Dsg gti box playing up?

I'd want them to do a little more than that.  I'd want them to produce a technical eport stating that the map had absolutely nothing to do with issues with the DSG.


It's in their best interests in my view as people will become wary of using their maps is there's a chance their maps kill your cars....

I thought most recognised tuners gave a guarantee if their map caused damage?

VW are saying its the map, Revo are saying its VW. I don't see any blame on the customer!

We will find out what prob is on monday when they take box out of car to find fault

VW will use any excuse to get out of a warranty claim if you have gone outside of the terms of the warranty, which by remapping the car the owner has.

REVO producing a report isn't going to prove anything more to VW, as VW are the manufacturers of the DSG box so they set the rules of the it's operation, so by the owner choosing to increase the power of the car there is VW's get out clause regardless of this being the cause of the failure.

I believe the box in Chunks car would have failed either way with or without the map. The type of issue I understand he has is most likely down to a mechatronics failure, which is a part generally unaffected by the power output of the engine. This to me could only be damaged if the oil in the box got too hot, which increasing the power 'could' cause.

I fault the box had it's own cooling. Also how could I get the box that hot on the road, it's only had small blasts never no more then a burst thro the gears surelly that's not enuff to cook mechtrnics

I have previous run two DSG cars for over 120k Miles combined, both remapped and driven pretty hard (multiple track days and a trips to the Nurburgring etc) and by changing the oil every other service I never had an issue that required a new box. On my Mk5 ED30 I had a mechantronics unit replaced under warranty (while at Stage 2) due to lurching at slow speeds, slow response and clunking noises when moving between D, P and R. My Mk6 never had any issues over the 50k I owned it.

My current GTD has 20k on it now, which is remapped and DSG and again no issues. 90% of the miles driven have been on REVO remaps on these cars too. The first 15k I did on my Mk5 ED30 was remapped by Superchips.

Sounds like it is the mechatronics on mine then Steve I hope it is as I'd be a lot better off lol

We buy any car . Com

Even if you spend £1000 or £5000 grand fixing it your still left with a car with no warranty.

Get it back of them ASAP, sell it, take the loss and buy something else not a vw obviously and get on with the rat of your life.

Once bitten!

Sorry to hear about this btw.

Wrong m8 if they supply and fit a new box it has 2 years warranty, if I leave it stock that is, as for the car apart from loosing it's engine warrenty it still has full 3 year warrenty on everything elese, think I'm going to hold on to car as it's still the only one in uk in reflex silver I believe witch just happens to be my fav 

[Will@carbon]

I wouldn't believe a word they say.

What happens if your turbo goes or some else engine ralated? You know what's next.... I'm sorry sir I don't know who told you that but it Vw uk says you don't have a warranty as of July 2012.

I'm sorry I just don't trust big company's.
