Dont VW do a 1 month buy back policy on used approved cars, as long as car isnt damaged etc they will give you your cash back

thats a good point, but i very much doubt it, i will have a look on vw's website to see if it states this.

Hi,
Phil it sounds like you have a mechatronic valve block problem same as mine, when tranny is hot it fails to release first gear when car stops at traffic lights etc and only does so when the engine management warns the tranny that the engine is stalling. Dealers wont recognise the the problem unless you persist or like me you have a mate who's a VW tech at another branch and gave me a copy of the internal bulettin. Mine goes in for replacement of this unit next week after much messing around with software and changing transmission oil and the like. The unit is the best part of a £ grand so this maybe why VW are reluctant to replace it or admit there is an issue on some cars. :embarassed:

No they havent had the car yet to diagnose it, it was only me that mentioned it to have a look at when they have the car in wednesday. i will mention about the "Mechatronic valve Block" if thats what its called. cheers fro the advise, if u can find out what the memo or technical bullitin number that was , that would be very very helpful.Mines under factory warranty so the i very much doubt there would be a problem with cost.

cheers DSG
