6c gti dsg still dq200?

Pretty much the question is in the title

Just wondering if they still use the fragile fry clutch dq200, pretty disappointing if they still did :/

Was under the impression it was a newer 7 speed wet clutch?

I do believe its the same unit. Just get the manual = better gearbox and 70nm more torque.

Too late haha, 1 month and 6000 km into ownership (an interstate drive helped there)

Will just have to work around it

Yep they still use the same DQ200 dry-clutch seven-speed DSG as before. The six- and seven-speed wet-clutch DSGs (DQ250 and DQ500, respectively) are physically too large and/or heavy for small applications such as the A05 platform cars, which is what the Polo is.

Its interesting that the DSG gearbox in the 6C exhibits a bunch of thumps and bangs that it doesnt do in the 6R. I even experienced them in a brand new 6C with <400km on the clock, yet in 27k kms my 6R never made those noises. Im guessing if they're the same 'box that its either sw related (and a simple fix) or has some kind of different mounting that transfers the violence to the body of the car.

Has anyone had a clutch problem in a 6C yet? My 6R was constantly suffering from slipping clutches which VW would reset (wasting my time to drop the car to the dealer and pick it up) and it would be ok for a while and then go back to its old ways. Even after a replacement of clutches it still needed this doing way too often for my liking. Ive heard tell that Ford have a similar issue with their similar boxes and that they have a queue of cars at every dealer to reflash each day. Sounds worse than the VW version if that is the case.
