Golf mk 7 dsg transmission shudder
Hi guys,
I was driving in stop start traffic last night and I started to realise my transmission started to run rough. I could hear a crunching sound whilst running through the gears and it seemed like every gear change was accompanied by relatively violent banging sound. Reverse gear seems the worst and at one stage stopped engaging.
Has anyone ever had this issue before? I am hoping someone could shed some light on whether this is similar to any problems that affected the mk6 dsg a few years ago.
How many issues with MK7 DSG's and clutches ???
I know there are many threads here about DSG's and clutches on the MK7.
My MK7 has had three clutches and it's second gearbox recently in 2.5 years.
A mates Passat had his 3 yo old out of warranty DSG gearbox replaced.
Another mate with a MK6 has "shudder" on the clutch take up position (in a manual it would be like a worn thrust bearing)
So he will be up for a VERY expensive clutch repair shortly.
His wife also bought a MK 7 same time and dealer as me and I have just found out that DSG had major work done to get fluid affected wiring in the DSG repaired.
It would be foolish to think that VW had NOT got an ongoing DSG issue !!!
It would be twice as foolish to think they might tell the truth about it either - thinking back to the diesel scam.
Who else has issues ???
