2009 DSG control units recalls
« on: March 04, 2016, 11:55:29 am »
Hello

Just called my local VW dealer to see if any recalls are due or done on my 08' GTi

The lady informed me that in 2009 it had a recall for the control units in the DSG - i've tried to have a look around the Internet to see what happened, why it was a recall, was it the dreaded mechatronics and what exactly was done. All I can find it American DSG related stuff - anyone else have this done on there car or can shed some light

Much appreciated

I've asked at one of the local VW dealers if my MY2008 Ed. 30 DSG had any recall pending and was told none was made for my car.

I've read about this but the batch of DSG was identified and all recalled. I think most affected Chinese cars.

@Shoduchi thanks for the reply

How can I check what market or where the car was made?

I'll try to find the link for the topic where I read it again. It might have been in the vwvortex forum... It affected MY2009 cars. Mine was built in Feb/2008. The dealer should be able to tell you when your car was built. If it was build after Jul/2008, it´s a MY2009.

If yours had a recall, was the repair done or if not, can you still do it?
