The Official Mk6 Golf DSG Clutch / Shudder / Squeal Issues Thread

squeak noise at the moment but I am not sure if it is the waterpump yet... will find out on Wed

Update: just a bell needs some lubrication... car still goes strong!

Mine was smooth for about a week, still better than before but some of the weirdness is starting to return here and there...

First occurences were on the way home from APR in fact. I've had the tune off since (had it on once or twice to compare) and while it's definately better in stock, there is still the odd hiccup.

It's spreading.
VW has begun offering FIVE year warranties on DQ200 DSGs in Singapore now. I think things are changing now. Seems like there may be inherent flaws in this DSG for now.

Seems like it is more serious in China as those components are all made in China?
Those made in German are already having issues so can't see how "made in China" would make it any better or equal in quality.

So in Oz do we get any extended warranty on the DSG?

[Rawcpoppa]

Nope. You guys need to start asking questions I suppose.

I think my saga is over!!! I just had the clutch pack replaced a 2nd time (Just before warranty ran out) and this time I think they've solved the problem. Fingers crossed so far there is no shudder from D1 to D2 and in 2 days I think I have covered enough variety of driving conditions. Probably wait another week before definitively celebrating, but so far so good

The service guys told me that the clutch pack has been redesigned for 2012. Doesn't make sense to me as I thought a friction pad is a friction pad.

Anyway, I am thinking of the DSG tune to preserve the life of the new clutches.

Keep us posted, but 2 days seems a little early to celebrate. My first replacement was perfect for 7 days before a few niggles resurfaced.
