Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    They obviously don't back them to last 10 years

        Yet in the USA, china, Russia etc they all get 10 year warranties. I'm just asking why is Australia getting a different treatment?

            Me.
            Because the last model of T5 I bought came with 5 cylinder 2.5L engine and the new one is 2.0L 4 cylinder from Golf.
            ...and it doesn't get any better, our 2008 Touareg 3.0L TDI came with good ground clearance and much better off road 4x4 system than the current attempt.
            So, yeah I will keep both for over 10 years.

                Has VW made a public announcement or is this going to be kept hush hush?

                  Hi all have a r36 with the mechatronic playing up. (Car is out of warranty)Took back to dealer and it's confirmed by them. They have applied to volkswagon Australia as a goodwill warranty. Do you think it will be covered 100% Maybe 50/50? They said its all assed on a individual basis.... Really scared if not covered as the unit alone is around 4500 plus labour (900.00). Really considering my options if not covered. What do you think i should do if not covered? its also a known issue with dsg! Can any one please shed some more detailed info if this has ever happened to them with there outcomes. Thanks everyone

                    Heavily depends or your service history within the VW dealer network and if you've owned the car from new.

                      Replaced mechatronics unit on my GTI under goodwill (just out of warranty, dealer serviced from new)

                      Wasn't actually a failure, I wanted to get it done prior to sale

                      VW and dealer supported it (did have the reversing hesitation issue and abrupt downshift - nothing major)

                        Its funny(not really). In shopping for my Mk5 I specifically wanted a 3dr manual as i've had a 5dr DSG before.

                        Ended up with a 5dr DSG.

                        Sigh.

                          Service history is faultless always done through vw dealer... And am second owner. Awaiting response from dealer.

                            Are there rather strict conditions on the extended warranty in China?

                            As far as I can see the extension in warranty is mainly time... not distance.

                              and why not 200K

                              its hardly confidence inspiring

                                It's an easy choice... Just don't buy ang VAG product with DSG... You are just tempting fate.
