In TDI models, yes that is the glow plug light, but when it's flashing it's an ECU fault (per owners manual and VW themselves) plus I have plenty of experience with that light and it has caused limp mode every time it has flashed.

Ahh fair enough

Every VW owner should invest in VCDS lol!

I should really get onto that sometime soon...

So an el-cheapo eBay OBD2 error reader won't work to give u a fault code?

Nah it's not under warranty. I have that statutory warranty still with the dealer so we'll see how it goes.

How could you tell when your clutch was slipping? Are there early symptoms.

A honda dealer won't be able to diagnose squat about a dsg. If it's the clutch packs (which will be under statutory warranty, if they say it's not, say that you will see them in court) you can quite easily demonstrate it.
Slowly approach a corner in D, making sure the car is in D2, it will be until you stop due to the VW idiot software programmers. Go as slowly as you can as you start rolling through the corner, then feed in about 30-50% throttle. If you get any shudder, your clutches need replacing.
Once you make the technique work, it's easy to replicate for a dealership.

Anyone else have this problem with the ABS kicking in at low speed?

Abs activating at low speed could be due to problems with the wheel speed sensors. Have seen a few dirty ones.

Been checked by VW twice. No error codes and all sensors ok.

If your located in melbourne i can take a look myself. Just be persistant if it is a real fault or get in touch with customer care.

I booked my car in a week or 2 ago for slipping clutch and when i went to go pick it up this afternoon, I was told that theyd be replacing my clutches

Coasting till in D2 and then jumping on the throttle was one way to get it to slip and instantly the service manager was convinced there were problems with the clutch and even reassured me that it would be replaced under warranty...

On a side note, also got them to check for a rattle, the service manager heard it and upon picking up the car was noted that it was fixed but its still there.

Well, I had to try this for myself, exactly as you described. I didn't get any noticeable shuddering, but I had the window down as I often do, and instead of the usual clicking sound, I heard what sounded like marbles rattling in a tin. Happened three times in a row. No noticeable issue with acceleration or shaking, but the rattling sound. The obvious question: is this normal?

Shuddering or constant slipping (random rpm spikes) are the only real signs of a bad clutch. Any other noises are considered annoyingly "normal". They can come from anywhere from the dual mass flywheel to the turbo wastegate (77tsi models only). Apparently the supercharger clutch on the 1.4twin charge can also rattle / make a chirping sound...

Or the fuel lines...
...or the A/C lines...

It's the clutch. Getting my one replaced. It'll be the second clutch in my GTI.

This sounds more like the 3rd gear selector fork rattle. Due to its position in the gearbox, when 3rd gear is pre-selected the fork can rattle around seemingly with no adverse effects.

I tried this technique yesterday and haven't experienced any shuddering. It actually hasn't shuddered at all after I reset the throttle body position, well I think I did anyway.
