I got told a story just yesterday from a friend wife tried taking the car in for suddenly losing power. Caused by the dsg. They refused warranty saying the car had modified. All that the car had added from new was a baby seat. They took it to everyone they could without going to vcat.. Apparently got fixed but now they're chasing the bill. $8k for a replacement

+1 to there being more to this story.

There's always two sides. But I've seen the car and its definitely not modded, and they've had it since new so..

Reading the news article it seems like vw are doing any/everything to cover their asses. Which kind of make me believe my mate even more

But this is the news, which is almost always tainted

Parents Tiguan had oil leak, b4 even checking what was wrong they dropped a new DSG in it.

then found out it was a leaking head gasket.

SO seems that yeah they having much trouble with them so assume everything is caused by it.

guy in my team at work has a 180sx type x that's painted pearalescent purple with work meister TE35's, big turbo, huge intercooler and a forged SRDET20

it got dyno'd and made 285kw

why anybody in this country would spend money on a golf when you can get a commodore for 1/4 of the price that will outperform it everywhere and rip skids is beyond me...

there is only one explanation,, top bloke hipsters....

    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
