Morning all
After buying my mk5 dsg I planned on getting it as near to spot on as I could ,along with a list of jobs to get done I also wanted to do preventative work , so after reading many threads on here I decided that a dsg oil and filter change were in order as at 115k and the gearbox being silky smooth I wanted to keep it that way ,anyway £150 lighter I collected the car and drove home it drove the same as it did before the oil change , however after about 4-5miles when the car came to a stop it was a terrible jerk when moving off again , then trying to reverse into the drive was a nightmare, it never did that before so I contacted the garage and they then told me its not recommended to service a high mileage dsg box as this usually happens and the better option is just to wait until it gives up .
Anyone else had this advice ?
They have informed me its not the mech unit that seems to be the common issue but the valve block and surprise surprise the warranty company don't cover that so looks like another 4 figure bill
