 2009 (Mk6 TDI with DQ250) and had it done. It was a software issue and the car has the relevant sticker showing it was done.

Very important information for everyone here from the above link:

Q. Will my gearbox warranty be affected?

A. Volkswagen Australia will extend warranty cover for the all DSG transmissions from 3 to 5 years from the date the vehicle’s warranty first commenced (first date of registration and/or when the international warranty commenced).

Wow. Does this mean every single type of DSG will have an extra 2 years from warranty commencement? So cars back as far as 2008 (if within 5 year period) are covered?

I have no idea Re: 2008 mate, however if you bought lets say a 2010 Polo GTI / TSI / TDI then instead of it expiring in 2013...it will now expire 2015.


P.S Will be negotiating with Services manager of VWA (stuff asking dealers anymore) about extending my warranty at 50% cost price...*fingers crossed*

On the parts that were replaced. I don't believe that whole DSG would have extra 2 years warranty.
Is that what you expect now? To get 2 years warranty on every DSG?

Do you ever check VW policies before posting? VW has extended warranties in other countries to five years covering all dsg e.g. Singapore. Russia gets 10 years. It covers the entire dsg for those who haven't had parts replaced.

So far all of your posts over the last week in this thread basically attack posters for either asking understandable questions or for stating their displeasure with how VW has handled things despite their about facedness...

Maybe you should think more before you have a go at everyone.

Not everyone. Just you it seems. You don't offer links to back up anything but instead just come across angry that anyone would have any issues with VW.
Always opinion and hardly facts.
