That is interesting, perhaps the additional circuit board they installed during the recall somehow circumvents the faulty shift mechanism from tripping the old sensor. What I just wrote probably makes no sense. How often were you getting the service vehicle error?
Perhaps!
Oh, I was getting it a lot. Extremely intermittent. Popped up every day, every hour I was driving it.. for almost a year. Went to VW a couple of times about the issue last year before there was a recall coming out and they couldn't do much, even after I showed screenshots of other VW owners in this forum getting their shift assemblies changed.
I got the recall middle of last year also, but just now got around to it due to my old VW dealership not having the parts to do the recall yet. I went to another dealer and was told this recall was going to fix the problem. I was doubtful. I honestly thought I needed my shift mechanism changed, but thankfully they were right. Thankful it's gone now.
