When I'm driving round town in bit of traffic car cannot make up it's mind to be in 1st our second gear and starts crashing into first then second etc, spoke to vw today and the mechanic who was dsg trained told me it's normal in traffic and car should be fine on run?

........what ''mode'' is the box in when in town?.
-
Just normal drive, it's fine when in manuel mode
-
i smell mechatronic failure. I suggest you take it for a diagnostics asap before it bursts out. What does it mean 'normal in traffic and car should be fine on run'? Either it works fine all the time or it doesn't.
-
Sounds like Mecatronic problems ? :wink:
-
I started to wish I'd gone for DSG with all of the problems I'd had with the clutch on my car, that said, seems even DSG can be pretty sh1tty at times. VW's suck :cry:
-
The guy told me at vw that problem has been sorted in 2008 and that the dsg boxes are fine, going to call them Tommorw to bring this to there attention

Yes he's right in a way but you can still get the odd one coming through with this problem.... :wink:

Doesn't sound very normal to me, mine doesn't play up like that....it smooth in all gears!
-
A mate of mine had a similar problem with his Superb. Then one day. he pulled out of a junction, it changed into second with a bang, and made a grumbling sound ever after. One new gearbox to replace the 15,000 miles original and all is well again.
-
mechantronics issues are not as common these days but defiantly a few out there, never fancied owning a dsg car out of warranty
-
Took car out on a nice drive today and was fine even round town, car is booked in to be checked over on Wednesday tho
-
Car is now f##ked crashing into gears revving on it's own when driving etc just called out vw assistance not sure if they can fix it on drive tho,
-
Bad times mate, hopefully even if he can't fix it he'll tell you it needs a new mechatronic unit and then VW will fit one.
-
Sorry to hear this, hope the dealer sorts out for you.
Have to admit though I specifically chose a manual because of the issues the DSG can cause, my mate worked for Audi as a service manager and scared the hell out of me with how troublesome they can become.
-
Vw assit bloke just left he said def a mechotrnic prob and have to take to dealer on wed, hope they turn a blind eye to the miltek and remap but how could that affect a electrical unit not a mechanical one ??
-
Sad times pal esp as its still so new, hope the dealer does a quick turn around...
-

This should be an interesting Warranty claim they may try and blame the map?? Hope its sorted ASAP i'm sure it will be fine keep us posted on here.... :wink:
-
Maybe if it was engine our turbo our the clutch pack our box but I'm sure it's the electronic side not mechanical so just have to wait and see, I won't let any tech
Work on my car I make sure it's same guy all the time and he is on a level and knows not to touch ecu
-
hopefully they will be ok with the map, I had a new clutch and slave a few weeks ago despite the fact they knew it was mapped. similarly they had it in for 4 days this week to look at the clutch again, even though they know it's mapped.. good luck... :smiley:
-
Thanks will keep posted
-
Cars been left for 24hrs so took it around the block and was fine? So took her on a longer run and blast only for it to start crashing into gears again and jurking once warmed up, stupid Fing!
-
Thats Mecatronic for sure , new gear box needed or the unit, also ask them for a loan car until its fixed :wink:
-
Picked up a golf diesel dsg what vw assistance supplied today and it's so much smother then mine and has 10k not 2k, going to local revo dealer first to put stock Map on just incase they try and play up at dealer,as I'm sure they can't say much about the miltek exhaust on it's own
-

Get the switch off them and flick it back to standard? :smiley:
-
Hopefully will work our I'm skint lol
-
Vw tech got back to my dealer after they sent thro a download, they have been told to check dsg oil level and test drive car? If it turns out its dry then surely it could be damaged due to incorrect level
-
Vw called just to tell me that the reset and oil change has not made no difference, there now waiting for vw tech to go to next stage

Vw called today to ask to return hire car so they could put me in there own, when I got there they Said they were no longer willing to look at car unless I pay due to remap on vehicle, they gave me back my keys and said laters
-
You people are crackers remapping new cars no wonder VW have spat their dummy out. Why couldn't you wait till it was out of warranty, this could now cost you big bucks.
-

OMG :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:
Is it worth trying another dealer, after the car is returned to standard and Milltek removed, or is it now logged on the VW system.

Wow that's a first , have you tried another dealer? :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: I would also let Revo know ASAP.

