Tell me about it! :S

sorry but was not on here yesterday.....
am at work now so if you want to meet me here at lunch i will gladly come with you and give my opinion (for what its worth lol) of how your gearbox is behaving. I dont have my jetta with me today but will still come with you to see how urs is going.
if you want me meet up then come at 1230 and i'll meet you at our Gatehouse.
Address is MAIDSTONE ST ALTONA
Company name is QENOS cnr of Kororoit Creek rd and Maidstone St.
If approaching from Kororoit Creek road then turn left into maidstone street and go past the large carpark on the left and turn into the main entry just past the carpark. On your right will be a row of about half a dozen parking spots on an angle... park in there and that's where we'll meet up.
I will check back on here before lunch to see if anyone is coming.

I work in maidstone st as well just down the road

Oh I missed this post damn... thanks for the offer anyway
well we can all meet some other time my Mecatronics unit is getting replaced on Monday
let's see how that goes first

But I'm still keen to gather up some DSG/TDI owners for rant party FGOTY contest
please keep watching this thread.

no probs... hopefully the new mechatronics unit fixes the issues you have.

Got my car back today
Standing start is much smoother now a bit like a torque converter even
nice and elastic off the line.
I can't believe I put up with that jerkiness...

Very weak 2nd gear lurching is still there but it's not too bad so I'm happy.
they have also replaced Exhaust sensor for some reason saying that it was faulty

Anyway if anyone wants to test DSG jerk on their car with me I can help
just leave message here.

Had my two year service on my r36 today and alerted them to an oil leak on the left hand side....turns out it's a leaky mechatronic unit....gasket to be replaced next week....hmmmm....

Was there any other symptoms?

nope, no other symptoms....noticed oil where oil shouldn't be when i was changing my wheels around...I brought my service forward to have it looked at, and that was the diagnosis...it was and is driving fine....

even they cant work out what causing the trouble except to suggest up grade all the software , which did nothing so now i;m waiting again to hear back from Germany as to what the next step is, The dealer said his hands are tied and can only do warranty work with VWA approval.
Barloworld has told me no one has ever seen what my car is showing on the VAG unit and doesn't know what to do , said i might have to leave my car with them for a week for further investigation and no loan car because its a warranty job .

I went a different route and contacted VWA direct with a long letter through their web page,with in 4 days they rang and asked me to explain exactly what the problem was ,They were very polite and so was i and a few days latter i received a phone call tell me that a new
mechatronics unit was now waiting Barlo's ready to be in stalled, Well it didn't fix the problem and then VWA they gave the go ahead for a new complete gearbox which fixed the jerky take off and illuminated all the fault codes.
