Just had a full service and DSG service done at 80,000km and have noticed an oil smell in the cabin when idling with warm engine. Have checked the underside of the car and no signs of leaks. Seems odd that it has just started after the service, and have never had a prior issue. Has anyone else experienced this?

Vacuum pump leaking from the back of the block on to the exhaust, only happens under pressure.

Known failure mode of B8 vacuum pumps. Auid charge $561 for the part alone and 4 hours of labour to replace.

We can source these for around half that price, come and send us a message.

Saga continues.... Transmission Malfunction warning appears on dashboard. Back to mechanics and a full rebuild of the DSG is required.....luckily I have mechanical insurance. Clutch plates burn't out and oil is as black as night. Question is...how this could have failed only 14,000km after a full DSG service? Any ideas out there?

Should have car back from repairer tomorrow....one question...why does it need a wheel alignment after the Mecatronic rebuild? Seems odd.
