    Who's DSG in a brand new Skoda (any model) misbehaved?

    A lot discussions in other parts of the forum on this topic is going on (incl. Adelaide's Advertiser in past 2 weeks Cars Guide) and I realized that not much of it made to the Skoda section. Maybe I missed it, maybe the affected Skoda owners debated it at other part of the forum? Or could it be that your Skoda left the factory with the DSG properly checked for the right operations and any needed corrections were done properly at the factory? Anyhow, those of you who had to go back to the dealer and had to have a work done on the DSG, we would like to hear about it.

    Please, do not post, if you just went back to the dealer and had it explained that the problem you were having was just the normal DSG behavior.

    Also, it is only for all Skoda models, so do not post about other VAG models. Use the below example how to start the post.

    Model year:
    DSG found faulty at xxxxxx km, on day/month/year/
    Repaired at xxxxxx km

    ...and then post, what the DSG was doing incorrectly in your own words (as many as you like).

    Positive experiences also welcome.
    You also should be the owner of the car, unless you have very detailed informations about the failure and are willing to share it.

    MY10 Octavia 118TSI, done 43995km. have just noticed the DSG is started to vibrate a lot when riding the clutch in second gear.

    Happens either when leaving from a stop in D, or when at crawling pace and accelerating away again.
    Car will be booked in next week for 45K service so will get them to check it out.

    Do you mean you have replaced them for other people? If so what was wrong with them?

    I see you posted the reply to my querie at the same time I was asking.You must be a mind reader
