DSG woes in The Age

[jctee]

No doubt everyone has read the Government Recall Site list - all VW's excluding Tiguan.

May it be assumed Tiguans are not affected, or is that a Government typing error ?

Tiguan is one of the few Vw's to use the DQ500 DSG box due to the higher torque requirements/soft-roading apparently.

For specifics on if your vehicle is covered, I would check with your closest reputable dealership

Exactly - the link on their site is targeted at potential buyers, not existing owners.

If there's a typo - it's from VW's notification to the government - no Tiguan

I guess we'll see updates on the Recall website for Audi and "other brands" in the coming days.

Having a look at the "other brands" is fun too.
Aston Martin, Rolls, Lotus, Maserati, Lambo, Bentley, TVR, Ferrari... And of course your Cherys and Geelys

From the Govt. Recall Site:
NB: Nothing under Audi or Skoda ("other brands") on the recalls site

Skoda, Volkswagen's Czech-based budget offshoot, has also announced a recall of 1746 Octavia and Superb cars equipped with the seven-speed transmission

My comment still stands - there is no recall for Skoda or Audi on the government Recalls site.

That doesn't mean it's not going to happen, just that it's not up on the site.

Dude, it was announced a couple of hours ago. You honestly think a government department updates their website that quick?

I thought 28 days is the norm in Australia?
