| 51000 mi US $3200 |
Replaced clutch and flywheel. I had my car tuned with a performance chip, when that was done the clutch began slipping. I'm assuming it was a dual result, a worn clutch combined with the additional power overcame the clutch plate friction. When they did replace it, they said there was also excessive slop in the flywheel and there were warp marks on the flywheel too. |

Mechatronics unit failed due to thermostat failing in closed position, resulting in car overheating. No coolant loss was seen, this was entirely a thermostat failure. The resulting overheating caused electronics in the Mechatronics unit for the DSG to fail, putting the car into a limp mode where the transmission Reverse and Even gears were unavailable. Problem solved when mechatronics unit was replaced and the transmission reconfigured by the dealer. |
