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:

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.

Did you post that info lee, what are they actually checking?

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:

Tiguan quicker than the Golf

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:
