Thread: VW recall DSG 09 and 10

David, yes...they should be able to hook up your car to their computer and see what "version" of TCM program resides in your TCM. k1xv - one would think...logically, that if the TCM is reflashed, it defaults all adaptive learning (if it really does exist) back to a brand new tranny that's never been driven and must "learn" all over again. This is an argument posed by some on this forum that it's...

That's your replacement mechatronics, right? I don't think my original mechatronics, in Tip, dropped into 1st until almost a dead stop. In S, yes, it would drop to 1st at 12-1300rpm in 2nd (5-10 mph).

I wonder if my car is in the S8 recall program? This one is not a cheap one __________________ 09 Jetta sedan TDI Candy Apple White DSG Build date (12/08) S7 DSG temperature senser reflash on (11/6/09) No mods yet

Got the flash yesterday, and I've driven about 125 miles with it. I was fortunate and have not had the Blinking PRNDS fail, but after a few had said that drivability improved, I quickly scheduled the flash. So far, MAYBE there's some difference. I do lots of both city and highway driving. Less "clunking" so far, but not entirely gone. Definitely some abrupt shifts happening though. I wish there were more notes...

Dropped mine off this morning for the flash. They got it done in record time, I'll find out if it makes any difference when I pick it up. Interestingly enough, they suggested doing the first service while it was there. It has 9K kms on it. I asked why when the book said to do the first one at 15K kms(I think, it's been a while since I read it). He said yes that's what the book says but they are recommending doing the first one...

El Dobro, I'd sure like to drive your car to see what it feels like. I assume you've asked for a demo drive of a similarly equipped new car to see if there is a difference. If so, just take a mechanic for a quick ride in your car, then one on the lot on an identical route. Presto.
