Title: Finally had a DSG service
Post by: Weston on July 12, 2011, 05:05:23 pm
Well I've finally got round to having the DSG serviced, and you can really tell the difference. Much smoother. Unfortunately VW found some other issues so it's with them till tomorrow. Apparently it needs new boots on the end of the shafts from the gearbox (?) & a new emissions valve or something like that as well as the coil pack recall. Should be the fix to my engine management light though  :pomppomp:

Anyway, just thought I'd pass on my thoughts. Anyone considering the DSG service should definitely do it!

Thankfully not  :wink: last one was at around 50k, this is the third one but the first since I bought it back in May last year.

Got the car back now. So happy with how smooth it changes  :grin: It wasn't bad before but it's majorly improved. Also feels a tad quicker now, might not be or may have something to do with the valve thingy that was replaced, or the coil pack.
