Mechatronic recall and DSG service cadence

Volkswagen R32 (Mk5) · drivetrain

The early DQ250 DSG's mechatronic unit was subject to a recall, and knowledgeable commenters treat recall documentation plus on-schedule DSG fluid services as the first questions to ask on any Mk5 R32. One owner laid out the rule: every car had the recall, VW extended a 10-year/100,000-mile DSG warranty, and services are due at or before 40k miles and every 40k after.
