Help with information about 2nd gear

<< < (2/3) > >>

stealthwolf:
I find mine's a bit difficult to engage second gear (coming from a higher gear), as is fourth and sometimes sixth gear. This only ever happens when I'm raggin the car round a corner and trying to change gear at the same time (as I'm coming out of the corner.

Mine all feel about the same

snapey:
I've got to nip down to VW tomorrow anyway to see them about the magic steering wheel which feels that it has to click with every 10 degree rotation and about the mega rattles coming from the center console so I'll have a word with them about it as well.

With regards to any issues I'd firstly say get in touch with the VW customer care as I did, I basically said the car no longer offered the involvement and experience that I first got when I purchased it and that the rattles are the only thing that I'm being drawn to and they I quote, "Will ensure that the issue is resolved, by doing all suitable diagnostics checks and correcting any faults", which I feel is awesome customer service and now the dealership has no grounds to refuse lol.

Amen.

Is you're a MY2007?

Apparently there was an 'assembly issue' with 2007 model Golf gear boxes.
My dad has had the same issue with his TSI Sport Golf and the dealers broke into the gearbox and replaced 2nd 5th & 6th cog iirc. I'm not very technical myself but if I understood correctly they had to 'break in' to cog 5 to gain acces.

This 'assembly issue' was also confirmed in an Auto Express used car feature on the Golf about a month ago. The dealer also replaced the clutch (but they insisted he paid for this) as they claimed this was 'quite worn' despite haing only covered 18,000 miles. Referred to VW cust services but they would't budge re the clutch bill.

Unfortunately, I don't actually know what the assembly issue was exactly.

snapey:
Yes the car is a 2007 model. Will be having words tomorrow then to see if there are any issues which are related to them.

Cheers for the heads up matey and I'll print a copy of that statement off for reference if you don't mind?

Many thanks,

Luke
