My 8V is 3 years old in a week or so and has had a minor Stronic glitch a few times where it goes into a false neutral. I found this thread which describes exactly what happens with mine:

So I decided I'd get it booked in with the dealer before the warrantly runs out and let them do the MOT at the same time. I gave them chapter and verse on the Stronic problem and even quoted the TPI Revision Number to them.
They tried to talk me into a Haldex Oil Change at the time of booking but I said "No - because you don't clean out the filter gauze, I will get it done by an Indy who does".
Anyway, the car has been in today since first thing this morning.
I've just had a text and email a few minutes ago with a link to a webpage of a video of a "tech" going round under the car. Main thing he goes on about is how good the condition of the tyres is and what brand they are (because obviously I can't read) and it's good all 4 are the same with it being a quattro. Yes, I know all that, I had them fitted less than a month ago. Anyway at the end of the video they flag up in red 2 items that need "urgent" attention- The Haldex Oil and the Pollen Filter. Next to that is a button to authorise the work or another to request a callback. Nowhere is there a button to say "F Off I've already told you NO" !!!
At the bottom of the video page listed under other work is "Complaint with Gearbox - diagnosis still ongoing".
So basically they've wasted all that time faffing around under the car doing a voiceover with a camera to show me the new tyres I surprising knew I had and to try to sell me something again that I'd already told them I didn't want. Yet so far, 6 hours in, they haven't done the only think I actually needed them to do.
Rant over - feels a bit better!
