    The person on the workshop floor is most likely a VW technician.

      In the case of a disputed warranty claim, a VW technician is someone from VW and not the dealership.

        Ah, no.

        That'd be the area rep that looks after that sort of thing.

        The technician is the guy/girl that performs maintenance, repairs and diagnosis at dealership level.

          "My (1.8 TSI DSG-7). Starting today 2 days in the shop because of jerky / rupfender clutch Above all, the gear change from 1 in the 2nd made in part with stuttering / rattling like a slipping clutch. According to my the problem is known in VW us there for a repair kit. It has the complete gearbox to be expanded."

          That gave me a good chuckle, but it does capture the essence. Some explanation/clarification:

          "rupfen" is a slang/dialect word for "snatching".
          When you see the somewhat strange seeming "my <smiley face>" or "your <smiley face>" it's actually a common wordplay on the forums: derived from the equally common phrase used by advertisers and marketers to "fragen Sie Ihren freundlichen Haendler" (ask your friendly dealer), it became shortened to simply use "Freundlichen" (the friendly one) as the slang term for the nearest dealer or service, which inevitably got shortened from "friendly" to the smiley emoticon.
          Finally, "the problem is known in VW us there for a repair kit" should read "the problem is known at VW as there is a repair kit".
          And instead of some miraculous "expansion" of the gearbox, it should be "they swap out the complete transmission (or at least the gearbox)".

          HTH!
