DSG issues
« on: 04 September 2011, 17:01 »
My much loved DSG box appears to be playing up today.  The car has less than 6.000km on the clock.  I do admit I tend to drive the car quite hard and spend most of the time in Sport mode.  Worth mentioning also, I did a Revo Stage 1 upgrade not too long ago. 
No gearbox issues up until today.  The car is now missing gears and can shake when pushed hard.

I will take the car to VW tomorrow.  Probably best to flash the car back to normal to avoid any warranty issues?

Pain in the a*se. 

Anyone else had similar problems?

Thanks

I did.. but no dsg for me. I know some remap providers will change the dsg map for you also. Hurdy was running silly bhp through his dsg box and it handled it very well with the new map.  :nerd:

How is he? It's a simple warranty claim isn't it?