Very disappointing attitude from VW, sorry to hear this, guess your fuming.
-
I've been told it's lost its warranty full stop by vw uk, they gave me my keys and said it's down to me basically. I'm going to call them tommorw and try to come to some arrangement about fixing it as the problem was reported weeks ago. Im sure it's on vw system now.

Speak to Revo mate, they may sort it out ?
-
I'm sure revo would say it's nufink to do with us
-
I'm sure revo would say it's nufink to do with us
Its going to be about proving it was the map that caused the mecatronic to over heat , and its just not the case as you I know faulty gearbox end of really, but maybe get an independent engineer or ask revo if they are willing pay for the unit? If you don't ask you don't get also speak to Lee who works at Cheltenham VW he maybe able to advise you or even sort your car out? Good luck :wink:
PM evo1986 Aka Lee ask his advice?
-
Cool thank u for your faults and help m8
-
They are now on the case of people remapping cars.......I will post the info that was published on our intranet a week or so ago. Problem is you take that risk the moment you touch it and people know the risks but hope nothing goes wrong but when it does go wrong it's never cheap.
-
Anyone want to buy a gti ? Lol
-
Might be worth trading it in else where.........
-
Nah I couldn't do that, but how pissed I am at the min I'd have the manuel, are u interested in fixing up car if I have no luck with dealer ?
-
Not really interested in the car as it will of been logged about its issues and warranty claim attempts logged.
-
Maybe good price on labour and parts ?
-
Sorry to hear this Ed35 chunk, sad times...feel for you man!!!
-
Lol cheers going to be a long day just can't wait to get her fixed up was thinking of putting it back stock but as warranty is now out the window might aswell get a gt30 turbo kit and updated clutches lol
-
Cud you not put things back to std then take out a new warranty from another company and get it sorted that way......sorry if it sounds a bit dimm, just trying to think of solutions!!!
-
Yes but I'm sure if I called up with a new car they would ask why I have no dealer warranty, might just tel my dealer to fix it at a good rate seeing as it's 16 weeks old our call a local transmission garage
-

Oh yeah, D'oh.... :undecided:
Still really don't understand vdubs stance on this tho, as your not the only one who has a remapped car and is in need of some warranty work at the mo...
Grrrrrrrrr VW Grrrrrrrr!!!!! :angry:
-
Will keep u posted on how I get on tomorrow dont tel me u have prob?

Naaa mate, pm'd :wink:

Think I posted earlier in this thread but can't remember and can't be arsed to look! But I had a clutch and slave fitted after roughly 4k / 3 months even with a remap, dealer fully aware and it was showing via diagnostics, one of the master techs was very anti-remap and another loved them, the technician who worked on my car said it pulled like a train. Gutted for you. VW would have to prove it is the remap causing the fault, pressure them and please don't give in and pay.
If it's through finance perhaps you could inform them that the car is broken and VW are refusing the fix, ultimately it's their car so perhaps they can pressure VW. Not sure how that would go down with the car being modified tho.
VW executive office = 08443754625
Give them a call and bypass customer services who are useless :angry:
-
Thanks m8 will do and my point to vw was exactly what u said

Did you post that info lee, what are they actually checking?
-
Did you have any luck with the dealer Ed35 chunk?
-
Costumer service called and said they have spoke to vw tech and they have said after the remap witch affects drive shafts suspension engine turbo gearbox etc there is nufink they can do unless I can prove it's a problem with manufacturing of the component that's damaged, and shortly after the dealer called saying they will pay 2hours of diagnostic time and that's it

How much is it to fix DSG box i.e. new mecatronic unit ? :undecided:

Ouch man! Not what I was hoping to here...I was hoping they wud come to a compromise.
Where do you go from here?
-
Blimey, this a bit of a shock as already said there are many people with warranty claims and re-maps. What has changed at VW? If they are washing their hands of this you need to challenge them on why not fix yours when others have been fixed, nothing to loose now. :sad:
-
There also worried about giving me a loan car on Monday, I had to promise I'd give it back to them lol. There only willing to give me 2hrs to look at finding the problem. Hopefully it's the mechotrnic unit as they will replace this if it's faulty.

Wouldn't do that. A lad with a Leon K1 tried that and Seat finance defaulted the agreement and demanded the full balance up front. Left the boy in a right mess as the car was worth about 6k less than the settlement.

