Welp. Story starts about 2 weeks ago. So excited to install my new twin disk dkm. 7/14 Mexico 2015 MT.
Well about 2/3 into break in I start to get a rattling sound when pressing the pedal. Chalked it up to normal break in.. All of a sudden out of nowhere I turn car on and ..
Low Oil Pressure Warning
Crankshaft position camshaft position correlation failure
Oil pressure switch 3
It seems that a MASSIVE amount of 7/14 Mexican GTIs have gone out. Of course warranty is useless (fbo is38 car). What dya know.. thrust bearing failure slowly.. yet another bites the dust..
It's fkn ridiculous that they obviously screwed these up yet have no recall on their mistake. So all of us tuned are basically SoL (in before pay to play cliche).
If you own a 7/14 Mexico build date MT TRADE IT asap!!! This is now almost a dozen recorded forum cases and who knows how many unrecorded!
It explains so much though..
Pedal sticking when making sharp right turns (but never down )
1st gear sounding like engine about to shred itself 4k+
The DKM clutch SMFW quickly destroyed the remaining thrust bearing imperfection. If you own a 2015 MT GTI I highly reccomended going DMFW if you're going to keep the car. They are not designed to be used with smfw and obviously will mess them up its just a matter of when.
