Polo GTI recall (DSG 7)
Polo GTI recall (DSG 7)
Just had a call from customer services informing me that I am booked in for an oil change for my DSG box. Apparently it's going from non mineral to mineral oil.
So expect a call!

Heard about this back along but seemed to be only in warmer climes. Interesting to see if I or anyone else gets contacted.

She told me that ALL dealers are aware of the issue so I'd get yours booked in- I wouldn't even wait for the call.
Re: Polo GTI recall (DSG 7)
Thanks mate. Was it VWUK or your dealer?
Re: Polo GTI recall (DSG 7)
VWUK. But they told me to ring my local dealer straightaway and they would definitely be aware of the issue. Which they were.

Re: Polo GTI recall (DSG 7)
these gearbox's don't actually have oil levels in them !
they are oiled when manufactured but are a dry gearbox !
the tiguans and tourags which have the alternate 7 speed dsg are the ones being recalled !

The clutch is dry. The gear box definitely has oil in.JCT 1991 wrote:these gearbox's don't actually have oil levels in them !

I was told back in December that this 'recall' was for warmer climates only.

Re: Polo GTI recall (DSG 7)
For the UK it's probably not essential and not worth a full scale recall. If I was VW I'd handle it as part of the normal service schedule but also offer it to anyone that asks outside this schedule.
As far as I can see its only been a real issue in a small number of cases in very hot countries.

The way I see it is that if it's offered, you'd best take them up on it. Should anything fail later on you're covered.

Confirmed. 2013 GTI in for a limp mode issue, and on booking in this morning they also need to look at the DSG as part of a recall. I had not been contacted yet.
Re: Polo GTI recall (DSG 7)
My 11 plate was in for it yesterday. Only found out after taking to VW to a misfire issue
