    Perhaps. But the DSG has waaaaay more issues than the manual. And repairs are waaaaay more expensive.

    Quite amusing yet irritating at the same time - when music is on you cannot hear it, but when it's quiet, there's this little squeak each time you change.

    Very weird. Under warranty so will drop it in and see what happens but wondered if it's just a lack of grease that has dried out more given the weather and thus now becoming annoying, and thus if anyone else has ever seen this. A search did not bring up anything...

    Thanks

    I been saying this in my posts on this forum and on another one, it's not really a squeak but each time i depress the clutch and change gear, i hear a lot of mechanical parts interacting to the gear change (normally i don't hear this in manual cars), there is absolutely no problems with my transmission in terms of gear changing, its all smooth and well perfect, it's just the sound like it's not greased up enough or so

    Everyone's been telling me not to worry about it as it's natural but i'm too careful xD
