QUOTE(bullshyt @ Dec 26 2015, 05:00 PM) have no experienced with mk6 but mk7 driven for 1year+ not much issues except battery changed once.. service can be range from 500 to 1.3k if not mistaken there is one service which priced at 2.2k ( major ) but i have yet to reach that service clocking for 40k only personally i'd suggest u to go a45 if u're planning to get new gold gti mk7. the price might be differ but the experience is totally different.. if u're getting a secondhand one. yes go for it i've yet to encounter any problem yet except the bad service centres you got your battery changed too? mine as well, that is weird their battery can't sustain 2 year. |

By the way I'm driving golf mk7 not sure why is it so hard to get SC to check on my car, maybe is because CNY coming. Been making appointment across the Klang Valley to get someone to check on the issue. Unfortunately only able to get 1 to check for me next week. |

QUOTE(BlitzAce @ Apr 18 2016, 09:56 AM) jsflim , may I ask your Golf's VIN no? Because AFAIK even the early batches of the mk7s were involved in the mecha campaign. What is VIN no? I bought it on 2013 Nov. Not sure is affected unit. Anyway I just back from service center, confirmed is mechatronic issue and they going to change it for me. Seems like I'm really the unlucky one to get affected for Golf Mk7. This post has been edited by jsflim: Apr 18 2016, 11:50 AM |

QUOTE(earl-ku @ Apr 18 2016, 11:55 AM) quite straight forward then ... so when will the work begin and expect how long to complete? got courtesy car? just send in today, SA estimated complete by tomorrow. no courtesy car since is short replacement. SA did mention if there is no stock for Mechatronic they might need to order from German or Singapore. He said it's not common for Mk7 to have this issue so they didn't keep stock. Lets pray everything go smooth and it wont happen again. I believe I'm the first person we get this problem for Mk7 Golf. |

QUOTE(BlitzAce @ Apr 18 2016, 12:14 PM) VIN is your chasis number. You can look at the passenger side, on your windscreen outside, there should be a small slot with your vin near the wiper. Should be WVWZZZAUZ xWxxxxxx. I guess for privacy etc you should keep it secret, I just need to know the bolded part, either its D or E. Sometimes dealer swap/get parts from other dealers so.. but I doubt any dealer would want to let go of their mecha stock, hah. I've heard of mk7s with DSG breakdown, but I personally didn't know any. All of my contacts went for the mecha campaign and seems fine, so far. can share what is the difference between D or E? Which one is the problematic one? |

QUOTE(BlitzAce @ Apr 18 2016, 01:34 PM) Don't hold it on me, but iirc, all D cars (2013 year of make) mk7s had to go for the mecha campaign and something else that I absolutely forgot what. E, or 2014, which is later batches, doesn't have to. Thus even if the owner went for the campaign, the damage is already done on the mecha, depending on the unit's age and mileage and would most probably fail sooner or later. I do know that even 2014 and later batches does have an update for the DSG - 37J4, which is W-Reprogamming gearbox control unit. I still require a new set of clutches, though  And I have absolutely no idea as well, whether '14+ units had suffered from any mecha breakdowns so far. I went through the gear oil changing process (Mineral oil). which I believe it belongs to the D cars. Not sure if they changing for a new mecha for me (which used in E car). but how can I know which gear they changing for me? This post has been edited by jsflim: Apr 18 2016, 02:05 PM |

QUOTE(Yapmy @ Apr 18 2016, 03:18 PM) Sorry to hear that. Makes me worried as well. My car was bought in Sept 2013 and i did the recall around Dec 2013. So far my car has been running well without any issues but i always drive it in manual mode during traffic jams. me and you should have the same batch. I was worry as well coz I don't see anyone else who drive golf mk7 having similar problem as mine. |

QUOTE(willonsk @ Apr 21 2016, 10:39 AM) Hey guys, had u guys always monitor for the oil temperature? Since DSG issue due to the high temperature of gearbox, does it link to oil temperature as well ? Normally what is ur oil temperature? For mine, 97-100, sometime it reach 101. Due to hot weather recently everything also gets hot |
