AUDI / VW DSG TRANNY RECALL!! Please Read!!! 2008-2010


“A small number of these may be affected by a faulty temperature sensor in the DSG transmission,” Volkswagen said Thursday. “Failure of the temperature sensor could result in illuminated warning lamps in the dashboard, and in rare instances the transmission may shift into neutral.”

Volkswagen / Audi is recalling 2009 and 2010 vehicles with the DSG gearbox in the following Models.
VW - Jetta, Jetta SportWagen, GTI, Eos, R32
AUDI - A4, A3, TT,

This effects Vehicles with the DSG option mounted to 2.0T/VR6 engines, once again VW / Audi only started to issue recalls due to consumer complaints much like the 1.8T Timing belt tensioner problem. VW / Audi in some cases are refusing or making it difficult for owners once again to return/repair their DSG gearbox only having it fail again. A similiar issue arose due to Audi / VW fitting the AEB engine code 1.8T with a timing belt tensioner that has a bolt that comes loose around 75- 90,000 miles and bascially throws your timing off causing your pistons the come in contact with your valves and being their are 20 on the 1.8T its not good.
