Hello everyone, new owner needs help. DSG problem

[akaneogeo]

Hello everyone here.
I like to thank everyone with all the information people has posted.
I just got my new 08 golf gti dsg and its sometimes jerks on stand still to 1st gear. I test drove it 2 times before I bought it from a private seller as I knew all to well about dsg jumping. The dsg oil was changed in June.
I have read that you can do a reset on the dsg using vcds. I have looked at the list of people with vcds but I can't pm them without posting 10, I am staring now.
If anyone can help me I live Orpington and I dont mind traveling for some help.

....Does the jerking usually happen when the engine is cold? DSG oil ideally needs to reach a warm operating temperature.

At what mileage was the DSG service done and what mileage is she on now that she's jerking?

....So didn't you show them this VOSA information?

I just checked the date of registration 20th June 2008. vosa recall start from 01.09.2008

....The dates VOSA give on the 'recall' are probably based on known information. As your build date is so close I would definitely speak to VW UK about it. The VOSAinfo might need revising.

You have nothing to lose by contacting them:  0800 083 3914.

Thanks for the number I will give them a call to see what they say.
I've got a forum member to help me to do a rest using vcds, hopefully tomorrow. If that don't work.
Can the dealers find out if I been tempering around with the ecu..... Will it void the recall?
