In all seriousness I wonder what they are going to do at this inspection. What could they do. They arent going to rip every box out to check clutch wear. They will most likely keep them for 2 hours, drive them around the block and give you the key back saying yours is OK.

Looks like it's happening. Mine is in that range but guess I'm fine since I've had a whole new DSG put in

Well, my 2010-11 Polo broke down on Sunday night and only heard about this recall this morning. The car had to be towed to a holding yard and then taken yesterday to the closest VW service centre to where I broke down (annoyingly, it's far from where I live). I've just tried calling VW Customer Care and General Enquiries (should be open now according to their website) but both numbers just get a busy tone. Just wondering how this recall would affect the car since it's currently already broken down and with them at the moment.

Well, your car break down doesn't even have to be related to the recall. Your car could stop for many reasons since it's buit from the thousands of parts , the one of the reason your car stopped could be well a dirty fuel (not covered by the manufacturer warranty).

I would wait for them to come to me with the diagnose first.

If it's DSG related and there is a fix, they maybe just fix yours while it's there.

Well either way, the few problems I've had with my Polo has really turned me off VW and this was the last straw. Going to trade it in and get a Toyota or Hyundai. My last car was a Corolla and had no problems with it for the 5 years that I had it. Polo was nice to drive, but I buy brand new cars for peace of mind and the Polo's problems have left me car-less enough to get rid of it and move on

Good on you.
