lol why is that?

Sometimes just doing the DSG reset procedure makes the car drive heaps better for ~a week without changing any parts. After changing the parts they have to do this reset procedure anyway. As time passes the DSG continues to adapt and behave differently. Funny this morning on the 10 minute commute to the train station I noticed by DSG was silky smooth and responsive compared to the usual cold start behaviour.

Out of curiosity, how many Km's are on your car?
The reason I ask is I have been told they are doing older / higher Km's vehicles first...

As mine has less than 10,000km's - they indicated that I could be waiting until the campaign ends.
That is in March 2014...

43000km on the wife's car
41000km on my car and I booked mine in yesterday. They said they could do it next week but as I require a loan car it will be done October 1st.

Just got my car back after the recall and replacement of mechatronics.

Don't ask me if it feels any better because the only thing that's noticeable (stands out like a sore thumb) is the [temporary] loss of my DSG tune software. By the time the oil had warmed up I'd had enough of D going for the highest gear possible and went for the paddles again.

Will have to give Dean a visit soon

booked in 1 month ago and sent car(118TSI) in yesterday and got it back same day.
no rattles in low gear, but hard to get to 7th gear, stay in lower gear, maybe its not warm enough?

by the way, nothing is too specified on the sheet, just recall campaign is done, etc.

How do you do the reset procedure? Can you do it yourself or do you need a trip to a dealer?