I misunderstood VW's position so let's hope it is the mechatronic unit then.

Ole this gets sorted as lest be honest tuned K04 cars have been around since 07, I have a couple of mod friendly dealers and in fairness if I had a concern I'd get a stock file flashed
There is always risk but in reality I'd be bored of the Ed35 now if standard and never cara more than three years and I don't intend to max it out in terms of BHP and look after the thing
Some people think you are mad and some don't modify, I had a gearbox issue on my rocco (when modded) which was replaced
-
I just hope it's not the clutch pack our it's going to be expensive, told dealer if they don't help me out I won't be buying the mk7 gti from them
-

I doubt they'll be distraught at the thought. I doubt very much they'll have a brand new MkVII GTI sitting about on the forecourt desperate for a buyer ...
-
There are so many mapped GTIs with DSG that have not had any problems :angry:
For them to turn round and say sorry it's mapped so do one stinks IMO, especially on such a new car that cannot have that many miles on ? surely Vw would just send the dodgy mechatronic unit back to the manufacturer anyway :sad: I presume they buy them in and not manufacture them in house ?
Have you spoke to your Tuner ?
As They will not want any bad press that their maps can cause gearbox failures !!
Feel for you bud and hope This gets sorted out.

From Revo's site,
Our philosophy is to provide the best possible products available in our marketplace and to market these products so that the consumer perception follows suit. The attributes that Revo Technik cares the most about are technology, user features, value, and vehicle performance.
Revo Technik is the industry world leader in terms of technology, features, and value. Our aftermarket products incorporate the ability to run a variety of engine performance modes, disable the vehicle completely where necessary, and in some cases make minute changes specific to a customer vehicle. All of this is done by working with, instead of against, the original vehicle systems. The vehicle can be completely returned to its original state at any time.
Revo Technik is the answer for the customer who wants the most from their car without any sacrifice in drivability. Revo Technik’s tuning is at the forefront in terms of performance, efficiency and smoothness. All our software is tuned to maximise the performance of your car safely, within the tolerances of the cars engine and hardware. Increased development is done on all areas of the program to ensure Revo software gives you the best performance and more importantly the most enjoyable 'drive' from your car.
All of this is aimed to enhance the vehicle, to make it more pleasant and rewarding to drive under all driving conditions.
If VW are blaming the map of putting excess stress on the car ?
Then Revo ? have sacrificed the driveability and is not within safe tolerances as it is designed ?
I presume it has been mapped by revo/ superchips/ APR ? And not just a back street garage with a laptop,
As all the decent tuners will have safety guidelines with their maps as to not damage it
Worth a try Chunk :wink:

Car has 2700 miles and was picked up march 15th, miltek turbo back and revo stage 2 tuned at there head office.

I'd ring Revo and tell them the problems you are having and see what they say bud
-
Will do it's in dealers on Monday to try and find the prob I just pray it is mechatronic unit,
-
Just read this thread - VW are playing a bit hard there :angry:
I hope it is the mechantronic that's the issue and it's a warranty repair.
-
Cars now in stealers everyone pray for me, been given a polo for meanwhile :sad: what a sh!t box!

Really getting wound up now! Vw called and said they can't work on car because they cant read the codes what they need to send to vw tech, so I said wipe the ecu back to stock then carry on and fix it, They just called to say there not going to put it back to stock that's down to myself! So I have to go and collect car and take it to local revo dealer to wipe it then I have to take it back to steallers

What a lot of hassle, the dealer appears to be being particularly difficult, good luck
-
The guy I spoke to said yes good idea we will wipe it then find prob etc, then when they said they wont wipe map I said I will ask revo dealer to pop round and wipe it if poss, oh no they replied not on are grounds u will have to do it outside the gate lol, how much can a man take before he flips!

