#2 of 21 DSG problems by mapssi Jun 04, 2007 (11:31 am)
I will recomend to get the extended warranty from VW. If the already replace the bad one the chances you get another bad one are prity slim. However, have your dealer flash and update your ECU software with the latest from VW. This should fix the jerking. Replies to this message: kathy97 (Jul 04, 2007 8:31 am)

Replying to: mapssi (Jun 04, 2007 11:31 am) Hi, I, too,am having some transmission problems with my 1996 GTI, automatic transmission. Could someone advise me? The garage is telling me that after 1000 miles my car will "reset" itself and correct the thumping I am getting between first and second. I just had this transmission replaced and I am worried that the garage is simply trying to pass the buck. I am afraid I now have another bad transmission and should perhaps request another one instead of messing around with this new "replaced" one. I was also told by VW that the 1996 GTI's cannot be "flashed". Is this true? I was hoping to get it reset at the dealership. It just seems like I am getting the run around. What is your advise, please?
#4 of 21 Transmission run around for my 1996 GTI automatic by kathy97 Jul 04, 2007 (8:35 am)
Hi, I am having some real problems with my recently purchased 1996 GTI. I just had my transmission replaced with a used transmission; now I have a serious thump between first and second. I am being told that after 1000 miles of driving that my car will "reset" itself and this will be eliminated. Is this true? I was also told that a 1996 GTI cannot be "flashed". I took my car to the VW dealer and was told that this year car cannot be flashed. Is this accurate? Should I get another transmission? Is someone trying to snowball me? What do you suggest....anyone? How much is a new transmission?

#9 of 21 DSG maintenence cost? by nemo Nov 07, 2007 (9:31 am)
Does anyone have any experience in the extra cost in maintenance and repair for the DSG transmission? Is it significantly higher than a standard automatic? Replies to this message: furley (Mar 09, 2009 8:35 am) misturini (Apr 22, 2009 5:12 am) goose (Apr 22, 2009 6:56 pm) hoz (Jun 21, 2009 3:12 pm)

Replying to: renruz (May 04, 2007 6:16 am) Renruz, I own a 2008 GTI with DSG and have very rough shifting between gears 1, 2, and 3 frequently. Was the advice you were given about flashing the ECU fix the problem? Replies to this message: levi6 (Apr 28, 2008 7:42 am) calleart (Apr 28, 2008 1:18 pm)
#11 of 21 I was wondering about the reliability and durability of the DSG by exit123 Apr 24, 2008 (11:21 am)
I guess we are seeing the answer to that. How much is the extended warranty from VW? How long does it go (miles and years)? Does it cover the DSG? If the clutches go out, is that considered "normal wear and tear" and so is not covered?
