My car is at 60k miles as of today and has had two DSG services, the latest being around 15k miles ago, this has never made any difference to the mechatronics side of the box on mine. The first DSG service did resolve a slight slip I had a couple of times just before the service was completed.

I suppose my next question then is.....Is the clunking getting worse, or has it always been the same?

There has always been a slight "clunk" between P & D, but over the past 5k it's been getting a lot worse. The main issue is the jurkiness of the 1st, 2nd & reverse gears  :sad1:

So the clunk happens when the drive swaps from gearset to gearset and only in those 3 gears?

Mainly yes, it has had the odd  :rolleye: moment with the other gears too, but the 1st, 2nd and especially reverse are the bad ones.

From that info I'd say it is when the changes are not under high load accelleration.

Did you mention whether you had taken the REVO DSG software off and back on or not?

If you haven't taken the REVO software off, then maybe you could try it back as stock. If you have taken it off then I'd say it could be either the mechatronics unit, a faulty gear sensor inside the box or a worn selector. When My box was in bits, one of the selectors had wear on it......at 22k miles.

None of this can really help  you (apart from diagnosis) as you already know that VW either change the mechatronics module or the entire box :sad1:

^^^ It's all useful information John :happy2:

Yes the REVO software is currently off and the stock software back on, it's actually worse on the stock software even agter re-doing the basic settings properly  :confused:

It's a proper "fork in the road" decision point for mine I think  :sad1:

^^^ Yes but not for a modified daily driver that's going to do 35-40k miles per year.

pretty much the exact same issues I have experienced over the past few months.

vw refused any warranty work for me due to my mods, you did well to get a second mech unit but to fail again so soon..  :scared:

I have found doing the dsg recalibration via vagcom once a week helps keep things smoothish, but it soon reverts to been clunky...

just on a side note, does anyone know how well they check over cars when you trade them in?