Very disappointing attitude from VW, sorry to hear this, guess your fuming.
Raffe, you can't be serious, surely you don't expect VW to just let people play around re-mapping and adding bolt-ons then just accept all warranty claims without question? I really can't believe that some people get a new [relatively expensive] car then immediately start tinkering with it and expect VW to foot the bill when things go pear shaped.

if the problem is genuinely caused by the remap, then no, VW shouldn't cover it........
but things aren't always that simple!!!
my clutch started slipping after a remap. was it caused by the remap? well probably accelerated by that. but the actual problem was a leaking slave, so the slave was replaced and so was the clutch. may not have known for a few months if it wasn't for the map as the extra power in conjunction with the leaky slave probably caused it to slip, so who should fix that? as it happens VW did

I take your point ScottA, but a leaking slave cylinder drew their attention to the remap, and as any sensible business would, they probably looked at whether the problem could be connected to the remap [Which it can't be imo] and obviously in theirs too, so they sorted it, and rightly so in that case. I don't know what BHP/torque you're running but have you checked that it doesn't exceed the safe working limits for the drive train? Frankly I would never consider a remap as you're just asking for trouble really [Not just from a warranty point of view]
-
The dsg box is so say made to last the life of the car if serviced correctly, there is no way less then 1000 miles of my remap has caused this prob.

I was commenting on the unproffessional way in which the customer was treated to ensure they got their hire vehicle back :kiss:
My stance on this is if you gamble your warranty modifying your car then you have to be able to accept the possibility you may pick up a big bill if something you change has a detrimental effect on other components on the car.
If you can't take the risk, spend more and buy a faster car out the box, or less on a ar which has taken the depreciation hit, but is without warranty.

You should speak to Hurdy then. His modded ED30 was regularly thrashed and never gave him a days trouble.
Remaps are very safe when done properly. Its weak components or improper maintenence that let the side down. Plenty of people run them without trouble :smiley:

Spot on Raffe; I agree with your stance there. I think some people who modify their cars don't appreciate the knock-on effects on other components, not just the engine.

Yea def not happy with way I've been treated, I've been tuning cars for years and never had a problem on any of them, car is now stock excluding the turbo back milltek hopefully Tommorw will find out the fault and report back with good news that there going to repair my car for free and the boss will let me smash is wife for the hassle. Oh and tank of vpower :laugh:
-
It was your choice to modify the car and they have every right to void the warranty if they wish.

Its not weak components. As they're designed to work within a set limit. When that limit is raised by 30-40% the components limit isn't raised with the electronic map.
With this case it might be poorly manufactured/assembled components which the map has accelerated the deterioration of them.
Unfortunately I dont think VW are going to change their stance on this :sad:
-
@ Wayne so what part of vw u work for then Wayne dnt tel me customer services lol u sounds just like sum prat from there
-
Any news today Ed?? Just read the post. Best of luck with this dude!
-
not yet m8 tomz hopefully
-
I do not work for VW and sorry but I will stand by what I said in that you modified it and therefore invalidated the warranty.
You must have known the risks.

Still laughing :grin:

Lol
Yes there are risks involved but seeing as the OP has modified cars for a number of years I'm sure they are well aware of the risks.
The fact this car has developed a problem so early on in its life (and its not the first MK6 to do) would suggest a manufacturing fault but we can only speculate.
Modifying is fun; you only live once :cool:
-
Lol remember I reported a prob at less then 600 miles car was tuned around 1000
-
Lol remember I reported a prob at less then 600 miles car was tuned around 1000
Can you prove this to the dealer/VW Head office??
If you can I would go down that route...
But as others have said I can understand VW's stance - but don't agree with the dealers way of handling the situation...
-
At least they are trying to find the fault for free unless it goes over 2 hrs then it's 100pounds a hour labour, when I first reported the fault it was booked in for end of august witch was when they could sort me a loan car, only got car in sooner as a called vw asstance when it got real bad
-
Both the Golf GTI and GTD are available with a choice of six-speed manual or six-speed DSG automatic gearbox. Volkswagen’s seven-speed DSG gearbox is not offered; the reason for this is that while the six-speed version can be paired with high torque engines (up to 350 Nm), the seven-speed variant is more effective in combination with smaller engines with torque outputs of up to 250 Nm. All gearboxes in the Golf are filled with lifetime oil and require no routine maintenance....
Just got into vw press office website and got this information what can they say about my remap now there 6 speed box can be paired with high torgue engines

Volkswagen’s seven-speed DSG gearbox is not offered; the reason for this is that while the six-speed version can be paired with high torque engines (up to 350 Nm), the seven-speed variant is more effective in combination with smaller engines with torque outputs of up to 250 Nm. All gearboxes in the Golf are filled with lifetime oil and require no routine maintenance....
Just got into vw press office website and got this information what can they say about my remap now there 6 speed box can be paired with high torgue engines
do you know what it was running... more than 350Nm I bet so be careful with that

Maybe the rs3s will start having trouble soon?

