Re: Gearbox being stubborn

I had similiar problem with gqn 6speed gearbox. Also clutch pedal was sticking half way. After i replaced both cylinders with no improvement, bled system countless times,ended up fitting second hand gearbox which solved all the issues.

Re: VW dirty tricks causes a U.S recall

What are they going to do when affected car is recalled back to Vw? Put another software in Ecu so that nobody can detect it... 2.1 mil Audi's involved around the world as well. I bet Seat and Skoda will be next.
