I have heard the 2012's are upgraded also but I've not seen any confirmation of that.When I was in for my 20k service back at the end of June I asked the tech. He told me my 2012 Golf was updated and did not need the upgrade/repair kit. So, so far one no and one yes. I hope this helped.
That is what I was told when I went in for my 10k service. I'll ask again at the 30k.When I asked for this for my 2010 JSW I was told it was only performed when a vehicle showed signs of freezing up and/or the owner reported having the problem (ie not a mandatory recall). True?
Who you gonna ask? The same people (company) who told me my DSG was lifetime fill? Or the service people who told me that 507 oil is a VW money making gimmick and 505 oil is equal in protection and no issue to DPF. Or the service manager who told me that HPFP failures are due to biodiesel use in America. Oh and they told me intercooler problems were an internet myth.That is what I was told when I went in for my 10k service. I'll ask again at the 30k.
I have a 2012 Golf TDI SW delivered at the end of May 2012 and didn't have the updated Intercooler,they told me that before they do anything the car has got to have the problem,this was a dealer and VW Canada said is the dealer that decides who get the Intercooler replacement.When I was in for my 20k service back at the end of June I asked the tech.

I didn't last year. My car was new though so that isn't saying anything yet as there wasn't many miles to have built up anything.are there people out there that have not had iceing issues in the winter? we have a 2010 TDi Golf that will be our first winter with. She has 95k on her now.
I bought my JSW just before Christmas last year and we've had zero problems with it, well, other than the noisy sunroof that is.are there people out there that have not had iceing issues in the winter? we have a 2010 TDi Golf that will be our first winter with. She has 95k on her now.
This would be funny if it wasn't true. But it is true and it's still funny! I don't know who to ask any more. I've been told "we can't do anything until we see it, and your car has the updated intercooler you don't need the kit." It's too bad the car didn't cost me $25 instead of $25,000. I still like it and hope it treats me well. (Was that the kiss of Death, hope not)Who you gonna ask? The same people (company) who told me my DSG was lifetime fill?

Yes. I am a man in search of a new dealer
That's the part that I don't understand (and I was told the same by VW Canada). The cars are all the same by design, so why do they have to see you stuck before they will admit that your car has the same problem as all other cars?I've been told "we can't do anything until we see it
Same was relayed to me by my dealership. I must have a no start condition before they will even consider the kit.That's the part that I don't understand (and I was told the same by VW Canada).

Oh, my absolute favorite. My steering wheel is slightly off to the right, but car tracks straight. "you should just live with it. If we start messing with it, probably only make it worse." It was such a great answer I couldn't argue with it. I'm trying a new dealer next week for my 30k. I hope I'm not so entertained this time. I might even try the steering wheel repair request again and see if the keep a new customer tactic works.This would be funny if it wasn't true. But it is true and it's still funny!

Not for sure - many people are still experiencing problems with the kit.Well, I just fell victim to the freezing intercooler issue on my new golf. Car lost power on the interstate requiring tow. Dealer will install the cold kit. Question
Will this fix the car?
How does the new intercooler work?
Will this kit ruin my fuel Economy or power?
I am located in NE Ohio.
