And how many years has it taken before they start fixing all those DSG's that are out there. I think many who suffer from less than smooth DSG's would have hoped for something a lot sooner!

From what I read the main problem is the type of oil used in the filling of the gearbox it appears it is crstalysing with most gearboxes apparently just need a change of oil.

Very strange. In the online version of Autobild, they explicitly state that VW isn't issuing a recall, merely advising that the gearbox oil should be changed at a convenient time when the car is at the dealers. Perhaps Collos is referring to the printed version which says something different.

I am refering to the printed version, the on line version tends to be a few days out of date
