    DSG Software Upgrade

    Hi All

    Some of you may be interested but i went in to fix a warranty problem (vibrating speaker) and they had 2 updates to do under instruction from Germany

    I have an my12 1.2 dsg, and the first update was a software update to the DSG. I haven't really ever been happy with the DSG (had a 6 speed manual 1.2 before this) and since the update the box seems to kick down faster and react better to my driving style. Im not sure if its a placebo effect but it definitely feels like a nicer transmission.

    Other update was some new spacers in the turbo blah blah. They lost me at spacers. Apparently this was to lessen wear and tear blah blah.

    Regards

    Aaron

    Yep. 37G7. Mine is getting updated on Friday. See if it makes a difference.

    I'm also getting the sound amplifier looked at too. Common problems........

    As far as I'm aware, it's a pretty recent campaign. Call the dealer (where you bought it) and they should have a record of whether it's been updated or not

    There will also be a different software version installed into the DSG controll module so if you wanted, you could allways get a separate dealership to look into it

    Another way is to check in the boot, where the spare wheel is located, there should be a couple of stickers on the car body itself (thats where the Wastegate Actuator Spacer one is for me)

    Most of the time the "software updates" are resets by the service dept to satisfy the customer

    Ask them for a TSB or similar.

    This is an actual recall affecting specific cars so there will be a sticker that will need to be applied to the vehicle saying it has been carried out.

    Fair enough - still waiting for it to be posted by VW. No mention as yet.
