Missus just purchased a used 2011 passat wagon, 118tsi.
90,000km's - had the mechatronics replaced mid 2016. Just noticed it has a slight shudder upon takeoff gears 1-2. Mechanic noted this at last service 4 months ago.
After a quick google i realise this is extremely common (should've avoided the dsg like the plague
).
Are VW likely to replace this again given it's out of warranty? Seems a bit ridiculous they can replace a part due to a recall and try to charge you two years on when it fails again...?
Any advice much appreciated!
