DSG = INTELLIGENCE
MANUAL= IGNORANCE
I personally prefer my left hand being spare ,,, especially when a female is sat in the passenger seat if you get my drift

Don't stress figuring it out, i have done it for you.
Viper Green Roc = "i love cars but hairdressing is my passion"
Love a bit of banter
Manual / DSG / Pink / Blue or even green............. it's a great motor!

All sorted now. Car has had new mechatronics unit! On warranty of course. Dealer said they had had 200 other DSG's with a similar problem, so watch out folks!

I had the dreaded "Six Gear Shuffle" last night. Going along the A14 doing 75, popped it into 5th to get past someone and hey presto, no power, car revs to 4k on its own, all the gear lights flash, foot pedal light flashes. It then slips into gear and then 10 seconds later, does it again!!!
I've only done 3000 miles!! Party on!!

I had a new temperature sensor, they were on back order so a lot of people must be having them changed. 2 months later and it is doing it again. I'm taking it back in tomorrow.

I now need a new mechatronics. 21 days before the part will be with the dealer. I am supposed to be going on holiday in the car next week and VW are being most unhelpful.

Just out of interest
Has anyone had this kind of problem on a DSG7 ? or is it just the 6 speed that's effected ?

Well mine has been with VW for a day and a half only to be told "yeah it's the temeprature sensor" which is what I said when I took it in. I've now got to take it back for them to fit it!!!

Temperature and speed sensor fitted, oh and cruise control.
We shall see if it's fixed the issue. I've got a 450 mile round trip (ouch on fuel) planned for Thursday, so watch this space.
