7DSG recall - anyone been fixed yet?

[roshea]

Has anyone affected by the recall had the work done yet? I visited my dealer in July about another issue (clutch plates; will be replaced under warranty too) and was told that they'll do those at the same time as the mechatronic; still waiting for the call. I realise there are ~30,000 VAG cars to be done so it's likely to take a while; just wondering where we are on the list.

my brother had the mechatronic done last week (recall) on his polo, and his car has lost power twice after it was done and b4 he got the mech..done 3 or 4 times ......its going back tomorrow to vw and check again, but im guessing any works done will be at a charge..his car has come out of warranty few months ago .............

there would be warranty on any work they do and on the parts they replace.

plus, I think with any DSG problems with recalled units would be fixed without charge

I rang Skoda Assist yesterday about the Yeti, apparently they re doing recall mailouts in batches. Should arrive soon.

It applies to those manufactured between November 2008 and August 2011 - you're probably not affected but check your build date (though you would have been contacted by Skoda already if they have your details).

Hi all,

Mine is getting fixed for this issue. I was yet to receive the second letter advising that my car is ready to be booked for the fix. It happened all of a sudden on Wed when the car wouldn't start and got a message on the MFD "ESP Fault". Looked it up in the manual but could find anything specific about it so called NRMA and the guy hooked up the computer and he got the fault code "TCM - lost communication U0101".

So had to arrange it be towed to the nearest Skoda dealer and in my case was Trivett at Parramatta. Spoke to the service guy and he confirmed that it is the issue with the mechtronics unit and needs to be replaced. He is arranging with Skoda to get authorisation to have it replaced before the second recall letter is sent out to me. Hopefully it should be fixed by early next week.

So if anyone affected by the recall and get the same error code as me you will know what the problem is.

Cheers,
Suhas118

My car is coming up to it's 30,000km service in around a month. I'm hoping they can do the service and the DSG fix at the same time, i'm not that close to the dealer and don't want to have to re-visit at a later date to get the DSG recall done...

Anyone tried to get it done whilst in for a service yet?

Give them a call now (gives them plenty of notice) to maximise your chances

wife's car is going great. Mine has also been done but is starting to shudder again so they are doing clutch pack AGAIN. I had them done already this year a few months back. My mate is head of warranty for Audi Australia and he said they are getting more and more dealers saying that when they do the Mechatronic they are also having to do the clutches.

they did my wife's clutches and Mecha at same time so will see how mine goes, good thing is that my new clutches are covered under parts warranty which is 2 yr unlimited KM! WIN

It seems that my recall work was delayed because the service manage from Essendon Skoda left and the information wasn't passed on to the new guy. I now have it booked in for early next month. I'm getting the clutch packs done as well, since that was agreed while my car was still under warranty.
