golf tsi... the concern should be more about the 7s dry-clutch dsg though... coz there's a queue and mix of cars waiting for their's to be fixed as well yawn.gif

what happened to your gearbox? common problem?

mechatronic failure... apparently quite common with the 7s dry-clutch and the previous gen 6s wet-clutch even across the causeway in spore. goggle it and you'd be worried tongue.gif

How old is your car bro? What did the SC say? Claim warranty, replace part or software update only?

in man age it's still a baby... 1 yr old and very low mileage. vw is on 5yr warranty so no out-of-pocket $ and it will be a part replacement. if it was out of warranty you'd be looking at a $10k hole doh.gif

Did you remap your car? And can you describe in more details on what are the symptoms and failure situation?

No remap done... I'm sure if you did you can kiss your warranty goodbye if u had a dsg failure! Also, there were no symptoms at all. The dsg was working great and fine earlier and it just failed with a flashing wrench alternating with the D. I'd be worried if I was driving on the fast lane and the dsg fails on me but from what I understand you will only lose power (from D7 to D6 to D5...) before the car goes into limp mode.
