DSG RECALL on MK7 - just received the letter

[egsolomon]

Has anyone had the ECU on their mk7 recoded during a service?

I can let you know on Friday. Need to pick up some touch up paint, and when I called, dealer mentioned a new software update/recall and will be applying it for me then.

Good friend of mine, today had to book his MK7 TSI Comfortline (8,000km) in for a "warranty repair" on the DSG7 ..... making weird noises every time he pulls off from a standing start and VW says its a "known issue" which will be repaired under warranty.

I warned him not to buy the DSG7 but he did anyway thinking VW must have fixed this by now, especially since they said so when the MK7s came out!

Likewise, 8,800kms and on 3 occassions on the same day I heard a loud noise on pulling away from a standstill. This was about 3 weeks ago and has been silent since. My dad has a 2010 A3 and it is the same noise his was making before the clutch packs were replaced.

Took mine to the dealer who said they could not replicate - understandable. They did ring VW Aust and explained the problem and got authorisation to change the clutch packs. I also thought the 7 speed DSG issues were long past.

Interested to know of any other MK 7 's who have had clutch packs replaced.

At least now they're changing the clutches with minimal hassle. My sister got the clutch packs done on her out of warranty, recently purchased Octavia free of charge.

some friend got 90tsi comfortline got 3 recalls since Aug 2013, mine got none...worried about that.

FYI Recall 45D4 being done on my car that I dropped off yesterday. They've included it along with the other job I dropped it off for. Haven't received any letter for that though.

I brought my Mk7 TDI to the dealership yesterday, they had two recall codes even though there isn't an official recall that I'm aware of. One of the codes even earned my car a badge of honor.

Since I like to dump useful links on webpages to find them later in life on Google...

Insert VIN number, find out your car needs updates...(link was from Facebook page of Volkswagen Golf mk7)

Singlespeed: I'm sure that your TDI will wear the recall badge of honour with pride! But I'm surprised that your car doesn't have a second badge for the other recall (which I assume is the mineral oil change for the dsg - i.e. recall 34F6). Have you had this done?

Edit: oops, I just noticed that you have an my14. recall 34F6 is probably not relevant for your car- sorry

You are correct, it had 34F6 done as well, but there was no badge for it. I did see it on the invoice and there was a reference to a pipe on the docket as well, but I'm not sure what that was about. The service dude dismissed most of my questions, just said each one was a software update. My dashcam ran for most of the service, I saw them hook up to the car under the hood and the disappear for a while. They didn't road test the car following the service either.


Edit: here is the list of work carried out. I only had the 45D4 completed after all. I wonder what the "pipe" reference is?

singlespeed: Hmm.......... that's real odd! When I had the 34F6 recall done on my vehicle the receipt said (and I quote)

"Carried out campaign 34F6 and placed sticker on Right Side of A pillar"

Sure enough, when I looked at the RHS "A" pillar on my car, the sticker (much the same as yours) was indeed there proudly stating that 34F6 was completed.

Are you sure that the recall was done and no sticker? Knowing first hand what pedants VW dealers are for the protocol of Head Office, I'm surprised that the sticker wasn't installed

Did 34F6 apply to the TDI? I thought that was the difference.

singlespeed. Yes, I think that you are correct. Now that you have raised the matter, I recall that the TDI has a different transmission (I think). That explains everything. Appology for "taking you down the garden path" (so-to-speak)

It was campaign regarding 7 Speed DSG (DQ-200). TDI has 6 Speed DSG.
