Dsg gti box playing up?

[Ed35 chunk]

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?

I presume you're going to contest the decision?

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

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...

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.
