Just to let you know, my Edition 30 which has DSG is playing up.
It's been back to VW and it requires a new Mecatronix (spell?) unit, VW are aware of this problem and the unit will be replaced no problem. Not all cars are affected.
The problem I noticed was the car would hesitiate when you go to pull away, nothing would happen then the car would jolt and move off, now taking to the guys tonight (in Telford) others have also had/heard of this problem, but in reverse gear, the car would suddenly shoot backwards when reverse was selected.
The car has been back to the dealers, they did a brief road check with me riding shotgun, confirmed yes it had the fault, car stayed with them for the day, they did some more checks on it and reprogrammed something (mecatronix unit?) then road test it, VW recommend 10 miles, the cheeky monkeys put nearly 30 on my car!!!! anyway it's failed and a new unit is on order, 2-3 weeks from VW. :laugh:
(they won't be putting 30 miles on it's next test run!!! :P)
I'll let you know what happens/how long... :happy2:
-
How old is the car and what is the mileage on the clock?
-
The car is 8 months old and has 3k on the clock

Thanks for posting this up MR Chops. Its reassuring to know that VW will replace this and also a good reference if other DSG cars develop this problem. :drinking:
-
....
I had a Mechatronics Module problem at about 6,000 miles and it was replaced under warranty. My understanding is that all DSG issues are dealt with beyond the dealership frontline. Am now approaching 63k miles.

Robin,
Any further problems?
Just waiting for the unit to come into stock now :party:
-
My Audi A3 DSG had this fault, but I also had extra issues of kangarooing and stalling :sick:
The mechatronic unit was replaced before I'd even reached 1k miles as it was a safety issue, especially after it had stalled whilst turning onto a main road! :scared:

....No further problems whatsoever. Occasionally a bit clunky from 1st to 2nd.

Thanks Robin.
Hurdy, mine was awefull running into work last night... :sad:
-
Mechatronic units run for around £4k as I recall. Not sure if VW will replace one out of warranty (which I am - 82k miles!). Marvellously complex things.. I sat in on some mechatronics lectures in uni, crazy complex stuff. Cool for building robots.

You sat in on some lectures? Are you mad? It was a core module for me... :indifferent: I did built a pretty cool robot that could guide it's self though.

My eee degree specialisations had more stuff in embedded and comms, but I was interested in the mecha stuff. I sat through about four lectures before my brain gave up :rolleye: all I know to do is throw microprocessors at stuff :P

Which is preceded by 'throw code at microprocessors...' :grin:

OY geeks stop spamming the thread. :wink: :laugh:

Hmm I used to be determined NOT to end up like a Geek when reading Physics at uni... like those saddos who would write poems based on 'Pi' or make jokes laced with engineering metaphors :sick: However, I've always envied the fact that I couldn't really relate subjects like Quantum Mechanics to everyday applications like you guys can. :sleepy: :sleepy:
Ooooops sorry, put myself to sleep there :grin: My mechantronics unit was dodgy from the start and after a year of putting up with it - kangeroo hops at low speeds - I had it replaced under warranty.

Mmmn, embedded RTOS... or in my case, simple loop :rolleye:
@Illyun, jokes laced with engineering metaphors?

UPDATE.
Part has now arrived, car is now running awful, eventually goes in on the 7th of April for possibly two days.
-
Car has gone in today, although nearly didn't as they told me they wanted to put 50 miles on the car testing it... :angry015:
So it's in... :confused:

Just for info, on the GolfGTI website, T_T has put the latest DSG Maintenance Manual.
:happy2:
-
Thanks I'll have a butchers later, apparantly the car is ready..so I'm off to collect it, also had the Oil and Filter changed too.
-
check the average speed, miles, for food or used condoms under the seat etc etc
50 miles.......pah :chicken:
-

stuffing your face or sex , like your style VC :happy2: , just how would you approach the service manager with said underseat item :signLOL:
good luck on the car Moshcops :happy2:
-
Well it's back home in the garage... :happy2:
1/4 tank fuel used and 41 miles on the clock. :chicken:
Had a bit of a blast on the way home, but I did notice it didn't change down when I thought it would, so will see how goes tomorrow morning on the run to work... :wink:
Service Manager cleaned the car himself too :happy2:
No blobs or crumbs under the seat VC... :rolleye:

£4k is for the whole DSG box, the mechatronics unit with software is a bargain at £1110 !! :wink: :laugh:
