Huntz Clutched March 18, 2013 Share March 18, 2013 The gearbox warranty for VW in China is 10years or 160k. It is a big issue in China. There is mentioned that the gov body may enforced WV to recall their faulty DSG. Extracted from http://www.mobile01.com/topicdetail.php?f=...3258322&p=4 2012年3月以来，质检总局一直对大众DSG变速器动力中断故障问题进行跟踪调查。在开展缺陷调查和多次约谈督促下，2012年5月，大众公司将DSG变速器质量担保期延长到10年或者16万公里。 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kangadrool Supersonic March 18, 2013 Share March 18, 2013 yesterday i saw a van, something like " VW Mobile service or rooadside assistance " ...... what for? ( shouldn't they use unmarked vans ..hahah ) Corporate branding mah, to show the world their aftersales support very good. For conti cars, aftersales very important one 'cos for no reasons, the car may just fail to start in the next morning due to battery dying without advance notice. Most dealers tied up with AAS, but more atas ones have own/"own" (as in outsourced with branded vans) support. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
