The warranty covers everything does it not? Get a dealer to look at the problem, if they decide it needs to be changed they will contact Allianz for approval. Allianz will say Yes or No and you'll have your answer.
But you have an MY07 so why stuff around, if you think there is a problem there take it and get the dealer to look at it as Volkswagen will most likely cover it anyway.
Read the PDS that you would have been given when you took out your cover, it will list any exclusions or limits in there.
i have read the PDS , however my copy does not have any information about having a limit of cover - hence my question
also, yes i have a my07 but the warranty has already run out.
please do not assume i've "stuffed around" i've already had my DSG reset and my car is currently at my local dealer

If your PDS has no mention of limits there are no limits. There is no point in someone else reading the PDS off the website as it will be different to yours.
Volkswagen cover repairs out of warranty for major items.
When I said stuff around you had not said your car was at the dealers being looked at for this problem and I was referring to taking the car in ASAP rather than leave it to get worse.
sorry to but in here, but i have a quick question for the forum.
my DSG has started to exhibit a worriying change in behaviour recently.
in manual mode (only) i get some clunky 2-3 shifts.
it only seems to affect the 2nd-3rd shift. and only in manual mode.
if i leave it in sport or auto mode, it's as silky smooth.
what are everyones thoughts ?

mine is a little strange, as it only occurs in manual mode, and only on the 2-3 shift. and it does not happen all the time either.
i am going to investigate to see if there might be a weak / broken engine or gearbox mount,
though if that were my problem, it would be clunking all the time i guess.

Hey Guys, new to the forum! It's a great spot for info (especially all Maverick's stuff!). I've been inspired to start some modding, too, as a result (RNS510 on the way, bluetooth, RVC a possible future mod) :bow:
I just purchased an '08 R32, I absolutely love it. When I test drove it, it was cold and didn't do any surging. But when I got home and reversed it into it's park spot, it did surge. I hope that the warranty still covers me, because it is still within the warranty period but I bought it from a private sale...probably shoulda checked that a bit closer before I made the purchase, eh?
I've noticed it surges only when it's warmed up. I don't get any bumps or thumps in the gearbox, but that surging is enough to make going slow in parking lots difficult. It also tends to surge when driving at speed. The tacho will vary from say 2500 - 2550 rpm in a very noticeable rhythm...when on cruise or off cruise, in manual or in Sports mode, it still does it. The engine doesn't surge when in neutral, so I am thinking it is gearbox related.
Is this the sort of problem that you had Maverick or does every DSG boxed golf surge at least to some extent???

Hey Guys, New around here, just thought i'd let you know what happen to my R32 DSG, i got the same thing happening as alot of guys, was jerky and hopeless in reverse. Took it in for a service, and asked them to check it out.
They said it needed the mecha replaced, but it is 3 months out of warranty. They said they would apply to VW Australia for some good will. Called me back 2 days later and booked it in, all covered under warranty.
Taking it in next week!

i was told the same thing. i've got extended warranty but the tech told me that if your car has had all its services through VW, and you need a new mechantronics out of warranty, VW australia will cover the cost (if not most of the cost)
the tech i spoke to said at worse vw would cover 80% and u have to pay the labour (given their conditions)
i don't know how much they will cover, but i guess its better reassurance
also thanks gstar for the info in regards to extended warranty
