The recalls page didn't know my registration. So I entered my reg. here to get my vin -

Same result with mine, thanks :smiley: How reassuring.

46G7 is a Service Campaign/Product Enhancement and not a recall as such e.g. you are not required to bring your car in specifically for the work to be carried out, it is only carried out as and when your car visits a retailer.

My Mk5 had its DM Flywheel and fuel pump changed under this system despite them telling me the fuel pump issue could cause a vehicle fire, can't see how that could be anything than a safety issue, suspect it to avoid having the bad publicity of issuing recalls.

I don't think my auto hold is working properly. Especially when compared to our A3. Maybe it works differently, or I'm not using it correctly.

I may contact the garage to see if this update is available for my car. Has anyone noticed a difference?

I might be being thick, but that model years does this affect as it doesn't say anywhere? I tried my reg number and it says no recall, but then as someone else mentioned that isn't necessary the case.

i've noticed if you come to a stop while breaking gently AH won't come on unless i push harder, i guess it's like this for rolling starts. just a shame it cuts out with the stop/start sometimes... :)