Well 350nm is around 258lbs ft, standard a mk6 GTI is 280nm so you not got a lot to play with :undecided:

This is another DSG box which is designed for higher outputs of 450Nm I think and has more plates. Number of gears is not a factor. The 7 spd 250Nm box is dry the rest are wet (oil filled).

I think a stage 1 ED30/35 has around 400Nm.

Loads of people running Stage 2 etc with no adverse affects.......

I ran Stage 2 on a MK5 DSG for four years with no issues in fact if anything it made the DSG even better.

That's what I like to hear

Been running 330 plus ftlb of torque for a l o n g time - no probs :wink:

I have an oct 2009 mk 6 gti with 20000kms on her and the dsg was acting up when stopping at traffic lights , the car would jerk slightly when you stopped. On the move it was fine , so took it to dealer and they tell me a new gearbox is required , it's been covered by warranty so I'm lucky but I'm shocked that this has happened with so little miles on the car. Hopefully it will be good as new !

Is yours mapped?
-
times are hard for every industry - i should know i deal with warranty parts claims on a regular basis now - just like insurance companies they will do ANYTHING to get out of paying.
but to be brief
1, you car had a possible fault
2, you still remapped it
3, vw have done what any dealer / company will do these days - tell ya to go forth and multiply
I do feel for ya mate, but you havent got a leg to stand on - sorry - you modified the car from OE specifications - read the small print ( not that i think you need to )
-
Mine is totally standard ......
-
I thought this box had a stamp on it indicating max torque somewere. I maybe getting mixed up with the manual. I remember reading it in the tech breifs a few years back.
-
Vw are saying if dealer tells them it's not to do wiv remap then they will pay ie mecatronics our box it's self if it's clutches then there not

Vw called today just been told I need a whole new box and that I'm not covered under warranty, I also asked did they top up the oil in the box to witch they replied yes a litre! Oh so my box was dry then?
-
:shocked: :shocked:
I presume you're going to contest the decision? :undecided:
-
Hell yea after they told me they put a litre of dsg oil in the box
-
Hell yea after they told me they put a litre of dsg oil in the box
Indeed - I knew it needed servicing but was under the impression you didn't need to top up the oil in-between services!
Good luck :afro:

IIRC The boxes take up to 7 litres of oil from dry
-
I would be asking for a copy of their engineers report so you can go back to the tuners and see what they have to say... and then see where to take it from there...
I think VW have made their position 100% clear... & I have to say I'm not surprised with the outcome... :sad:
-
On vw website it says the dsg box comes with a lifetime of oil and needs no maintance?
-
Nice of them to add some oil to a box that's already f**ked and needs replacing :s
You took it to a bad garage, however you should have put it back to standard, anything involving the gearbox is a major warranty claim and they will try and weasel out of it
-
Best of luck with the issues with VW Ed35 Chunk.
I have always thought about mapping my cars but never done it for exactly the reasons being experienced. I think I will just stick with my std car again and be happy that if it does go wrong I wil have minimised the risks.
-
Trying to get a deal from dealers about fixing it then maybe part ex for a rs3 after my dealings with vw today not happy
-
Sorry to hear this, it does sound like they've(dealer) made some school boy errors by admitting to you they've topped the DSG oil up so hopefully you've got a case :wink:
Good Luck!!!
-
They told me it dont matter they filled it up it's still out of warranty lol bunch of jokers also don't matter what we say on our website u got no warranty
-
Sorry to hear that Ed! :-(
I think we should all take Ed's misfortune as a lesson not to tinker with the workings of our already impressively powered machines, especially the ones under warranty. I know I certainly will.
Thanks for sharing this with us and keeping us updated mate.
:-(
-
They have not even found the fault there just saying it's new box lol
-
Modifying a vehicle does not automatically release a manufacturer from their responsibility to repair it if there are components which have failed due to manufacturing error or defect.
Has the dealer told you what has actually failed inside the 'box? Because that's what I'd be asking. Without this information no one can say whether the modifications were a contributing factor to the failure or not.
As new DSG gearboxes are still prone to failure, it is reasonable to ask this.
I completely understand VW's stance on this but I don't think you should give up just yet.

^^ Agree but also need to address the issue with Revo see what they have to say ?

