VW 1.7 million recall 7 speed DSG

[AndersNordh]

the DQ200 as used on the 1.4 TSI Twincharger 180-185 ps  engine is not part of the re-call.  Well not Yet.

 

Well, could be then that the earlier models or just some models are affected ... I have my VIN under special watch by my friend at Skoda Sverige ... :think: ... but they don't know much yet about this recall.

 

We will just have to wait and see, won't we?

[gadgetman]

Has anyone heard anything yet from any of the VAG brands on this?

[gadgetman]

Cars in for service today and got odd looks when asked about this.

Or are they doing it quietly when cars come in?

Well, seems like not all countries have started their campaigns just yet, in Sweden it seem to have started down south recently but when I had mine in for a quick oil change I was told that it already had the correct mineral oil ...

 

Have a nice weekend!

[gadgetman]

Well ours is goosed.  Clutch gone.

My was just changed 3 days ago.. got 48 000km on it, this means not oil change at 60 000km, just saved me about 300 euros..

That is not correct, the DSG-7 (DQ 200) does not require a regular oil change. These oil changes are only required for the DSG gearboxes with "wet" clutches.

 

One question: do you experience any change in shifting behavior after this oil change and software update?

[gadgetman]

So there's a wet and dry 7 speed box?

This gives you an idea of the different versions of the DQ200

Different, the DQ250, DQ500

[gadgetman]

So going by that ours should have the DQ200,and all the issues will keep returning?

If only they had a UK outlet

[Ootohere]

Not really, so few in the UK have problems.

 

Is yours one that will be due to have a recall, or has already had a recall?

[gadgetman]

VW garage says there is no recall on ours, didn't seem to know about any recall at all.

Any way I can check what box it has? I have the clutch pack kit part code

[andrehj]

So there's a wet and dry 7 speed box?

Yes, but they are completely different:

The 7-speed DQ200 has dry clutches and can handle max 250 Nm.

The 7-speed DQ500 has wet clutches and can handle max 600 Nm. This gearbox is the big brother of the old 6-speed DQ250 (max 350 Nm), which is used together with the 2.0 TSI and 2.0 TDI engines.

It doesn't seem any different to me.

Nothing new in the link,

but a Briskoda Member in the UK with a 2011 Fabia vRS has been told his car is part of the recall on the DQ200 DSG.

The announcement in NZ 11 months ago.

Now there appears to be a 'Service Campaign' in the UK,  phone calls to some from Skoda Dealers,

no letters yet from SKODA UK, or anything on SKODA UK WEBSITES, 

Please link any 'OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT from SKODA UK if you have seen one.

Just got a call saying that my Fabia VRS has to go in for the oil change. The guy said they want to do it as a precaution. Ill try to find out a few more details when it goes it. Think it will be a week and a halfs time that it needs to go in.

[Ootohere]

There have been a few members vRS in for the DSG Oil changed to mineral & the ECU update already.

Several threads in the Fabia 2 section on the Service Campaign. (Field Action.) since it started last week.

[NathanWarren69]

One thing a mechanic friend of mine brought up about this is: If its going from Synthetic to Mineral oil does this change the service life or interval for the gearbox as mineral oil is harder wearing?? Does anyone know or has anyone asked?

[kibby]

I'd like the answer to that too!!

[Ootohere]

Simple thing is,

 ask the Skoda UK Customer Services,

they ask their  Skoda UK Technical Support Team.

 

If they do not know they just make it up,

or use their Special Technical advisor Derren Brown.

If he is busy they have Mystic Meg on a Hot Line.

[AndersNordh]

Hi! Checked with Skoda Sverige and their response was that the switch from synthetic to mineral oil should not change the future oil change requirements ...

My Skoda Roomster had the oil changed on Tuesday 28th May it was in for its first MOT and my Skoda dealer suggested they would do the change then.

 

Since the oil change I have a problem which is listed in the Roomster forum - http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/317699-help-epc-tcsesp-exhaust-control-system-lights-all-on/

 

Car going back to dealer today for diagnostics.
