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 !

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 )

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.

Oh, how long do they reckon it will take till they come to a decision?
