Callout to people with out-of-warranty DSG problems

[VW Convert]

the 6 speed dsg is "wet", hence it needs to be serviced by changing the dsg oil.
the 7 speed dsg is "dry", it's sealed, hence no need to service.

Correct. Perhaps at this point before someone jumps in to correct us, we should note:-

6 Speed DQ250 = wet clutch
7 Speed DQ200 = dry clutch
7 Speed DQ500 = wet clutch

Just trying to cover all bases! LOL

correct.

also the DQ500 (7-dsg wet) is used by Audi.
Skoda doesn't use it in any of their models.
i'm not sure if VW use it any of theirs.

I wasn't sure if Skoda use the DQ500 but threw it in there because someone was bound to point out that there are 2 different 7 speed DSGs! LOL

I believe VW use the DQ500 in the Tiguan.

I think the Yeti 113TSI(petrol AWD with DSG) has the DQ500, as it required gear box oil changes, and the brochure stated it was a 7 speed. I could be wrong however, feel free to correct me.

unless there was a one of off special edition - i'm pretty sure no.

the DQ500 was only equiped, from factory on:-
- Audi: Q3, RS3, TTRS;
- VW: Transporter/Multivan/Caravelle, Tiguan.

no one else in VWAG family got it.

also the Yeti 112TSI, not 113TSI, only had 250Nm, which is within the capacity of the 7-speed DQ200.
the DQ500 would've been overkill !!!

Skoda has manufactured the 7 speed DQ200 since Dec 2012 along with the 1.4 Litre 90-92KW,103-110KW TSI engines which
it ships to Wolfsburg for the Golf.
I would be interested to hear of problems since 2012 models with DQ200.
