Thats great news, mine is currently sat at the dealers awaiting its new DSG unit today. They first of all tried the reset, worked for a short period, then it just was not smooth enough so, they said, 'we know th eunits fail, you know the units fail' so lets just get it changed.  :drinking: They have stated that they fit on average 1 DSG unit per week under warranty replacement.  :signLOL:

So glad you have yours sorted, you can now enjoy it  :pomppomp:

** UPDATE **  :happy2: Went to a different Dealer!!! :happy2:


South Hereford VW have agreed no questions asked to foot 100% of the mechtronics replacement. I only have to pay around £200 labour including the time they have already spent trying to solve the problem. They are not 100% sure this is the problem - They are thinking something could be wrong with the selector or something but would like to replace this first under warranty. Top Service!!!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

That is a good result.

mine is a 2006 so not covered in that letter, has anyone had theirs replaced before under warrenty?

Mine has (4 times now)  taken itself out of gear even though its still in 'D' and on the dash the 'P R N D S' all flash, i have to restart the car or on some occasions put it in to manual shift and back to 'D' to get it working :(
