Rapid Recall

[Shaker Steve]

Just had a phone call From Simpsons (Colne), the dealers where I bought mine from. My sister took the message, it's about the accelerator pedal, half hour job. She booked it in for next Tuesday. Anyone know anything about this?

Is it a Recall or a Service Campaign

Is it a Recall or a Service Campaign

Recall.

[Huskoda]

Nothing on VOSA, so yet again a VAG under the radar service campaign.

[camelspyyder]

Its fairly recent, there has been a thread on this one in the last 2 months.

[Delberthot]

I thought that was for the electric steering pump not pumping as it were if the battery charge was too low

Definitely a recall, lady that phoned from Simpson's said so but didn't know the details.

That was the previous one.

It's a Product Enhancement rather than a recall, I had an email for the supplying dealer a month ago. They told me they needed the car a day and they needed to order parts. The car will go into the local dealer for it's first service in a couple of weeks so the job can be done then. 

[Shaker Steve]

Was told that this job would be a quick half hour one.

[GTWaites]

Told it was an "advisory campaign". Mines going in on Saturday to get it done.

[GaryBirch]

Not heard anything (although they may have done it at the dealers before I bought the car off them) but what ages of cars are we talking about?

with foot off the accelorator at certain speeds, the car maintains motion speed even if going up hill! it seems to clear itself once the brake pedal is pressed.

Not heard about mine yet i use Simpson Skoda at Colne for warranty work,

[Shaker Steve]

I'd give them a ring then Mark.

[GTWaites]

Got mine sorted today. In and out within about half an hour.

I've noticed that too!

Maybe I'll call them.

What did they do? Have they put a comment note in the service book?

[GTWaites]

I believe they changed the accelerator pedal. Don't think they put a note in the service book.

I forgot to mention that the power steering software was upgraded on a previous visit.

Sounds like cruise control set ?

No cruise set - I'm not that daft!

I notice it at about 20mph in 3rd, turning into my estate and I have to brake to stop it running away!

My 1.6 Tdi Toledo does exactly the same thing.

Perhaps it's the engineer in me that likes to know what my dealer/ manufacturer has done to my car.

So no record you can pass on to a potential new owner - as this was once a good thing to have full service,warranty etc histoy.

Does sound like cruise control, almost as if it was automatically setting. Can't say I've ever noticed it myself, surely if the car was still maintaining speed without your foot on the pedal this is not something to be brushed off as a "product enhancement" or whatever... It's a "this need to come back in now..." It's very dangerous!