I bought a brand new caddy DSG in 2007 that had a faulty gearbox from the off - this is madness :sick:
PM me with your contact details and reg for your car to see if I can help you fight this :wink:
To avoid this happening to you DON'T FLASH YOUR CARS ECU with a bluefin or REVO type device then take it to a main agent for major warranty work - if you must remap your vehicle have the ECU removed and flashed on the bench - you'll get no tell tale signs that it's been mapped afterwards or flash counters - been saying this for a while now but everyones self flashing MAD lol.
ALSO certain big brands are terrible for leaving their own code everywhere inside the programing of the ECU hence the dealer not being able to communicate properly with the car - not so bluefin or alientech devices.
ALWAYS flash your ECU on the bench while in warranty if you dont want this to happen to you.
ALWAYS flash the car back to FULL stock when going into the main agent for CATASTROPHIC FAILIURE OF A MAJOR PART.
This is my opinion not that of CST btw :wink:
I'll write up a full do's and dont's on this :wink:

Ed35 chunk - you have been really unlucky with this. Sorry to hear about it.
Remapping has been going on for many years, VW know about it as does every other manufacturer.
They have however fixed many, many cars under warranty that have been remapped or otherwise modified, this is the first case I've heard about of VW taking this stance, is this what evo was refering to with his post about an internal memo? (no details from him btw).
I think legally you won't have much luck as VW are covered by the warranty terms.
If VW UK are going to be this difficult from now on then we all need to know.
Who's the dealer btw?
-
Maybe that was the memo, heritage vw of Bristol, no way am I going to pay the 4grand for a new box

It's VW Germany that have the issue, they made the cars warranty void as soon as they communicated with the car, VW UK and his dealer didn't seem to have issue, but they are the monkeys not the organ grinder.....

Dealer told myself today that there was no oil in the dsg box when they tried to empty and refill, they refilled it only to still tell me I had to pay 4k for a new box lol spoke to customer services who where also aware my car had not enuf oil in the gearbox and they also backed up that I have full warrenty on my car excluding powertrain after the remap. Vw tech has requested pictures of box to look for leaks, if there are no leaks then it's down to vw for not filling my box! But I've been warned they stil car void the work as the remap might have to do with the loss of oil due to more power witch is crap
-
Well that's a ray of sunshine and hope.
If it was out of oil that'd explain the problems you had - I just wonder why it had no oil?! Surely no matter what you do to the engine in terms of mapping would cause it to burn oil (I could understand if something had broken due to increased torque etc.) - surely it must be a leak or perhaps it was never filled in the first place?!
-
Well there's hopefully light at the end of the tunnel but after some of the sh!t they have talked to me I'm sure they will have a excuse and blame the map lol

I'm sorry, so they may admit that they didn't fill it correctly but aretry to tell you it's your fault for mapping!? That's a claim under consumer's rights straight away if they make you pay!
Not to kick you whilst you're down, but waiting to tinker with the car until it's done 1000 miles is adivisable. That tends to be when production niggles show, especially considering you were having problems with the box.
They're out of order though trying to knock this claim on its head though.
How long until VW class the DSG as a wear part, and exclude the warranty on it completely do we think!? :angry:
-
Just when I fault the problem was coming to a end. Vw garage now telling me there was some kind of mistake and that they did not empty it out they topped it up with half a litre, so there now charging me to find the problem in the box :cry:

I would challenge them on the story change and ask for a copy of the report so you can see what has been done. Might not resolve the issue but worth asking the question if it helps progress this?

What have REVO had to say about all this?
Jim
-
Kev from revo called vw costumer services and had a chat but didn't get no where
-
I'd want them to do a little more than that. I'd want them to produce a technical eport stating that the map had absolutely nothing to do with issues with the DSG.
It's in their best interests in my view as people will become wary of using their maps is there's a chance their maps kill your cars....
Jim
-
I thought most recognised tuners gave a guarantee if their map caused damage?
VW are saying its the map, Revo are saying its VW. I don't see any blame on the customer!
-
We will find out what prob is on monday when they take box out of car to find fault

