Thanks Banham. :happy2:

Your car looks great too, the side skirts and the splitter flow nicely together, what splitter is that?


Thanks  :happy2:

As Robin said its an Osir front splitter (V4) with a carbon centre section.

Just a bit noisy in 2nd and 4th gears when gearing down, 2nd has been like it for ages (a year) and 4th has just started so thought might as well get it fixed. Vw have only 'looked' at the car and said there's graphite grease leaking and that can only come from the flywheel and they also suspect the mechatronics unit could be dodgy too going my the symptoms. The car drives nice and smooth and no other symptoms of jerking or anything... yet.

A bit annoying but nothing that can't get sorted. There's no point worrying about it, just drive and enjoy the car. :happy2:

Been given a couple of prices, depending on what will need changing:

- Flywheel, ~£1450
- Flywheel & Mechs, £2416.

I'm pretty sure DSG and manual flywheels are the same.

I take the FW is more of an involved job with the DSG hence the very high price there.  You'd get a clutch and FW done for A LOT less on the manual box.

Christ, at 2.5k I'd be thinking of trading it and let VW carry some warranty for the next owner, its still running smooth you say.

Don't you fancy an Ed35... :party:

With VW's labour at £102/hr, I can see where those high numbers came from lol! :grin: I did think about trading it in for an R or Ed35 but with my car valued at £8.5-£9 px, I can't justify spending an extra ~£14k, I'm not sure it's worth it.

My car has been out of warranty since Jan 2011 but I thought I'd try and ask them to put in for a warranty claim, no surprise it got rejected... After numerous phone calls here and there, i had a call from the Aftercare Sales Manager who said they'd agree to contribute 33% towards the final costs.I'm happy with that. :smiley:

They are different.  Both dual mass, but the manual has a clutch strapped to it, dsg doesn't as the clutches are in the box.

I have had to spend a few £££'s on the car recently...

Aircon re-gas, never had this done before so thought I'd better do it:




I have been driving a Polo courtesy car for over a week whilst my car has been in the garage. Nice little car, great sunroof but I don't like the DSG, needs a DSG remap lol.



So finally my DSG issues have been resolved, firstly a new mechatronics unit was fitted, didn't cure the noisy downshift, then new clutch packs fitted and DSG is now running very well.  :smiley:

So what did VW contribute bearing in mind they said the Mechatronics would cure your woes but didn't?
