Dsg gti box playing up?

[Ed35 chunk]

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.

Only time will tell, fingers crossed...

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.

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 
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  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.

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
