Funnily enough we discussed that. I promised someone a good shoeing if it happened again. :fighting:

I would assume more serious then the Shocker sticker dictates :signLOL:
Sparky Craig:
Very nice detail there Ian, bad news about the Mechatronics though, Warranty or Own pocket ?

How very dare you. Warranty of course. :wink:
It hasn't been great since I had the car and a few times in the last weeks it left me lurching around in neutral when I pulled away in a hurry so thought I would stick it in.
I went out with the tech and struggled to replicate it but he said as I was there he would update the software and do Basic Settings. Seems better after that but I guess I am right in the target zone for faulty units being an '08 plate so they are changing it.
DSG map next :innocent:

There is a thread over on the dark about a very new Mk6 which had lunched the Box and mechatronics unit! http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=162544.0
Hope you get it sorted Ian, seems VW are having a few snags with the Mech unit, any Idea what part of it exactly throws a double six?
Hedge:
I can't seem to get into that linky Dave. :confused:
Not sure what the underlying problem is regarding the Mechatronic unit itself but there seemed to be a bad batch from late '57 plate cars through '08 to early '58's I think. I know of quite a few people with cars from that time frame that have had it replaced. My Edition 30 had one replaced.
If I can find out more I will post but methinks it is probably one of those things where they have a few criteria and if you meet some or all they just do it regardless.
