Golf V 6 Speed Automatic problems, repairers

[MKfi]

Hi guys, hope nobody minds me bumping an old thread,

I bought a used Golf mkV in 2020 not knowing this gearbox was an issue. Thanks to this site iv found alot of useful information.

Adding to this topic, my 09G is spazzing out after about 20mins of driving. I dont doubt its the valve body/mechatronics issue as stated in this thread. I have no idea what to do now. I brought her to VW in Indooroopilly and they said they need to run a diagnostics check and pull her apart to define the issue, at a cost of $180 per hour just to confirm that it is indeed the same issue returning, as she had a recall repair in 2010.

So far im going down the road of chasing VW to pay for this mess. As stated above - I hope they can organise a goodwill repair. Problem is, its now 2023......Am I crazy in chasing VW to fix this?

Yep you crazy. VW offered 3 years warranty, you now have a 15+year old car.

Hey I just noticed your intro thread. you say you have a DSG, but also mention 09G.
The issue on this thread is about the 09G 6 speed Tiptronic auto. it is a traditional auto with torque converter.
DSG is a very different beast.
