i just caught up on this thread. has the dealer checked if your dsg has the latest software update? and also do you know if they've tried resetting the adaptations? its a long shot but has worked for me a couple of times.

in fact you should be able to ask them for a full diagnostic report, a brief of what has been tested and the results etc.. for example have they ruled out some sort of part throttle overboost issue causing the torque to spike and confused the gearbox? if the problem is only apparent in steady traffic driving, and developed long after the tuning was done then you can say with 99% certainty the remap is not the cause.

Yes this is why vw are saying clutch but there still saying mechatronic also?

well the clunking in to 1st gear is the common failing mechatronic symptom, clutch slip is something else. i can see why your dealer is having some troubles here!

Tell VW to shove their diagnostics up their arse and that your going to take it to a garage that knows what they are doing and knows what customer service is to find the fault, tell them if it is clutch you'll gladly leave them alone and pay someone else to replace the clutch, but if it's the mecatronics they have to fix it as it's a known fault and you reported it at 600 miles and if they don't you'll go to the papers and tell them how your nice new VW hesitates when pulling out of junctions and is not safe, especially as you frequently have small children in the car and it just stops half way out of a junction and that you have had a few near misses with kids in the car and how big bad VW just want to get out of fixing it and don't care for customer safety.

That's what a friend did with vauxhall when she bought a secondhand 02 plate astra that would just cut out all the time, it went back to vauxhall 12 times under waranty, they kept saying nothing wrong with it, she told them that she'd do this, she now has an 06 meriva for her troubles.
