Recall - manual gearbox
« on: 24 May 2014, 10:17 »
Had a phone call yesterday from VW telling me my car is needed for a software update on the manual gearbox? Anyone else had this?

Its a pain as now have to remove my DTUK box but on a plus not I will get the rubbing noise coming from the steering sorted at the same time.

Nothing for me so far. Was it your dealer or VW UK that contacted you?

Mines in next week to get one of the ambient lights in my door fixed, i've asked them to check for a software update for my R due to the hesitation in acceleration? She said there wasn't at the time of booking but we'll see on the day? Hmm...

I think it was my local dealer but not 100% sure! The women on the phone was a cockney so probably vw uk. The earliest they could fit me in was 5th of June!

Can't be too "urgent" then.

Hi all,

My car was in the dealers the other week for the boot rattle, they also mentioned a software update which was required, mine is a manual. They made no mention of the gearbox, but did say that there was something for the parking brake...maybe the parking brake software is different between DSG and manual? When I got the car back there was a white sticker inside the bottom of the boot with a code: 45D4, I think these stickers are used when there is a fairly important update required. I remember my 1.4 160Tsi Scirocco had a similar thing.

Surely the only bit of software in a manual gearbox that might need an update is the driver  :wink:

Cheers,
Phil
