DSG Gearbox “gripping”

[mickjane2]

My bad the 7 speed DSG Which I believe is the DQ200e which is the crap gear box is as you say dry clutch. I had a 2012. Golf 1.4 twin pump DSG with terrible clutch judder between first and second gear after 300 miles, eventually sorted after six months in the dealers. They did about 3 gearbox oil tests, a new mechatronic unit which took 2 months to arrive. Then VW agreed it was the clutch pack, this issue was known world wide. I rejected the car and bought a DSG Tiguan (DQ500) which we never had a problem with in the five years of ownership. I was taking my mother in-laws 14 plate 1.4 DSG polo to work to do a service and MOT on when the clutches let go on the M20 causing the front wheels to lock up and luckily put me into the hard shoulder. It actually destroyed the gear box and she had only had the car for six months. I have also had some experience with the DQ200 6 speed, first one a 2004 Golf TDi DSG which melted the clutch on the Queen Elizabeth bridge M25 at 39000 miles but out of warranty. Then I bought a 2008 VW Eos 2.0 TSI DSG in 2011, I had to take that back to the dealers to have a new mechatronic unit under warranty, I never had a problem with it after that. Would I have another DSG! Well I have had four more, a 2008 Passat TDi, another Eos 2.0 TDI DSG 2010, a Mk2 2.0 petrol DSG Tiguan and a 2013 Audi 2.0 TFSi Quattro Sline DSG convertible. The last two I still own and have no issues with, when they are working as they should you can’t find a better gearbox better on economy and performance than you could ever get with a manual.
