Love it - a wire that is crimped incorrectly! - The fix is they will reflash the module. Next time someone runs in to me i'll get the panel beater to reload the software, that will fix it!MY07 Jetta 2.0 TFSI - DSG,Tints,Bluetooth,

I suppose the scenario that would really be scary is turning across oncoming traffic... if the DSG put you into neutral at the critical moment it could be a little disconcerting, or terminal!
The scenario most likely in America is you could be driving along a freeway, be dropped into neutral, panic and drop your hamburger in your lap... now that could cause a crash.MY07 R32, black, DSG, 3dr, sunroof

Our Jetta's are Mexican built. VW has had their factories in Mexico for 40 odd years, you don't think they'd have their quality issues down pat by now?80,000km 1997 MK3 VR6 manual for sale - www.vwwatercooled.org.au/forums/f23/80-000km-1997-manual-vr6-nsw-sydney-67658.html

FWIW, my Mexican built Jetta was very well put together indeed, great build quality. IMO, it's a fallacy that non German built VWs are of lesser build quality than German built.

crossing a 4 lane intersection ?
crossing a train crossing ?
merging onto a 110 KM/h freeway in front of a truck because you always do it because your car is capable every other day.
lets not forget that something like this would possibly freak out a large number of people and when put into this scenario they would not know what has happend or what to do, if you're driving up a carpark ramp and suddenly you loose forward drive and start rolling back, some people are not designed to think in these scenarios, they freeze and freak out.
some people are not capable of thinking logically and controlling their emotions in scenarios like this, think hysterics.MY09 Oettinger tuned GT Sport

I'm not scared of my DSG gearbox, but nothing is as frightening as using the word "loose" when the correct word is "lose"........sigpic
