Sorry IN2VWS I disagree the whole point of this thread is that Foxpuppet "IS" having problems with his DSG and its nearly 3 years old , as I have also recently posted our new T5 DSG has twice failed to engage forward drive after reversing out of our driveway stop engage drive foot off brake then to accelerator and down the hill we go backwards we roll WTF. Stomp on brake deselect drive back to park back to drive and same thing third time lucky so 2000 kays and it has its first hiccup . Look I am critical of this new technology I just don't get a warm fuzzy feeling with the DSG it has some very strange habits even when on the road , Just today I was on a level highway cruise control engaged at a steady 108 kmh decided to get up to 110 so tapped the cruise stalk once for a fraction of a second and the auto changed down from 7 to 5 ???? two gear changes for two kilometres an hour increase in speed . I will admit that after the debacle with our Tiptronic I am much more aware of how this new one works and goes so yes I will admit to being maybe paranoid but when you read worldwide issues with the DSG I think anyone is entitled to be concerned . One last comment over on VW Australia's Facebook page there are other T5 owners with DSG problems and not everyone knows about this forum or is a member . If you are convinced that these DSG's are going to be okay why did you suggest Foxpuppet gets an extended warranty ??
