maybe u can compare the part numbers to see whether its a newer unit.
and maybe an Mk6 owner who hasn't had any problem can provide similar info just for comparison
since both Mk5 & 6 use 118kw engines (CAVD & CTHD)

car was just out of warranty when the original failed
think they changed it under goodwill due to mileage and service history.
car was about 10000 - 14000 miles at the time and always serviced at BA

A next thing other countries VW (china, us) offers the 10 year/160k (5 in Australia) warranty for those DSG.. but you have to depend on the good will of the dealer ???
Bull$heit if you ask me..

I guess to ship the mats, the size of the package was taken into account.
Looks like you need to initialise a VW Jetta Group Buy down here.

Car in excellent condition. Make an offer. You obviously getting a new mechatronic in it, lol!

lol nah was just asking. I already have a mk6 and never really took to the styling of the mk5.
Did they ever tell you what exactly was wrong with the mechatronic unit on yours? Did you get part numbers of the old and new mechatronic units?
svramoutar wrote:Well, I finally got my car back today, after 5 weeks. I was told that this time it was in fact the updated mechatronic that was installed. Apparently, this was not the case when the mechatronic was changed 2 years ago. So, I guess I just have to wait and see how it holds up this time. Gonna take it for a good south run tomorrow to see how she's running. I must say I'm relieved that this time the car came back with no dings, dents. However, either a mechanic or one of the guys at the wash bay left something for me to clean. See pic.