VW will use any excuse to get out of a warranty claim if you have gone outside of the terms of the warranty, which by remapping the car the owner has.
REVO producing a report isn't going to prove anything more to VW, as VW are the manufacturers of the DSG box so they set the rules of the it's operation, so by the owner choosing to increase the power of the car there is VW's get out clause regardless of this being the cause of the failure.
I believe the box in Chunks car would have failed either way with or without the map. The type of issue I understand he has is most likely down to a mechatronics failure, which is a part generally unaffected by the power output of the engine. This to me could only be damaged if the oil in the box got too hot, which increasing the power 'could' cause.
-
I fault the box had it's own cooling. Also how could I get the box that hot on the road, it's only had small blasts never no more then a burst thro the gears surelly that's not enuff to cook mechtrnics

I have previous run two DSG cars for over 120k Miles combined, both remapped and driven pretty hard (multiple track days and a trips to the Nurburgring etc) and by changing the oil every other service I never had an issue that required a new box. On my Mk5 ED30 I had a mechantronics unit replaced under warranty (while at Stage 2) due to lurching at slow speeds, slow response and clunking noises when moving between D, P and R. My Mk6 never had any issues over the 50k I owned it.
My current GTD has 20k on it now, which is remapped and DSG and again no issues. 90% of the miles driven have been on REVO remaps on these cars too. The first 15k I did on my Mk5 ED30 was remapped by Superchips.
-
Sounds like it is the mechatronics on mine then Steve I hope it is as I'd be a lot better off lol
-
We buy any car . Com
Even if you spend £1000 or £5000 grand fixing it your still left with a car with no warranty.
Get it back of them ASAP, sell it, take the loss and buy something else not a vw obviously and get on with the rat of your life.
Once bitten!
Sorry to hear about this btw.
-
Wrong m8 if they supply and fit a new box it has 2 years warranty, if I leave it stock that is, as for the car apart from loosing it's engine warrenty it still has full 3 year warrenty on everything elese, think I'm going to hold on to car as it's still the only one in uk in reflex silver I believe witch just happens to be my fav :smiley:
-
I wouldn't believe a word they say.
What happens if your turbo goes or some else engine ralated? You know what's next.... I'm sorry sir I don't know who told you that but it Vw uk says you don't have a warranty as of July 2012.
I'm sorry I just don't trust big company's.

Thought they wouldn't replace your box unless you pay £4000 for it, so you are gonna be badly out of pocket. No way are VW going to pay for it cos of your remap. Think you've been taught a hard lesson tbh.
-
The dealer and vw have told me only my powertrain is not under warrenty. If I have a new gearbox that comes with a warrenty also,
-
I think I will ask for it in writing just incase
-
But who is paying for the new box?
-
I'd be concerned about all future warranty work on the car considering they know your car is mapped and they have an issue with it.
Jim
-
"only your powertrain" but that's a damn lot that can go wrong :lipsrsealed:
-
Yep the power train sounds like it will have the biggest bills.
If it was me it would be gone ASAP.
But the best of luck to you pal I hope it all works out for you.
-
If it turns out it is the mechatronics there paying if it's the clutch pack I have pay, I've been told this by the dealer customer services and executive office, car Is being looked at tommorw so fingers crossed it's mechatronics,

If they say no shall we all chuck in a tender to help out?
Must be at least 400 members - shame on you VW

If they say no shall we all chuck in a tender to help out?
I'm up for that and I very much doubt I'll be buying a VW/Audi again any time soon - not just because of this, but because of the problems I've had with both (A3 & GTI) so far. I don't particularly like BMW's but I think a M135i may be on the cards next.

where do i start. fu!king stupid co!k sucking french car loving b!stards,
-
:grin: What happened?
-
its alright im cool now, here is my plan... ive told the dealer to tell vw uk its the mechatronics as they cant make up there mind what it is, out of the clutch pack our mechatronics. hopefully they will replace the tronics as im sure its not affected by my remap, if not then not sure what to do. i mean do i just pay 700 for clutches and hope that it is them our maybe if i have to do the tronics.. madness.
-
Surely if they can't figure it out they could just replace the mechtatronic? If that doesn't iron it out you will have to come back with 700 to fix the other part?
-
im willing to do that
-
Either way ide get shut of that car once this is over
-
Only got it until mk7 is here
-
Either way ide get shut of that car once this is over
But the whole internet knows it's history now.
I'd get it fixed, even if it leaves you out of pocket, and enjoy it for a good few years to at least get some monies worth out of it. If you sell it, you'll take a massive lose on it anyway, so which ever way you look at it, you took the gamble by modding it, and unfortunately lost this time.
-

This sounds like a sensible root to go down...
-
The plan was to change every year so might just keep it till march then get the mk7 if it's as good as the rumors, as for the history the car still has it's warrenty just not the engine unless I sell it put a aftermarket warrenty on car

All the best fella.

