    Keeping your Golf after three years?. Good luck with that.
    Now I feel as if you are bashing the DSG's and VW's

    Are we a bit sour from an experience?

    I sated the VW is the best car I've ever had - ALL other things said about DSG failures were actual incidents from friends and family. (Lots of Dubs in this family) However VW in the past (and present?) have been less than forthright with ongoing issues.
    The diesel scam just goes to show how far they will sink to cover their "marketing".
    MY Golf has had its gearbox replaced and 2 other clutches replaced all under warranty. (Not sure how that can be called sour.)
    However I am left wondering what is going on AND just how much I would trust a gearbox out of warranty.

    I would say there is enough evidence across this forum to confirm that a DQ200 Dry clutch DSG is not the most reliable gearbox with approximately 7 in 10 with some of clutch, software or mechatronics issue over the course of the vehicles life.

    Your current experience should be a good foundation as to what the characteristics of failure and longevity of the gearbox, UNLESS you have been advised that the design has been completely changed, then i would suggest it would be touch and go, along with taking out some extra warranty at your own risk and expense, but the likelihood of the design changing completely, it is a proven fact that they inherit issues!

    The dry box is known to be no good for Australian conditions or start stop traffic.

    Dieselgate however has nothing to do with your DSG box or the above mentioned issues, there is another thread on that, and how they are looking to rectify the issues, Deiselgate rectification is OPTIONAL in Australia. If you wish to talk about or bash Dieselgate, feel free to go there.

    How about you take the negativity and cease with dragging it on. You know the risks, you know the issues, and you well know that VW know they had released a gearbox that was a huge risk.

    Lol - love the Dieselgate tag. However VW's relationship with customers and press IS related, very closely.
    If VW was a "man" would you be happy with him taking out your daughter ?
    VW lie and cover up truths - of course that's relevant to any discussion with regards to reliability issues.
    I didn't know at the time I purchased by beloved comfortline that I was taking a huge risk - did anyone ?
    I have stated only facts - I'd be very happy for the throngs of MK7 owners to tell me my DSG is great.
    I doubt you would be one of them judging by your comments.

    My golf suffered dsg issues only last week. Reverse gear was not engaging and it was generally running rough. VW fixed it with a software update however the problem has returned not even one week later. They have been the worst company to deal with in regards to any repair issues with my 2013 high line!

    I don't check when fluid is changed, I just make sure my services are done as per schedule. I can only hope that the service does the right thing by me..

    Wow 70 pages of clutch/DSG issues.
    Question. Do VW have an ongoing problem with MK7 DSG gearboxes?
    Answer. Hell yes.
    Solution. If it's out of warranty keep everything crossed.
    Or sell it.
    Won't be visiting VW again until they have a 5 year warranty on their cars and a 7 year warranty on their DSGs.
    Seriously VW 3 years!? Don't you trust your own product?
    Good luck dubbers you are going to need it.
    Now the proud owner of a Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV Aspire.
    Still miss the MK7 though awesome car in just about every respect.

    Seriously man, do you read the stuff here? These posts date back to 2010. MK7 didn't come out in AUS until 2013. Most of these posts are related to MK6 7 speeds. A well documented issue.

    Some early MK7s had issues, they released a fix. Given the number of Golfs they sell a year vs. the number of people here complaining, it's a very small percentage.

    So you bought a lemon, it happens to every brand. Move on. Take your negativity elsewhere. VW won't really miss you anyway, enjoy your Outlander.

    Ps. Here's 15 pages of why people wouldn't buy a Outlander PHEV again. Enjoy the reading. Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV Forum • View topic - Anyone else who wouldn't have a PHEV again?

    Seriously, talk about repeatedly misrepresenting the facts, are you a politician by any chance? You badgered and badgered to get the threads merged and now you represent the MK 6 failures as proof that the MK 7 has an ongoing issue. As has been pointed out repeatedly, far and way the majority of these failures relate to the Mk 6 and it is patently clear that there are significantly fewer issues with the Mk 7.

    I hope you are happy with the Mitsubishi, having owned a few, including one that needed an engine block replaced in its first year (and they replaced just the block and rings not the whole engine), I wouldn't buy another, but that's just me.

    Please shut the door on your way out.
