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

**Rawcpoppa** · 26-01-2013, 09:31 PM

My dealer recommended I pull off from stops or slow corners more aggressively in D....it actually works so far. Most of my judder experiences have been when driving like a granny coming out of slow uphill corners. Just putting this out there for feedback.

Doesn't help in peak hour traffic though, or if you have a granny in the passenger seat

Yes definitely! Dont want to make you feel bad, but that is the worst i have seen so far. You don't even need to mute the audio to tell it's there.

This morning on my way to work my golf 90TSI completely lost all drive. If I accelerate it just revs. Had it towed to the VW dealership. This is 1 - 1.5 years (25,000-30,000 kms) after my clutch pack was replaced. The shudder had come back but I was waiting for it get more prominent before taking it to get checked out so that I can demonstrate it easily...

Time for the extended warranty to get to work!

Had the same issue with my 118TSI but it happened to me only 6 months after I bought it new

would one really want to drive more aggressively when one of the influencing factors to buy was the fuel economy.

What was the problem for yours and what did they do to fix it?

Did I read last week in wheels(?) or carsguide(?) that VW Australia had extended the warranty on the 7sp DSG to 5 years/ 100K? or was that 150K.... anyway I recall thinking at the time that i should check on this site.... and I will also ask my dealer.

cheers

I've heard this question so many times recently I'm starting to think it must be true - but have seen nothing official from VWA. China and USA have it.
