I have a 1.6TDi mk6 obviously, it's an 11 plate with 67k on the clock (majority motorway miles) and a few days ago a dodgy noise came from the car and no power was going anywhere just completely stopped, revving fine but wouldn't move, had a few look at it and likely bill might be ballpark £3000 to fix, currently being diagnosed by VW and seeing if anyone has dealt with similar as I know it a common issue with this gearbox and seeing if anyone thinks I have a leg to stand on by trying to get VW to contribute towards costs?
Cheers

yeah they had a recall about a year and a half ago because of this problem, so would you think ive got a case here for contribution from VW?

hi,

I have a 2009 golf tsi with DSG and my car had recall around a year ago now,
I think they change gearbox oil to a thicker mineral oil because the factory fitted fully synthetic oil which causes big problems