Audi of bath do abt remaps witch are so say covered by vw Audi warrenty ?
-
My guess would be the remap they offer in house will have this agreement, if they think it causes no harm then warranty will be kept:
http://www.volkswagenracing.co.uk/performance-parts/faq/
Is manufacturer’s warranty affected?
Yes, for those aspects of the engine and drivetrain that the manufacturer can prove were affected by any upgrade, any warranty claim will be rejected. All other aspects of the vehicle’s warranty should remain unaffected. Any parts from our range that are faulty or incorrectly installed will be replaced by us. Please note that this range of parts is intended for use within the United Kingdom, if you intend to use the car elsewhere it is your responsibility to establish the situation with regard to your manufacturer/other warranty.

Gary kitchen from vw called today, basically it's out of the tronics our the clutch, I've told them if problem is clutch I will pay for it and take it on da chin! But dealer dont know out of the 2 what it is? I've told them I'm not willing to fix clutch for it to end up being the tronics well if it is the tronics we maybe will fix it. Maybe I said why can't u tell me if it is under warrenty our not? We dont know if it is he tells me? So I asked for him to call there warrenty guys witch he won't do?
-
Do I have clutches done at 700 pounds only 2 find out it is the tronics at 2k fitted then bill is 2700 pounds. If they can pin point the issue and tell me that the tronics if under warrenty our not would make it so much easier
-
i just caught up on this thread. has the dealer checked if your dsg has the latest software update? and also do you know if they've tried resetting the adaptations? its a long shot but has worked for me a couple of times.
in fact you should be able to ask them for a full diagnostic report, a brief of what has been tested and the results etc.. for example have they ruled out some sort of part throttle overboost issue causing the torque to spike and confused the gearbox? if the problem is only apparent in steady traffic driving, and developed long after the tuning was done then you can say with 99% certainty the remap is not the cause.

It crashes in to 1st when slowing then gets jurky and revs rise on own whilst moving at 60mph plus
-
revs rise, as in the clutch is slipping?
-
Yes this is why vw are saying clutch but there still saying mechatronic also?
-
well the clunking in to 1st gear is the common failing mechatronic symptom, clutch slip is something else. i can see why your dealer is having some troubles here!
-
Also vw can't make up there mind about the mechatronic unit they can't tell me if it's covered our not
-
Tell VW to shove their diagnostics up their arse and that your going to take it to a garage that knows what they are doing and knows what customer service is to find the fault, tell them if it is clutch you'll gladly leave them alone and pay someone else to replace the clutch, but if it's the mecatronics they have to fix it as it's a known fault and you reported it at 600 miles and if they don't you'll go to the papers and tell them how your nice new VW hesitates when pulling out of junctions and is not safe, especially as you frequently have small children in the car and it just stops half way out of a junction and that you have had a few near misses with kids in the car and how big bad VW just want to get out of fixing it and don't care for customer safety.
That's what a friend did with vauxhall when she bought a secondhand 02 plate astra that would just cut out all the time, it went back to vauxhall 12 times under waranty, they kept saying nothing wrong with it, she told them that she'd do this, she now has an 06 meriva for her troubles.

That's what a friend did with vauxhall when she bought a secondhand 02 plate astra that would just cut out all the time, it went back to vauxhall 12 times under waranty, they kept saying nothing wrong with it, she told them that she'd do this,she now has an 06 meriva for her troubles.
Result!! :cool:
Defo needs another vw man(s) to have a look chunk...

blimey after 22 pages off this there is light at the end of the tunnel VW finally admit there is an issue
personally i would not be using that dealer again and in reality i'd give the new dsg a few thousand miles to bed in before i'd rag it down the 1/4 mile or around a track :wink:
i know i'd be paying the labour charge to have a stock file reflashed on mine if there was a hint of a warranty claim
-
They can't prove That the remap has damaged some component in my gearbox and can't explain why. even tho ive told them it was there before remap
-
Def have flash wiped if u have any problems, no track days for me :smiley:

Great news, hope you are back on the road soon
